Default 49ers: Alex Smith out several weeks

from www.fanball.com

The News
The 49ers won't have Alex Smith under center for a long time. The quarterback told the San Francisco Chronicle that he expects to miss "several weeks" with the Grade 3 separation of his throwing shoulder that he suffered on Sunday. No surgery is planned right now, but the team will know more about his condition on Thursday.

Our View
Trent Dilfer will start in Smith's place, and that is bad news for an already shaky passing attack. Dilfer managed only 128 yards and threw a pair of picks against the Seahawks, and things won't be any easier this week against the Ravens.

Top 15 pick? But would we end up trading such a pick?

I want top 10. I want to then TRADE the top 10 for a later #1 and a future #1, just so BB can, once again, tell the NFL to F off.

They'll win more games without Smith than with him. No QB comes back from a separated shoulder in the same season and lives to tell about it.

Both Bledsoe and Brady suffered shoulder woes. Brady in 2002, Bledsoe in 1999.

Not good.

Hopefully teams won't let up on the 49ers just b/c they think it'll be easier to beat them with Dilfer under center.

Not if Ken Phillips is on the board Emagine replacing Rodney and Eugene with Meriweather and Phillips? Sick!!

I still like Rey Maualuga by the way.

Who knows, we'll do what makes sense on the board - but the higher the better, clearly, whether it's used or traded.

move back into the twenties, grab a second rounder, that would make up for the one we lost, and we wont have to pay millions to sign him in the teens

They play this week against Baltimore but then have their bye week at the right time.

Yes, but we get those high first rounders for six years instead of five.
