Nah - people are flat wrong on Alex Smith. He was decent for 2 years under a shitty coach with absolute garbage talent, he was damn good for 2 years with a good coach and tolerable talent.
Alex Smith is not Matt Cassel, nowhere close. Alex Smith is a credible starting quarterback.
However, 2010 is probably an accurate high-water mark.
They'll go 8-8. If he's around for 5 years, they'll go 10-6 a couple of times, maybe even an 11-5 season. They'll have a couple of 7-9 years in there as well.
Mostly they'll just spin their wheels, winning nothing but being competitive enough to keep the stadium full.
Just like Clark likes it.
Alex Smith, on his own, isn't really the problem here. It's the franchises refusal to even try to do any better.
