As someone who suffered for almost a decade under Smith’s reign of terror, it’s not even close.
The team was garbage when we traded for Jimmy. We were 1-10 with a bad offense that couldn’t put up points. He comes in without even knowing the playbook and has our offense humming like stop 5 unit to close out the season.
We goes down in 2018, then we suck again.
He comes back and now we’re in the Super Bowl.
He’s a winner, and he plays clutch on 3rd down and in the 4th quarter, two things Smith always sucked at.
I think the Chiefs’ speed is probably too much to handle, but don’t expect some deer-in-headlights Alex Smith who’s throwing the ball in the dirt on 3rd down or overthrowing guys by 5 yards when they’re wide-ass open.

That’s a reasonable post. I was a big-time Alex Smith detractor for many of the reasons you cite. Their play styles are different and I’d prefer Garoppolo. Both need the scheme and team around them to succeed, though, IMO.
