You have not watched Alex Smith lately, have you? He's become a competent game manager, but he's not striking fear into anyone's heart. He doesn't need to. Ask the Saints. He's not a QB who can take over a game. That's fine if the defense and Gore care clicking, but if they aren't and a good defense focuses on him and the passing game, it'll be an issue. Like I said, he's a competent game manager on a team with a good running game and great defense. http://espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=320114025
