I think Reid recognizes that Alex Smith is getting older and he is preparing for that. Alex relies on running more so than most QBs so we don't know when he will start to decline and it could happen rapidly. So IMO that QB pick was more about that than anything and also the fact Reid loves QBs and Hunt had to be hearing the echos of fans wanting us to draft a QB,
Reid believes we can win with Alex. He has made that very clear numerous times.
“We have complete confidence in Alex Smith, we love Alex Smith here, and we love the things that he’s done and will continue to do for us,” Reid said. “That’s not an issue. The only issue is that we’re all getting a little older. Unfortunately this happens in life, and Alex is getting up there at 32, and you’ve got to start thinking of — not that it’s happening right now — but you’ve got to think a little bit about the future there. Particularly at that position, you have to do that.”

The team did great to turn things around yes that defense and special teams have become something special to brag about but we can't brag about this unimposing offense we just can't with Alex Smith. I don't even give shits about the turn around I give shits that we are not winning in the playoffs with an extended Carl Peterson esk quarterback. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the retreads that don't lift this team above it's shoulders. Trent Green was our best shot but give credit to Dick Vermeil for that offense but falter the defense for not showing up.
Alex Smith has his job this year to buy time for Patrick Mahomes II to get himself ready it's going happen sooner or later it's going to happen and next year Alex Smith will be an after thought and we wont' be enjoying a Super Bowl or a Lamar Hunt trophy with him.
If this offense looked good and it became a scoring machine with Alex Smith then he wouldn't be holding this team back like he does.
