Did Alex Smith change your mind.
I like many others wasnt ecstatic about the acquisition.
I didnt hate it as some on this board and understood it may have been the best available and we got him. A season later and Im happy to have him as QB but still want to go after that drafter franchise QB in every single draft somehow someway. I dont dread going into next season with him like I did the last few season with Piolis golden boy. Did he change your mind on him? |

Smith improved with the offense throughout the season and saved his best performance for when it counted. He did it without the best offensive weapon on our team as well.
I didn't need my mind changed in the first place but anyone right now saying this guy can't get it done doesn't know their ass from their elbow. |

My mind didnt really need changing, but I sure didnt foresee 378 with 4 touchdown and O picks.
Thats a Brady, Brees, Manning, Rodgers line. |

I have caught hell for supporting him all season. I didn't foresee the defensive collapse. This was like watching the 1995 and 2003 seasons in one season with each taking a half f it. |

Average Indy scoring drive was 2 minutes and 32 seconds. How ****ing ridiculous is that?

My mind didn't need to be changed. I knew the kid was good. I sure thought Bowe and the defense would be great... so I was painfully wrong about that.
I do hope lots of negative opinions of him have changed. Just remember.. no one is calling him elite or beyond reproach. He's just a good QB that will do his part in winning games, but you have to assist him with decent receivers, blocking, and a defense that can force a few punts per half.

Alex was garbage the first half of the season.
Whether or not that was HIS fault for playing Scared, or Reids fault for putting him on a leash, I do not know. What I do know is that the last couple of months he has been playing well enough compete in the playoffs and he has earned my respect before I blindly gave it to him. Next year will be a better eye test fore he will be playing tougher competition. So far so good for Alex Smith. My hatred is for Bob Sutton. |

Kind of. Despite being what I always thought he was. Conservative, team guy, leader, winner, he has now become a play maker.
I thought the first half of the season, that he just was what he was. He has now become a franchise qb.
