Hello, all. James here with your Nuggets for the day. So there was some pretty good news yesterday, about Smith signing a new contract with the 49ers. This is good because it gives us a young talent at the position, and pending good playing, a QB of the future. I really want to believe in Alex, I want him to do good. I feel like his best football is ahead of him if he works hard at it. I believe Hill needs to be the starter for next season, but Smith needs to work hard, be productive in the preseason, and he should get his shot come 2010. I only want him starting this coming season if he plays so well in the preseason that he's unquestionably better than Hill. That being said, I've got a few links for you, enjoy and what not.
As posted earlier, QB Alex Smith and the 49ers agreed to a new contract. I'm excited, to put it bluntly. He's looking for a fresh start. (SFGate.com)
So what is the "real" Alex Smith? Which one will we be getting? (PressDemocrat.com)
Smith feels like he has unfinished business, and is excited about competing with fellow QB Shaun Hill. Shaun Hill wins, book it. (PressDemocrat.com)
We need to win now and prepare for the future. Hill then Smith, anyone? (Examiner.com)
Barrows suggests we not forget about QB Damon Huard. I definitely have. (SacBee.com)
Smith: Nice guy who probably should have moved on? (MercuryNews.com)
Was it a bad move for Smith to stay? Man all these articles are getting annoying, but everyone's opinion is important. Well... OK, so not everyone's, but a couple people at least, right? (ContraCostaTimes.com)
KR/PR Allen Rossum and DE Demetric Evans official signed their contracts. (49ers.com)
How will the selling of the Great America theme park alter the 49ers stadium plans? (We have plans?) (MercuryNews.com)

Love the blogger on Jeff Garcia and NFL GMs.
Hated the Alex Smith is too nice to succeed article. I remember Joe Montana being a nice guy and a great competitor, so much for the nice guys can’t play QB theory . . . like Smith’s problem is his good deposition.

Draft Order
Can anyone explain why the Niners and Buffalo switch between picking 10th and 11th each round?
Tom will never be as cool as Joe

They were tied and the NFL alternates ties. See the bottom of the page.

If having a crappy disposition equals success
how’s TO doing these days?

I think
the Smith renegotiation was fine. He’s lived through QBing with no OL, Hostler, two major shoulder injuries, and Nolan. Things’ll get better for him.

Garcia
Singletary has said that he doesn’t see Jeff Garcia as a clear upgrade over Shaun Hill. He was never really in the discussion. He’s not going to be signed.

Yeah, I’m going to go ahead and forget about Huard. I’d much rather have Hill, and even Smith, as a backup to whichever of them is starting.
STEVE HOLM! refuses to be the odd man out.

Garcia article.
The author is baffled by why no one wants the former All-Pro but only considers the on-field stuff Garcia brings. He fails to even consider that maybe Garcia (and/or his agent) is marketing him a little too high, as this may be Garcia’s last shot at a decent sized contract.
