Re: What is Ryan Mallett worth?
A 13-3 season is about the only thing there is to say about Alex Smith. This is also the guy who:
1. Is four years older than Mallett
2. Lacks Mallett's arm
3. Was a huge bust with every coach before Harbaugh
4. Played in a very conservative offense
5. Was aided to a 13-3 record by a top defense
6. Costs around $7M more than Mallett each of the next two seasons
7. Averaged just over a TD per game in his best full season
Alex Smith is proven mediocrity. Mallett actually has potential. There's a big difference.
There is absolutely zero chance we get anything near a first round pick for him. Alex Smith has a 13-3 season under his belt and he didn't even fetch a first. This is like how talk of Hoyer could get us a 2nd round pick. Completely bloated expectations of him.
I would be extremely surprised if we got a second.
