I think this attitude is a purely emotional response. It is illogical to say there is no situation in existence where your top pick doesn't start day one.
I don't give a shit when my first overall pick starts playing. What I care about is when he stops, and how well he played during that time.
Because if his last game is twelve years away with a Lombardi trophy and MVP, then why the hell would I care that he didn't start his first year, or first game?
But it is a fair point, and probably realistic to assume, that Alex Smith wouldn't want to go to a team that takes a QB. So, yeah, I will concede that point. Wishful thinking on my part, I guess.
