The 49ers are taking a serious look at Peyton Manning. Alex Smith is a free agent this year and he’s expressed a desire to stay with the 49ers, but if the 49ers take Manning, there probably won’t be room for Smith on the team. I feel bad for Alex Smith. He’s like a Mercedes SLK that did a great job last year (you could say he had an AMG performance last year), but now the team has a chance to get an older model Mercedes SLR McLaren.
