No ****ing way.
Smith passes the eye test as an NFL QB. He at least throws the ball like an adult.
Cassel is horrible in every way. Cassel is one of the worst QB's I've ever seen.
Alex Smith is probably about the 15th best QB in the NFL. His ceiling is probably the 11th best. He is what he is.
In the NFL, do I want the 11th best QB to be my "franchise" QB? Hell no. But we're not trading for Cassel. Smith compares WAY MORE to Green than Cassel.
There is no way Alex Smith couldn't run Reid's offense as good, if not better than Kevin Kolb and Kevin Kolb had a few games where he screamed "franchise QB"...
Like I said, we trade a 4th for Smith, trade out of #1 and then land an E.J. Manual and Tavon Austin and I'll be disappointed we didn't get our guy but I won't be without hope since Reid/Dorsey at least attempted to fix our QB and land a decent prospect as well.
I can live with Smith/Manual I'll hate Smith/late round QB.
