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.”

Do you really enjoy watching a quarterback that is lucky to throw ONE touchdown a game and settle for field goals because our defense gives short fields for the offense after a Dustin Colquitt punt?
