I use to compare Alex Smith and Cassel back in 2010. That's when I thought they were similar players. Cassel at his peak, and Smith before JH. I think their careers have taken completely different directions since then, and I wouldn't compare the two at all now.
Look at it this way. If Alex Smith had gone to Minnesota would he be backing up Ponder? If you think so, you're fooling yourself. No matter where he went, he was going to start.
