Alex Smith

Safe to say that Alex Smith has Hall of Fame character and demeanor, but he does not have HoF accomplishments.

That may have been different if he had not been shafted for the first 7 years of his career before getting a good HC (in Jim Harbaugh.)

It still took until he went to KC for him to get with the best OC/HC he ever had (in Andy Reid), but that was way late into his career.

He did well in KC all things considered, especially that last year.

Harbaugh saw the truth. Told him to pack his bags before he even spoke to Manning to lure him to SF. Alex was a bust. A really nice guy. But a bust nonetheless…
