A team that was worse than an expansion team last year ought to look at what it takes to succeed in the NFL and think about it.
Alex Smith is a first round quarterback. He's never had a rating below 80 the last 4 years. Last year he was above 90, and this year about 100. He threw a grand total of 10 interceptions over the last 2 seasons.
Last year, with a good team around him, Alex Smith had his team 3 points away from the Super Bowl. Guys with this resume never become free agents in the NFL. Not when they are 28 years old.
And people here tell you to "kill yourself" when you suggest that this guy might be a safer bet than a rookie who couldn't win games in a major conference in college football.
We're supposed to believe that even though Alex Smith was a field goal away from the Super Bowl last year it doesn't mean anything. He's Matt Cassel. Geno Smith is the only way we'll ever get to the Super Bowl.
The groupthink has gone over the cliff. Logic and reason are beside the point here.
Well, this is why you're selling insurance and Dorsey/Reid are in the NFL, let's hope they get this right. We could be back in the wild card hunt sooner than later if they do.

Alex Smith against a good defense converted 1 of 13 3rd down opportunities when the team needed him to step up and make plays.
That 1 conversion was a meaningless conversion at the end of the first half.
You can go the safe route and take Alex Smith, and never have any hope of advancing to the SB.
But if that's the route that Reid and Dorsey choose to go, they can go **** themselves, and you.
