I honestly think it's completely fair to expect a lot out of Alex. I don't think you guys should be expecting a guy to come in and play "mediocre" football. I understand the frustration there. I think the expectations should be much more. I think Alex would agree with that as well. I would expect playoffs or at the very least massive improvement.
You spent a decent amount to get the guy. He's been playing well and that's why Andy Reid made the decision. He himself, has a HUGE chip on his shoulder to come in and play well. Alex isn't the type of guy that doesn't want to be successful, if I can guarantee you one thing it will be that Alex will work his ass off.
He has never had a new setting, so just maybe a new change of scenery and coaching philosophy he can up his game up a notch or two. Or maybe many are right, he just may well flop. But I think Alex has a decent chance at becoming a pretty damn good QB. You have some solid pieces, and will only get better through the draft and FA.
