They simply felt: Alex Smith > the 2 second rounders. I can't disagree at this point.

At this point.
Looking back on this in 10 years, I'm guessing we'll be saying the same things we said about the Trent Green trade. Or the Matt Cassel trade.
We can only hope it's closer to the Joe Montana trade.
And that's just the thing. We've tried this. Over and over actually. And it's never worked. I can understand that people want to hope that their team can be a winner.
I'm past that. I won't ever fully believe in this team again without the benefit of hindsight.
