“Unfortunately, age comes into this thing,” Reid said. “You get old in this business. At one time (Smith) was the young up-and-comer. That doesn’t mean you’re going to be replaced tomorrow.

“But this is what’s real. You’re not as young as you used to be, so you bring a guy in, and this thing keeps position. It’s life.

This maybe Alex Smith season at least to start the season, I mean it is what have you done for me lately in any job. So if he doesn't go out and preform to expectations then he is replaceable and that is why they went out and traded up 17 spots for Patrick Mahomes II. If he is ahead of schedule and Alex continues to be a wiener it really doesn't matter what Coach says at the start of the season things change. Now if Alex Smith continues what he is doing in preseason then for rights he will undoubtedly keep his job. I think he will come out playing his best ball but how long will he keep it up is the question before he goes back into a shell after a sack or int?
