Some of the top QBs to have played the game, including Bartt Starr and Troy Aikman, and Lenny Dawson were game managers.
Those guys, however, were franchise QBs.
Alex Smith is just mediocre, albeit efficient.

ya, the game has always been in the full offensive control of coaches. Paul Brown & Sid Gilman are part of the discussion for obvious reasons.. I chose to mention Walsh because his system is closely related to Reid's via Mike Holmgren. Reid got the Philly job after helping shape the offensive system at GB.
The thing about Smith is that he can throw on the run pretty good.
