Alex Smith weather you like it or not is/was the best QB out there. Taking a chance on Alex for what he brings to the table i think is worth the chance. If he doesn't work out then cut him. Make a effort at QB next year, maybe even draft someone this year.
Again you guys were 2-14. It's not like you guys are going to be contenders out of the blue, but with Alex there is at least a chance. You seem to have some talented players, and can add more with the number 1 pick(maybe more via trade), and 3 3rd rounders if I'm not mistaken. You also have free agents you can sign. Not to mention a decent/good HC(Very QB friendly just as Harbaugh).
Can Alex come in and get you guys to the playoffs? I dunno. I do think he can at least come in and lay the foundation for you guys. Be a leader in the locker room and not give games away with turnovers. I personally think he is a great fit, and even if he doesn't work out I think what he adds to a team that needs stability.
Paying a 2nd rounder for at the very least a decent "stop-gap", is a big risk, but at the same time it's worth what he will bring.

Geno Smith has the greater upside for long term success yes take Geno Smith. It's not hard to see that Geno Smith has the tallent and skills and the want to be great in him. He is coachable and wants to be coached up to maximize his success. I'd take a Geno Smith 10X before a retread like Alex Smith.
