I'm by no means the biggest Alex Smith fan in the world. I like him, think he is a top 12-15 QB in the league with all things considered. However, you're telling me you'd rather have Matt Cassell or Nick Foles or Jay Cutler at quarterback?I agree with this take. I also don't think Alex Smith gets them as close as they were to a SB. And if things fall just a little different...While there is no doubt in my mind that Alex Smith is currently a better QB than Colin Kaepernick....no problem admitting that.
However, I still wholeheartedly believe the switch was the correct move, and I don't for one second want Alex Smith back. I know he is having some success with KC, but I have no desire to want ANY quarterback who cannot put his team on his back and win games for them. In all honesty, I would rather have no quarterbacks at all, than a QB like Alex Smith. Being stuck in mediocrity is far worse than not having a QB. Alex is just good enough to trick feeble minded front offices that he is good enough to not search for a new QB.
I love KC's defense. WIth that defense and a better QB, they would be able to challenge for a SB spot in that weak *** AFC. But with Alex, I cant imagine they go very far. I don't want my team to be held back by QB play. Sans 2012 and 2013, I have been reading that book since Jeff Garcia was my team's QB.
Also, look at Alex Smith's numbers in the playoffs and let me know if he is the reason his teams lost in the playoffs.
