I agree with you in that I'm trying to look at the positives in this. I was not enamored by the trade. I never thought much of Smith. However, if Smith can come in here and be the next version of Joe Montana (Chiefs version) or Trent Green I think we will all forget about our disappointment in this trade. I'm hoping the last 2 years' version of Alex Smith was not a fluke and will continue with good coaching by Reid. If not, well then everyone can say they were right. Ugghh.
I'm also going to be pissed if Geno Smith goes on to be a great NFL QB. And it will be especially painful if he does that for a team like the Raiders.
