Meaningless as they may have been, they were still infinitely more enjoyable than the 2-14 & 4-12 seasons.
I was never an Alex Smith fan. I didn't want to trade for him, and there were many times that his play on the field pissed me off. But, deep down, a part of me was happy that I wasn't watching Casshole, or Huard, or Tyler FN Palko.
What Alex Smith did in his last season with the Chiefs made me wonder what he could have been if Reid had been his head coach his entire career. In SF he was forced to go through a new head coaches, new offensive coordinators, and new offensive schemes almost every year of his career.
But, I am thankful for how he mentored Mahomes, and after last year, he absolutely has my respect. His perseverance and determination through his injury made me an Alex Smith fan, which was nearly as unlikely as his return to the NFL field.
