49ers QB Alex Smith has been a colossal bust since being selected 1st overall back in 2005. But it sounds like new HC Jim Harbaugh wants Smith to stay in San Fran and compete for the starting job in 2011. Smith will become a free-agent as soon as a new CBA is in place, but multiple sources are reporting that the Niners have already offered him a new 1-year deal. Regardless of where he ends up, Smith will need to battle for a starting job this year.
