In 2006 Alex Smith became one of the only QB's in the History of the NFL to start and play every single snap of the season. No other 49er in history has done it and only a few in the NFL, Brodie, Montana, Young, Garcia ect... As for him being injury prone you can blame his shoulder on Mike Nolan, he accused Alex of not really being hurt. So he threw him in there and he was hurt worse on National TV. He really is a durable guy. Concussions, happen. He was cleared the next week, but Kap had taken off and Harbaugh rode it out. so they kept smith out. It wasnt that he couldnt play its that the staff would let him. It was a national story. Everyone knew smith was healthy.
Im sure you dont watch the Niners near as much as the Chiefs and Vice-Versa. For all the things you read about his play, he has done some great things as well. I think your gonna be surprised. He really is one tough SOB. He gets up time after time. I really rooting for the Cheifs fan base to change their mind about Alex. He has got the goods, just an entire career spent with no continuity. The NINER organization was just in shambles when he was drafted.
