I think its funny that some ppl would rather have Smiff than Tony Romo. Romos 4th qtr problems are greatly exaggerated. There was a study a while back that proved he was better in the 4th qtr than Tom Brady

But not in the games that matter. Peyton is a master of the regular season.

Alex will rarely kill you with boneheaded mistakes at crucial times. The flip side is, he won't ball out either. Romo could do either, so with Romo you are more feast or famine. I don't want feast or famine. I want predictable to build around until I can find a QB with feast and no famine.

Smith hasn't won jackshit either. Despite benefiting from a stacked Niners team for at least some of his career, he has a whopping one playoff win to his name ever. In his last two playoff games, he choked to the tune of 1-13 on third down and then blew a 38-10 lead in the second half. Real "winner."

The only QB's I didn't vote for as better than Alex are Dalton, Hoyer, Palmer, Henne, Carr, Manuel, Glennon, Fitzpatrick, Locker, and Hill. Not exactly great company there.

You must be the kind of guy that dates a 6 for four years, even though you know the relationship isnt going anywhere and the sex sucks.

Did Glennon get a bad deal in Tampa? He put up decent stats for a rookie playing on a meh team.

I listed 9 QBs ahead of him and a couple were close. I find it amusing that every QB was picked by someone. The fact 9 picked a rookie who has never started a single game is laughable~

This.
I picked 10 who were better.

Proof positive that you're an idiot.

It is hard to say really, the problem with Alex is he is so worried about protecting the ball he doesn't take chances and that is not always good. Sometimes chances can turn into great rewards.

Who is better than Alex Smith?
 

That's what makes Alex Smith so tough to classify, in my opinion. He's just so overly conservative. In a league where such a large percentage of games are won and lost by 7 points or less, you really can win a lot of games simply by not screwing up.

Of course, he also isn't the guy that can dig you out of a hole ala Tony Romo or Jay Cutler when the defense isn't playing well or you have to deal with some unlucky bounces.

So, the people who a clear majority (2/3 of us) agree are better than Alex Smith:

Aaron Rodgers
Andrew Luck
Ben Roethlisberger
Drew Brees
Peyton Manning
Russell Wilson
Tom Brady

You could quibble with Roethlisberger or Wilson perhaps, but I think that's pretty fair.

He's several orders of magnitude better than Alex. I can't believe ANYONE thinks it's even a question.

Hey Clay..what do you see as Alex Smiths fatal flaw?

His arm is pretty good.
He was pushing the ball down the field the second half of the year (as Andy directed him to)
He is very mobile
He is good under pressure
He protects the ball well
He is smart
He is a good leader

I guess I don't understand why you hate the guy so much

Answer: Alex isn't a fantasy football chucker with swag.
