Alex Smith = Franchise QB?
 

He made plays when he absolutely had to. I honestly didn't think he had it in him, although, he was a #1 overall pick....so there was always talent there. Thoughts?

No

No, but it makes a person think about how much better Luck is because of Harbaugh.

I think He'll be OK.. However without NO 5 turnovers today, i dont think the 9ers would have won

No.

That's an interesting angle I never considered before.

I'd still take him over Cassel.

JFC no

Better than anything the Chiefs have had since Green retired and better than anything we currently have on our roster...

Alex won a playoff game...

Yea but that doesn't answer the question.

Yea, I'm more of this opinion as well. Props to him though, he made sme great plays today.

I think people dismiss the idea far too easily.

I've always said a franchise QB is defined by what he does when it matters most.

Smith came up huge on not one, but two drives, late in the game when it mattered the most.

With Harbaugh..

He has a chance....

Clearly. But you have to credit San Fran too. Most of those weren't so much give-aways as much as they were take-aways.
