What is the obsession with Alex Smith anyway?
The difference between him and say, Jason Campbell, is NEGLIGIBLE.
IF you're talking about them being BACKUPS, that is.
The only way you get a difference out of them is if they're the full-time starter. So be honest, do you really want him as a backup?

Honstly, I'm in this for the long haul. I want Geno Smith to be drafted and turn out to be Tom Brady. Fact is, we don't know who or what we would get with Geno or any other rookie, and right now, we have NO ONE on the roster capable of winning in the NFL. If I'm a GM trying to build the best team I can, I have no problem giving Alex Smith a try for a 4th rounder and letting him compete to be the starter. If Geno can't beat him out, then we at least have a guy. I don't want to go the Geno route without some capable backup that can win games. I'd be fine with Jason Campbell as well, but haven't heard his name tossed around at all.
