Does Alex Smith deserve a extension after this season?

But how long and how much are what make it either brilliant or insanely stupid.

Of course, if Alex Smith is willing to sign a team friendly deal that makes him releasable in a couple of years. Most players wouldn't do that.

So far Alex Smith has exceeded my expectation but i still say wait.

If he comes back next season and does the same thing? 200 yards with 1-2 TD and no interceptions?

Then what happens?

If we extend him early, the odds of having a salary that could reasonably be carried for a backup go up.

That's the sweet spot - enough money to keep him around, but low enough to where it becomes cost-prohibitive to keep him as a backup to our first round QB.

Alex Smith has proven time and again he is team first.
