We traded two second-rounders for Alex Smith and an excuse to be named later, and it's the latter that really makes me feel good about the deal. It's our Wade Davies, one might say.

I know he's the statistical twin of Matt Cassel, but Alex Smith is far more similar to Matt Ryan.

No matter the reasons, he's been in the league seven years and started all sixteen games in a season twice.

Curse me if you'd like but I don't think Matt Ryan is elite. I just don't see it. |

Green gets credit for all that offense's accomplishments, but Smith can't get credit for his high level of play the last two seasons because his team was so formidable on the ground as to make those numbers meaningless? And Smith similarly can't get credit for his team being two special teams gaffes away from the Super Bowl, because he had so much talent around him? Green was not any more capable of a downfield passer than Smith is. They're cut from the same cloth. |

Smith is no Tom Brady. But treating him like trash just because he does not reach that benchmark that almost nobody reaches is asanine.

But there's simply no looking at Alex Smith's career numbers and coming to any other conclusion than he's mediocre. Now, we're asking him to "develop" at 29-years-old, when he should be in his absolute prime. We know what he is, an average QB who is not good enough to win a SB with. However, if we'd paid his true value to use him as a stop gap, meanwhile continuing to turn over stones for a real franchise QB, I would have applauded the move. |

I agree Ryan isn't Rodgers/Brady/Brees elite but I think a team could win a sb with him without it being a Dilfer scenario. I would love to have him on the chiefs.
