We can't compete with the Ravens, Steelers, Bengals, Colts and maybe even the money the Dolphins spent and their young QB on a WC spot.
That's asking Alex Smith to compete against Flacco, Big Ben, Andrew Luck and Tannehill for a chance at 10-6. With 1 of those 3 teams locking up a division and Houston and NE locking up the other two.
Alex Smith cant hang with ANY of those QBs.

You sure are assuming a lot. I guess you think that without Welker, without gronk, without the murderer, that the Patriots aren't going to struggle. YOu are assuming that the Dolphins are going to be better because they added, MIKE WALLACE?
The steelers, and Ravens are FAR WORSE than they were a year ago. Also, the steelers are just flat out OLD. Yes, its true, you probably will have to fight for a wildcard with the colts/Texans runner up, but look at the division you play in. Its AWFUL. There is no competition for second place. And to think that you cant split with the bronocs, that just crazy.
A lot of your assumptions are based off of reputation, but not really off of reality. Especially with Baltimore. You don't lose everything they lost, Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Paul Kruger, Ellerbe, and Anquan Boldin, and not take a step back.
