If you really think Matt Cassel = Alex Smith then I don't know that I can take any football take you have seriously.
Cassel has bottomed out in an enormous way. He couldn't sustain the success he had in 2010, or even come within 10% of that success.
Alex Smith is not a good QB. I won't pretend he is. However, he has put together his 2 best seasons as a pro, and actually beaten some good teams in the process.
Cassel hasn't beaten a single good team since he came here.
Smith is a far superior QB to Cassel. I don't care what 2010 stats you want to pull out about Cassel. He didn't beat a single playoff team with a winning record.
I trust Reid to get the most out of Smith. What that amount is, who knows.
