The knock on Alex Smith is he isn't assertive enough. He's a guy the team respects, but he doesn't necessarily have a killer instinct.
And trust me, I'm one of the people that's ok with the Alex Smith trade as long as they end up with a franchise QB in the next 3 years, but unless something dramatic changes he should be viewed as a stopgap.

I always looked at this franchise as a project that will require several steps in order to get back in main competition. In fact, back in 2007 when I felt CP needed to be gone, I knew then it would take at least two GM hires and perhaps 3 coaching staffs hired/fired before this team could actually become a competitive team again.
I think they are there. Mostly because I believe in the talent and they have matured on the field. But I respect Reid. He has had a great coaching career. He's like Marv Levy -- two of the best to have never won a SB.
We'll see.
