They are 24-9 when he starts, since the trade. They are 7-19 when he doesn't.

The Patriots could have paid Newton more. They chose not to. So, just assuming that they'd happily pony up more for Bridgewater is only that, an assumption. It has no basis in fact.
The 49ers lost a crapload of players to injury last season, including their starting QB, arguably the league's best TE, Bosa, Samuel, etc... Many of those players will be back this year. How do the Patriots injury losses + potential returns stack up?
These are excuses you'll only make for other teams and never accept for New England.
What's his final take with the in-game, snap-count bonus structures? $6? $7?
So that means they should invest $10+ on a back-up, which means over $36m at the QB position?
The niners still waxed us.
I’d prefer Mariota over Smith
Oh, I know. That's why I was laughing when he used the 49ers are his counter. His double down is funny as hell, too.
I like the idea of signing Smith, if it's accompanied by another one of the "vets", and if it's done because the team is going to grab a young QB who would benefit from a year on the bench. You don't want to count on Smith for a full 17 games, but you might be able to piece 17 games together with a combo of, for example, Smith/Fitzpicksix.
Smith is a winner, albeit mostly regular season. Hopefully the kid is ready sooner but if not Smith can bring you to the playoffs. I don't trust Mariota to play at any solid level. I could be wrong. But would rather a youngin learn from Smith than Mariota. Just my $0.02
They could have adjusted his deal. You're not even trying to think about this. You're just flailing about, willy-nilly.
It means that they win when he starts. It means that, with a backup who can do a better job, they can stay competitive. And, if you'd read what I'd posted, you'd have seen the part about an extension, real or "fake", lessening the hit.
What does Houston get?
I'm not flailing, and you really don't need to be an ******* about it.
So you obviously didn't read my initial posts attentively, but you complained about them, you are flailing about (your San Francisco take was ridiculous) , and you're calling me names because you don't like that I responded accordingly...
