I'm sure there are some comparable highlights of Alex Smith from college.

Boo ****ing hoo.
And just to let you know, I'm a big Alex Smith fan going back to his college days. He's pretty athletic, accurate and very smart. He protects the ball well in the passing game.
However, he has limited arm strength that doesn't allow him to take the top off the defense and throw the receiver open.
He's the same guy as Sam Bradford. That's it. And he's most likely maxed out, i.e., what you saw in 2012 from Alex Smith is as good as it's ever going to get.
Geno has the ability to rip off 45 yarders into double coverage and put it right into his receivers hands. He does it regularly. With pressure. Alex Smith cannot make those throws. He doesn't make those throws. He's a dink and dunk game manager. Period.
And he doesn't make many bad throws whatsoever. All of his passes from 2012 are on YouTube. Go watch the complete games from the entire season. Geno does as good a job protecting the ball in the passing game as I've ever seen anyone do at the college level.
