I haven't compared Alex Smith to these guys. Again, I said the difference between these guys and Smith is they played largely game management, but made big plays in big situations. Smith hasn't proven he can do that, but he also hasn't proven he can't. Why couldn't he be a guy that has a knack for uninspiring play but comes up big in big games? If not for a complete goat performance by Kyle Williams, the 49ers could very well have been on their way to a 2011 Super Bowl. Mark Sanchez, who played pretty much Alex Smith football his first two seasons, was extremely close to getting there too.

And how old were these players in paragraph one when they accomplished said things? OK. (And Flacco won as a "game manager." lol.)
I don't want to hear it. That's standing in the basement, talking about Smith's ceiling, claiming that it's good enough.
I ****ing hate the acquisition of Alex Smith and everything that it represents for the price that the Chiefs paid.
