If he is healthy and continues to have a better year than the previous as he has done each season then he will be the starter going into 2018. If he can be the starter for the entire 2018 season is the more plausible scenario we should be debating, we are better off handing the keys over to Mahomes while Smith can coach him. If Smith is playing below expectations in 2018 then he will defer the job as he did in San Fran without a fuss. That's the benefit of having a class-act as your QB. Harbaugh even said that having Smith mentor Kaep was the best thing for the kid's development. Gigabytes, bro.
