No, I don't think that's the guy we're getting, but let's not be dishonest here; the kid's passer rating was 95 under Jim Harbaugh. He averaged 8 YPA in 2012; that's freakin' stellar. Alex Smith was absolutely a good QB in that time frame.

He averaged 8 yards a carry in 2012 because he very rarely threw the ball long or even intermediate. He only had 17 passes thrown over 20 yards and only 39 attempts of 11-20 yards. Even Matt Cassel threw the ball down the field with more frequency. He had 34 attempts over 20 yards and 61 attempts of 11-20 yards.
