I don't think this is a Grbac/Gannon situation, because Alex has virtually no chance of being on the roster next year.
I think the team knows the situation exactly:
1. Alex isn't being benched.
2. Alex isn't going to be here next season.
And it shows in their play. They know the situation is mostly hopeless at this juncture barring a complete reversal of a 33-year old game manager's career trend.
No one in that locker room is lobbying for Pat, because they know this is Alex Smith's team, no matter what happens.
And that is depressing, and it is clearly affecting their play.
They are just playing out the string.
