I don't think Alex Smith is as good as Russell Wilson. The real argument is that Alex Smith has actually played pretty well in the playoffs when he got there. He played out of his mind against the Colts, regardless of the people who want to blame the offense for that loss.
And when he was with San Francisco he went toe to toe in an offensive shootout with Brees and won. And not only that, threw a clutch TD pass with seconds to go for the win. There are a lot of QBs who never do either of those things in the playoffs.
Does that mean he can repeat it again? I don't know. He may not. But I don't think he's Matt Cassel either, and that's how he's treated on this board. Anyone who says this is a homer-filled board is full of it.
