He was a young spread option QB with limited experience under center who was under the thumb of two ignorant defense minded head coaches. Compared to the fact that two of the greatest 'QB Gurus' have taken chances on Alex Smith now.

So the NFL has multiple years on the spread/pistol option that gave RGIII, Wilson, and Kap a leg up. And I doubt any new QB is going to have the same scheme bridge they had. I understand if you were pumped about there mere potential of Geno (or Barkley... if you're on that hill billy heroine), but give it some time to see what you have in Alex Smith. He didn't marry a cheer leader for his long bombs, but he can diagnose the blitz, read defenses, and create some defense saving drives.

That settles it
