Wanting it desperately to be so doesn't change the reality.
Reid/Dorsey took the best option that was available. Alex Smith was the best option out of a pool that included Kolb and Flynn...and nothing.
This isn't Madden 2013, they can't put it on a season simulator and just tank the year and try again next year. It's a business, they're paid to win, and they're going to try like hell to do so.
This was what was available. You can only deal in the realities.

This.
I hear people saying, just keep taking QBs in the first round until you hit. That's a sure way to lose your job, and to suck. So, they take Geno this year, they start him most likely he'll struggle, so take another next year. Do you start the rookie, or give Geno another year? So, you've got two rookie first round QBs. If Geno is still struggling a bit, do you put in the other? Maybe he struggles too. So, the next year you take another. Now you've got three first round draft pick QBs, two have looked good and bad at times, you could try to trade one, but they haven't impressed enough to get much back, but it doesn't really concern you anymore, because you just got fired.
