That being said, I “did” fell bad for him back in the day. Drafted before he could have a drink legally, drafted back in the more “rougher” days of the nfl where rookie hazing was a thing… I think his first season of 1 TD and 11 INT really did a number on him mentally. I mean for ****s sakes, Mike singletary was his head coach and was on record saying “you need a quarterback” while smith was on the team and healthy. Post singletary with harbaugh and Reid he seemed to enjoy a good career and probably was able to come to peace with those earlier seasons. What was it like 5 OC’s in his first 5 years or something stupid like that?

Alex did have it rough his first few years in SF. He didn't live up to the hype of #1 overall pick, but he eventually was able to carve out a decent career.
