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.
