Alex Smith, IMO, is a starting QB in the NFL. He is a guy that would not have been available under normal circumstances. Most coaches would have went back to their starter who was 6-2-1 after 9 games last season, and Kaepernick would have went back to the bench, once Smith would have came back.
Now will Smith light it up here? That's the 10 million dollar question.
And yes, I was on the Geno bandwagon. Apparently I was wrong.
Alex Smith is our QB this season. I am on board.

This is pretty much where I'm at on it. I'll add that since Harbaugh kind of jerked the rug out from under Smith and with all the hate around here for him I'm routing for him to prove them all wrong. Not saying he will but I'm pulling for the guy.
