Awesome we now have 2 Justins on the Team!!!
Nice, now lets sign Vernon Carey's double and we will be set.

finally something i can agree with. while the contract isnt too high this type of signing is something idid not want. didn't we learn from the porter signing? everybody is talking about smiley as if he is alan fanacea's twin brother. i will support the guy 100% because he is a dolphin now but please ireland nomore people that can't possibly play till the season starts..how is this line supposed to gel when they are taking it easy during camps?i'm not trying to be a "debbie downer" but what is so great about Smiley? He is coming off a pretty serious injury for an o-lineman (a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum) which landed him on the IR for half of the season in 07 and we are giving him $9 million in guaranteed money...$9 million for a right guard? IMHO i don't think this is money well spent...sorry. If Cameron and Mueller made this move a lot of people would be all over them...becuase is was Parcells and Sparano it's a great move...right? I hope I'm wrong and I hope Smiley becomes a Pro Bowl player for the Fins...did he make the Pro Bowl yet? I don't think so.
Go Fins!!!

Go watch some 9er games, thats all I have to say. The guy isn't worth 5 million dollars a year. He's nothing special. Break the bank on a player that is going to help this team, not take another step back.
Dude, we're not talking about Wide Receivers or Running backs here, how many guards are flashy or stand out as something special?
This is grunt work and I've heard good things about this kid, obviously Parcells and company liked him enough to jump him right out of the gate in free agency.
It doesn't serve this team well to acquire lineman near the end of their careers, we are not that close.
They obviously didn't think Hadnot was worth the money they offered Smiley, or perhaps Hadnot is delusional about just how good he is.
I think he definantly is. I haven't seen no negatives on him on any 49'ers sites. On here is the only place you see people dissing him. Most of the 9er fans seem upset and thank him for his hard work and wish him the best. He seems like a hard working nasty guard and that is why we called him at 12:01 am.:winkwink:It says he is slated at RG. Is this the end for Hadnot? Is he an upgrade over Hadnot. I dont know much about the guy
He had shoulder surgery and lost some mass. He can play G and C and is high character. I'm not wowed by the first off season move this brain-trust has executed. Hopefully Pace/Briggs is next.
