I always think of Mr Smee from Peter Pan when I think of Smith. That is all

1-5 in playoffs.

No TDS to WRs for entire year

5 wasted years

Anyone who starts threads about Alex smith should be banned.

Skins fans are trying to figure out a way to get out of that contract. We wasted 5 years and accomplished nothing with him. Now it’s their turn to wallow in the feces that is Alex Smith.

Smith never lifted the team around him here to anything other than checkdowns.

... but that's one sexy bazillionaire though, amirite? :p

Whatever man. I just hope in the next game he wears all white and brings a bucket of chicken with him.

If you're going to groom yourself to have the appearance of colonel sanders, you might as well dress the part and bring a prop..

Yep, he's terrible. No "mic presence" at all.

I could somehow hear him sitting in his recliner, his pbr on the end table, and his nut scratching between bathroom visits to “see a man about a horse.”

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with you. Fouts is awful too but Arians is atrocious.

No, he never lifted the team around him. But there have been plenty of QB's with multiple starts, during Smith's career, that have actively dragged their teams down. Maybe it is just semantics, but those are the QB's I would call bad.

If Smith was as bad as some of you argue, we wouldn't have gotten what we did trading Smith at this point in his career, nobody is going to expect him to turn over a new leaf.

But whatever. I'm thrilled the team gave up on game manager and rolled the dice for a QB with a huge upside.

Smiff is an accurate reflection of the mediocrity of the league overall, a complete and total, "let's just all save our jobs"-kind of QB that offers nothing to fans who want to see their team actually DO something in life.
I generally feel nothing for other fan bases, but Washington has my complete sympathy.

Alex Smith is the blueprint for how to stick around and make a lot of money. Check it down, make a few plays with your legs, never take a risky throw. You may never win shit in the playoffs but you can Marty your way to a long career.

In fairness to Alex...he's lucky to have been in the league as long as he has.

SF stuck w/ him through a bunch of coaching staff changes.

Usually that doesn't happen, esp through as many coaches he's been through. I believe if Alex had played for Philly instead of McNabb (just for sake of argument), his early days of his career would have been much better.

And once he finally settled down w/ a winning QB friendly coach, he got inj and then was replaced with a flashier guy with the hot hand.

So really, all things considered, Alex is extremely lucky to have lasted as long as he has. His NFL career path and environment he's had to deal w/ is a flat out recipe for disaster for any young player, let alone a ****ing QB who went 1st overall in the draft.

He choked when it mattered other than the Indy playoff game. He never got KC fans a SB, but he got us the next best thing...he helped groom a super talented QB who was ready his 1st start ...someone that could lead us to multiple SB's down the road...hell maybe even this yr.

And for that we owe Alex Smith a huge thanks.

So he gets credit for being the starter when Mahomes arrived? Does anyone actually think it mattered who the starter was when Mahomes arrived and things would be anything different than what they are now? Only a ****ing idiot.

Fun Alex fact: he’s neither relinquished a lead this season nor led his team back from a deficit of any kind.
