11:10 AM ET 08.14 | One exhibition game and one week of practice haven't made Alex Smith a runaway favorite to retain the 49ers starting quarterback job. Smith, however, remains the front-runner in coach Jim Harbaugh's mind.

Based on the sampling I saw the other night, he going to lead the league in getting sacked too.

Curious to know what Harbaugh's Plan B and Plan C are, because this dude isn't the answer.

Andrew Luck is his plan B, C, D all the way to Z.

Yeah, he was pretty much running and ducking for his life against the Saints D, from the start of the game. He was only 2 for 7 passing for a whopping ten yards and he was hit in about 2 sec. or less on other plays. His O-line is going to get him killed

At least they don't have old Horse Faces picture up!

WE NEED HEEEELLLLLLLP!!! I hear that we're talking to Dante Culpepper right now! Anyone but Alex Smith would make me a happy camper.

Why waste a second round pick on Kaepernick then? I don't think Harbaugh is really counting on getting Luck.

Agreed. The only way San Francisco lands Andrew Luck is by finishing with the worst record in the league. And if that happens, Harbaugh might not be around to draft him.

Donte Culpepper . . .

LOL.

Culpepper might be a slight upgrade at QB in the NFC West.

August 15, 2011  06:12 AM ET

I bet by October The 49'ers trade for Mallett (from patriots) and the patriots get a bunch of draft picks.

JaMarcus Russell is sitting at home wondering why no one has called him...

The Dolphins might have something to say about that as well.

Because he ignored all the calls from the phone company about paying his bill?
