This. It's not like Alex Smith has been the starting QB for the Steelers or Patriots or some other solid team, and the whole team was awesome but he sucked and was the only reason they lost.
As has been said: it's to be the backup. Not the starter. If you can bring in a guy, for cheap money, who has
already thrown over 50 touchdowns in the NFL, compared to two backups with little experience, it's a no-brainer.
Hell, as a Patriots fan, I'd be more than happy if Belichick traded Brian Hoyer to you guys, and then traded for Alex Smith to be Brady's backup.
