Alex Smith vs. Rich Gannon

[FringeNC]

My view is that Andy Reid has no use for "game manager" QBs. What skills did Rich Gannon have that Alex Smith does not? Rich Gannon passed for about 4500 yards one year a Reid-like offense. Why can't Alex Smith do the same? Not saying he will, but help me understand why it's not going to happen.

Like I said, he's not even the backup yet, furthermore he isn't very mobile.

He's the best on the roster. Deal with it.

Right you know Alex Smith is #1, the other QBs on the roster aren't even starting material
the backup is Chase freaking Daniels

Tyler

more than three letters
two syllables
doesn't end in "n"

All signs point to no.

delusional. And even if not, not enough talent.

This thread is funny. Rehashing all other threads. My point is that if Smith turns out to be real good he'll play like Gannon. I do think Reid is competent, and I do think Smith has physical tools on par or greater than Gannon...

It seems many on this thread are arguing that a cerebral weak-armed QB can't possibly throw for 4,000 yards in a WCO....yet.....

He might even be Reid's trade bait in a few years (see Kolb) if he even sticks around, first he needs to become the backup and surpass Daniels.

Who gives a shit what the trend is.

When Mobile QBs start WINNING SBs over pocket passers

Have you seen Smith throw this pre season.
His arm is FAR from weak.

I would say the closest is big ben and he's not really mobile, but good point.
