Milk has often stated stats are overrated, and I agree because all games are not played in a vacuum. There are so many variables that go into the end stats including performance or non performance of teammates.
One thing I think is Alex Smith has the ability to win some games, he is not going to carry the team except for maybe a game or 2 here and there in a season, but there are very few QB's who can, maybe 3 or 4 just carry an offense for a season. I would love to have one of those guys but its not been an option this off-season.
One of the biggest misnomers on CP is the belief there are around 15 franchise type QB's who can carry their team and its simply not true.
There are 4-5 elite and then the separation between #6 and around #15 is not that great.
From there out it takes a well balanced and equipped team.

The difference between a SB QB and a non SB QB is the confidence to take advantage of opportunities.
Joe Flacco is not elite, but that confidence is what separates him from Smith.
