That QBR suggests that Alex Smith is more than he is.

The last two years he has been nothing more than an efficient game manager.
But Milk, with your disdain of QB rating and Pro Bowls (not to mention wins, in the case of Smith), how are we (or anyone, for that matter) supposed to quantify a player's worth?

Look, I'm not defending Alex Smith. I wish that a better option would have been available. I see him, numbers-wise, as probably a top 15 guy in terms of yardage and TD's. I think he's capable of providing a 10-12 win season and a playoff win. But if you put the game on his shoulders, it's likely that he won't be able to deliver.

But in that regard, how is he any different than most QB's in the NFL? Peyton Manning is an All-Time Great and how many times in the playoffs has he been able to deliver the goods?
