Let me add more to the fire.
Why would they -specifically- want Alex Smith to be the short term fix if they draft Geno Smith?
Alex is brilliant at understanding the mental part of the game and has been starting for a long time...he is used to rattling off wordy play calls and fully understands the exact things Geno will need to learn.
Remember, nobody was willing to offer Alex a big time contract last year and this might have been the only place he could have started, or was assured he would start 2013.
1) his contract hasn't been extended and no conversations have taken place to do so.
2) Chase Daniels has a specific clause in his contract that opens the possibility he takes over for Alex Smith as the starter by game 7 or 8 in 2014. 2000 yards and 12 touchdowns is half a season. The clause voids the remaining years of the contract, meaning that it's a worthless clause if it happens in the third year because there is no fourth...it shows that even Daniels was told there is a chance he takes over as the starter in year two.
That right there shows you that they IN NO WAY see Alex Smith as the long term answer at this point.
