But Alex Smith is fine. He is one of the toughest qbs I have ever seen and I have always said that. He would stand in the pocket and deliver the ball downfield knowing he was going to get wrecked.

He should have played in a Super Bowl. Idiot Harbaugh and Kyle Williams fumbled that golden opportunity away against the Giants in the NFC Championship. That was one of Smith's best games.

My final verdict on his career is he was a really solid NFL QB. The kind of qb you would expect to keep you in games until the end. A tough guy. Not particularly gifted with arm talent. For old guys like me, he was Billy Killmer
