Yup. I'm not a big Alex Smith fan. But I think people have the misperception that you have to run a Drew Brees offense to be successful, and that's just not at all the case. The Ravens and the Giants are examples of teams that tend to be really difficult to stop in the playoffs, and they do it by playing efficiently. These guys do similar things as Alex Smith does, but they can also make big plays (when needed) and are the definition of a game manager, where within reason they can take what the defense gives them (which means being able to shoot out, if needed).
