"Alex Smith makes your defense better"

Using the word "smoked" is wrong. Alex Smith almost never gets smoked. The team usually hangs within a touchdown. As I've said before, this approach would work fine if Alex Smith knew how to close games. He doesn't. We rarely get blown out. We have lost way too many games in the final minutes on a drive where Alex Smith could have gone for the tie or the lead.

What was that Andrew Luck did to him in the playoffs two years ago? That's the definition of smoked. Alex couldn't generate a touchdown when he needed to and Luck was slinging the football at will, no matter if it was an interception or a touchdown, he kept throwing all over and scoring quick and Alex wasn't generating anything quick enough to counter.

The gunslinger beats him more times than not, it's because Alex lacks a big arm.
