That means that the chances of winning with Alex Smith after 3 years substatntially decrease, especially since one of his positive attributes is his mobility.

So, the reality is, trading for a 29 year old QB is a win now move.
I never said it wasn't. Although my concept of that move in a "win now" sense covers about 5 years. He was never a desperation move like the Broncos and Manning, which was literally a 2-year window. Sure they want(ed) to win if they could/can in 2013 and 2014, and in their eyes I'm sure signing him was a part of that, but at the same time Smith's almost certainly going to be the starter here well beyond that. I believe it was as much a long term move as it was a short term. Not a move I liked or would have made, but nonetheless...
