Alex Smith hasn't "led" anything. His primary role has been to not turn the ball over and stay out of the way of the strong defenses/running games that have led to his teams' successes. That is the classic definition of a game manager QB... not a "franchise QB". Do you think that Trent Dilfer "led" the 2001 Ravens to their Super Bowl winning season? Do you think that Jim McMahon "led" the 1986 Bears to their Super Bowl winning season? You continue to humiliate yourself with your "Alex Smith is a franchise QB" narrative. |

He will play both ways. He will play good when he doesn't have to and then play bad when we need him to preform or after a pass rusher gives him a cross look.

Matt Ryan-league MVP, leads elite offense consistently Cam Newton-league MVP, has lead elite offense multiple times Matt Stanford-lead a shit team to the playoffs with and without Megatron. Set NFL record for most 4th quarter comeback wins in a season. Andrew Luck-carried a horrible team to the playoffs every yr until he got hurt. Phillip Rivers-Chargers would be a 3 win team without him the last 5 years. I've got 6 franchise guys with Derek Carr, Marcus Marriotta and Jamie's Winston on the cusp of reaching that label. After that I'd put Alex with guys like Dalton, Cousins, Palmer and Bradford in the middle. People always throw out what the W/L is but some of these guys were on bad teams with bad GM's and coaches. |

Generally NFL teams do not trade up 17 spots in the first round of the NFL Draft (and give up a first round draft pick in the following year's NFL Draft in the process) to draft a QB if they have a 33 year old (i.e. prime of his career) "franchise QB" on their roster.
So obviously Andy Reid and John Dorsey do NOT agree with DaneMcFatAss's "Alex Smith is a franchise QB" narrative. |

It's a team game. And your fear for the future is just that. It's not knowledge. It's not evidence. It's not proof. It's anxiety. Every play is a new play. |

It's a Double Standard. The Chiefs PASSED on Brees and gave up the #12 pick overall for him. The compensation for Smith pales in comparison. |

And while I can assure you that my weight and health are in good standing (34" waist), I have to say, your continued forwardness is a little awkward. |

A move needed to be made. I advocated this move for Mahomes back on January 3rd. Try to keep up, Mr. Two College degrees. If that's really true (and I'd bet $100k it's not) you're the poster child for the "U". Dumb as ****. |

I don't necessarily disagree with your list but the difference between Wilson and Smith is infintessimal. The Seattle defense, led by Richard Sherman, seems to hate him and the offense. Good ol' WCO. |
