Compared to:

Sanchez 6.6
Rodgers 6.1
Schaub 5.1
Brady 4.8
Palmer 4.8
Rivers 4.8
Eli 4.4
Brees 3.4
Under 5 seems to be a good benchmark. 8.5 in a dink and dunk offense  |
I think a good way to describe Alex Smith is average.
HOWEVER
When Clay spews all his garbage around about PFF and how GOSPEL PFF is...I just want to know how Alex Smith is SO ****ING BAD when THE BIBLE OF JUDGING A PLAYER ON STATISTICS that is PFF.COM had him as the #8 QB in '11 and on pace to be the #11 QB in '12?
APPARENTLY THE SACKS HE TAKES DON'T REALLY AFFECT THAT PFF RATING.
So I suppose it can't really hurt his team all that much.
