Poop Yep, Alex Smith is here to stay.

I don't think many people think Alex Smith is the most awesomest QB on the planet.

I don't think there's much of an argument that there wasn't a better option in the 2013 offseason. There really isn't. If you think drafting Barkley in the late 3rd and starting him day one is a better option...well, I guess you're entitled. If you think that Geno was the guy, then you're entitled to THAT opinion too, but 32 NFL GM's disagree with you. They've all been wrong before, it's true, but at this point, it would appear that he just wasn't special.

I liked Trent Green just fine, but he was a marginally talented in all physical ways. I use him as an example of what can be done with a very smart but not particularly talented QB. If you remember him as a mad bomber then your recollections are different than mine.

I expect that Andy Reid is going to run an Andy Reid offense. They will use screens, and they will use slants and they will occasionally chuck it deep in order to force the defense to defend every inch of the field, from sideline to sideline and front to back. That is what Reid has always done at every other stop. Expecting him to run a Herm Edwards offense or a Brian Daboll offense because...well, because you don't like the QB choice is dumb. Reid's gonna do what Reid does, and if Smith sucks he'll sit and quickly.
