Especially considering they could have had both! Anywhere near the success they had last playoffs and they have bargaining leverage with Smith and can start Kapernick next season. Win-win.

Smith's a UFA.

If you're starting Kaep next year, why would there be any leverage with Smith? There'd be zero leverage because there'd be a zero percent chance he'd re-sign there.

I thought three way ties are decided by conference record, but I'm not sure. I'm also to lazy to look this up right now... yes... I'm to lazy to use google or apparently use proper punctuation.

Yeah, I dunno. I'm confused.
Thought he was meaning that they could re sign Alex for cheap cuz they could say they would just start Kaep if he didn't re-sign, but that doesn't really make sense either.
Oh well.
Go Alex Smith, Go Utes, Death to the 49ers.

You're right about not having anything to bargain with. It would have still been win-win to stick with Smith through the playoffs then Kap has all next season to get acclamated to the offensive personnel and them to him. I just think they shot themselves in the foot this year by making the move they did.

Correct. Pats would be the 1 seed, Texans the 2 seed, and the Peyton's would be the 3 seed.

Assuming the Pats beat the Dolphins, these all win. I also put in a few more which will all win too unless the Browns win this weekend. My NBA season ones are looking solid so far too.
