Alex Smith would have to break his neck in training camp and never play again for this to be a worse trade.
Stop the bullshit spin.

Palmer had a lot more upside than Alex does. They paid a lot, took a risk and fell flat on their face. The result may not have worked, but I admire the stones to be agressive at the QB spot for a guy that might have some elite years left in him. In the end, good move with a bad result just like busting out on a 1st round QB.
