If Smith was coming here with Romeo Crenell, I'd listen to that argument. He's not. He's coming here with a guy who can coordinate an offense. Andy Reid has made far less competent QBs look good. Alex Smith is a significant upgrade.

You really have to see how the draft plays out before you can honestly try to make things equivalent.

Ive already gave up the Geno dream. I just dont want to draft a OT #1. Im hoping for Jordan but I know it will either be Joeckel or Fisher.

Cassel has gotten worse every year since 2010. Since 2010, Alex Smith has played much, much better. I've hated Alex Smith for a long time prior to this trade, but he's a much better QB than Cassel and it's not close. He's not my choice for QB, but I'll see how he plays before I crucify him.

Trouble is Alex Smith isn't a good starting QB especially when he is forced to throw the ball, which Reid will do. Its mind blowing how awful he is when he had to throw. He did good playing Martyball style but Andy Reid isn't a Martyball style coach.

I'm against taking a LT first as much as anyone...BUT if Albert is indeed gone you have no choice. I did like what I saw from Stephenson, but not enough to go into the season with him as the starter. And I prefer Joeckel over Fisher

Sadly, I think some on this board have forgotten how absolutely HORRIBLE Cassel was at his trade. He was a slow thinker who pretty much had to have WRs wide open BEFORE he would release the stinking ball. Smith is a MUCH better QB. End of story.....albeit a rather short story.

How about % of snaps? If he exceeds Branden Albert's 2012 benchmark of 67%, we'll call him a success. If not, a bust. Whatcha think?

Smith has started more than 10 games only twice in his career, though, so I'll be shocked if he's able to display an durability of note. |
