He's mentally tough and resilient, and that will earn respect, but I don't think it's enough to put a team in the SB.

Trent Green was mentally tough and resilient until that hit he took from that Bengals asshole gave him a concussion and left his brains scrambled eggs. Trent was never the same and got old.
Alex Smith has suffered concussions and also has had shoulder injury. I'm not saying he is going be removed right away with any big hits but he is a huge liability to last very long if he can make it through a season or two I will be surprised. I'm not even saying Alex Smith isn't tough mentally just saying he is weak physically and this contributes to why I'm not happy with this 2nd round trade and really be upset if we have to give up another 2nd round trade and not acquire a rookie draft pick next year.
Alex Smith is not young and has a worn arm and has taken some nasty hits. His window here is very short imo.
