Okay, let's go with that. Alex Smith is a winner. He's won 99-168 games, has all respectable QB stats, and if not for a couple really weird circumstances, he'd have a few more playoff wins. If he has a really critical weakness to his game, it's his reluctance to air it out, right? He's too conservative many times.
But what if Tua is basically the same QB, but is willing to go downfield say . . . 25% more often? Basically you're talking about Joe Montana Lite. Except Tua will be able to run a little, like Alex could in his early years.
My point is just that it's too early to know exactly what they've got in Tua. Too early to just go after another QB anyway. He might not have some of the physical metrics, but if he's really as cerebral as everyone thought he was, then maybe the game he should be emulating is Alex Smith with a touch of Montana thrown in. That could work.
