As I said, I am not fond of comparing Smith to Kaep, I am just tired of the same old criticisms for Alex Smith.
He's been in the league for 8 years and there are maybe a dozen clips of throws like this.

No. The only reason for me is that is too old . Good luck Alex.
too old???
Smith is only 30, hell he had at least 5-6 years left in him. Just look at how old Brady and Manning are for examples. In today's NFL with the emphasis being on QB/player safety they can play longer.
Come on, Sickness. That is great bit of quarterbacking. Great pocket awareness. Great footwork and mechanics. Great throw. Well... maybe i am throwing great around a little to loosely but pretty dang good display of all named attributes.
Your hate is showing.
I was never more depressed than when he was the Niners' QB and it was 3rd & 7. That means he'd have to throw it 7 yards to get a first down (or hope the RB can pick it up after he catches a 1-yard pass).
I was a big fan of his when he was with the Niners, and a team can definitely win with him as their QB, but he is not worth franchise QB money, IMO, because he's not a guy who makes you think that a team will want to keep him for the next 5-10 years and build a team around him. He's not a QB who you can rely on to make big plays and carry the team, so to speak. I see him as a game manager type. He doesn't make many mistakes, but he doesn't make many big plays either compared to other big time QB's. I think the Chiefs probably see him as a stop-gap until they can find their guy. Unfortunately for them, they don't have that guy yet and may need to overpay Smith.
There's not more than 5 guys who give you a better chance to win next year than Alex smith.
There's no one else though.
