I don't really care what anyone else thinks I consider myself to be realistic and at the end of the day I would rather see Alex Smith be a true franchise QB opposed to some who'd rather see him fail so they can tell everyone "I told you so."
I will never rewatch that game again...but I'm pretty sure if I did, I'd still think, "damn, Alex played ****ing good today!"
and the fact that game exists and that performance exists out of Alex tells me he can be a franchise QB in this league
The dude has strung together 3 solid years in a row now...and this will be year 2 in a new system for him...
so I expect him to have a good ****ing year
and if he doesn't? I'll be the first one to say, "wow, Alex Smith really disappointed me this year."
I think he's around the 12th-15th best QB (which isn't great) with some upside (as seen in the Indy game) and I certainly wouldn't trade him for Joe ****ing Flacco.
