No, I am just not a Special person and understand that Alex Smith is a good quarterback. Because, and follow me on this, believe it or not quarterbacks can improve past their early years' performance level. There is also something to be said about a quarterback simply not being suited for certain offenses either.
Alex Smith is the #1 name that gets thrown around as if its supposed to be some example of what you don't want a quarterback to be. Well that is a load of shit. If you want to talk about his departure from San Fran go ahead. He stunk it up there. He has redeemed himself multiple times over since then.
BTW you're talking out of both ends. On the one hand you say "Alex Smith is a good quarterback, he's been in the league for a long time." and on the other hand you say "You don't know what I'm remembering about Alex Smith's career, lmao. When Trubisky was drafted were you like, 'Oh boy, hopefully this kid ends up like how Alex Smith was in his 12th year!'" If Trubisky turned out to be current day Alex Smith I wouldn't be disappointed because that would still mean he is the best quarterback we will have ever had. Don't mistake that with me not hoping for more than that. Because the reality is that Mitch is more athletic and he is being developed from the get go to have that killer instinct in him that took Alex way too long to develop.
