San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith and cornerback Carlos Rogers made it clear on Monday that they would love to re-sign with the Niners for next season.

Smith isn’t in a rush right now to get a deal done.
“Not in a crazy rush at this point as far as today, tomorrow,” Smith
said. “I think we’ll kind of take our time a little bit. I think I
have ’til March 13 or something, when the contract’s up. But I think
sooner than later, no question, don’t want it to go too long.”
Smith didn’t want to answer whether or not he wants to test the open market.
“I’m not going to get into that,” said Smith.
“I mean, At this point I love it here, love what’s going on, love this
team, the coaching staff, everything about it,” he sai...

49ers QB Alex Smith Says Offense Was To Blame For Loss
49ers QB Alex Smith blames the offense for today's loss to the Giants in the NFC Championship: We were awful on third down.

NFL Conference Championship Review
A fairly good Baltimore defensive effort was wasted by a terrible field goal try. I'm a former high school kicker (keep that on the down low though will you....chicks never dig the kicker) and I could not believe how bad he hooked that thing. Everything was set up for a Raven win. They kept the Pats under 24 points, forced Brady and others into turnovers and still.....it was...
