Peter King: You have to go back to 1997 to find a draft like this one

This perception that Harbaugh somehow fixed Alex Smith is just not accurate.

Harbaugh did freat job of masking Smith's flaws with scheme and play calling.
He turned him into pretty good game manager that didn't lose games for them.

Did Smith even average 200 yards a game?

And Kyle Williams never gets to be the goat in that NFC Championship loss if Smith converts just 2 or 3 meaningful 3rd downs.

Right. The Niners were basically a better version of the 90s Chiefs. Run hard, play tough D, solid turnover ratio
