To the best available statement... had Alex Smith been a FA and they'd signed him, I wouldn't bitch one iota about him. They traded a price for him that says they expected more than they were getting. Spent a bunch of time talking about having their "1.1." quarterback and franchise guy. Propping him up.
Turns out, at least so far, they could have done just as well signing Jason Campbell (or another vet QB who can avoid mistakes) and using those picks to build the team's roster even more (QB, young rush end, WR, etc).

If by 'hardcore' fan you mean, 'someone happy going 2-14 year after year because QBOTF', then more power to you.
Was the trade too much? Time will tell.
So why didn't they pick Jason Campbell? Oh yeah...
