He's middle of the road. He's not great, and he doesn't suck. NO, that's not good enough, probably to win Super Bowls, which is why it's appropriate to not be excited about him.
Calling him Matt Cassel, however, is just silly. Cassel's stats are inflated by 2008 and 2010. He's been horrible since. Smith's numbers get better more recently. One is clearly ascending, one clearly descended. They're not the same guy at all.

I don't see him as ascending.
He has gotten coaching and playcalling to help him avoid failure.
That is how Cassel "succeeded" in '08 and '10.
