He's going to move the chains and give your team the chance to wi a lot of games, as long as you surround him with talent across the board on offense, and support him with a top of the line defense.
He is the very definition of efficient game manager.
The problem is that you are going to come up against teams in the playoffs that have all of that in place, but that are led by a QB that can put his team on his shoulders and make plays to win games.
Alex Smith can not.
He doesn't suck, but he is nowhere near good enough.

the one playoff game Smith played, he won -- against Brees & the Saints.
Alex Smith threw three TD's & ran one in during that game. He made the game winning pass in a come from behind win during a fourth qtr that changed leads five times.
Is he good enough? ha. if this team can generate pass rush from the RDE position, this team is as good if not better than the one Alex Smith is leaving. The one that got within one victory of playing for the championship.
They need better. Everybody does. You can't pass up Smith just because he might not be as good as Geno in four years and there is no guarantee Geno will be better. Easy to think he will, he's got that arm and makes good decisions, etc. but this ain't college.
Alex Smith gives the Chiefs the ability to win now and you can argue he isn't good enough all you want, but it's obvious he'd make this team an instant winner with the ability to win playoffs against formidable opponents.
