As Alex did for four seasons.
Overpaid, period. |
Alex Smith was always the 12th-20th highest paid starter in the league while in KC. He got paid what he was worth. That is an objective comparison. Comparing his salary to a 3rd string quarterback a decade ago is not a fairy comparison at all. Seriously, Tom Brady signed a 6 year $60 million contract in 2005 that made him the highest paid player in the league. So you can't even objectively compare Smith's salary to starters in 2006, much less to 3rd stringers. As usual, your post is full of fail.
