I&#x27;m sure he wants to play more than anything and in his own head he is better than Kap. I&#x27;m sure he understands why he isn&#x27;t starting though.All he can do is move on after the year and prove himself. Plenty of teams will be interested in him.

I think he can be happy because hopefully he is smart enough to realize they wouldn't be in the SuperBowl if he were starting.

Kap is obviously a better runner, but he is also a better passer. I don't really think Smith would have had 496 yards passing in two games vs GB and ATL.

He'll find another job somewhere else next year.

Alex Smith is 100-1 to win Superbowl MVP.  If he comes off the bench and leads a game winning drive then this could be possible..

Could be the best backup QB in Super Bowl history that did not play!

mumucover · Answer

Anyone who watches individual Kap throws knows there are a ton of throws he can make that AS has never shown the ability to. The 15 yard out in front of a defender is a big reason AS went 1 for 14 on 3rd downs against the Giants last year. That is a huge 3rd down and 7-10 route that requires a zip on it that AS just doesnt have have and Kap has a rocket arm. Forget the fact that AS cant run for 180 yards in a playoff game, not many QB in history can let alone AS...that is just a bonus to the improement in arm strength over AS. And sure he only ran for 21 against ATL....on TWO carries. The running game was on all cylinders, there was no need for him to run. But when he did they were for very important 1st downs. Just knowing that option is there changes the game. After that it doesnt matter if its Kap, Gore, or James that gets the actual yards.

Serious here... If I could get Alex Smith at 200 - 1 to be Super Bowl MVP... that&#x27;s a bet! (100 - 1 = no bet)

budwiser · Answer

i&#x27;d be happy making millions as a backup qb in the nfl.

iamnotpeterose · Answer

Alex smith the last 2 years = mark Sanchez his first 2 years

Give a qb a great line, d, and running game and ask them to manage the game and they look a whole lot better. Both looked like crap without these factors and good with these factors.

laythehammer · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;No, not on crack.  Just think that he is smart enough to realize that they wouldn&#x27;t be there with him starting.  It&#x27;s one thing to be driven to start, which I agree all NFL players should aspire to do.  But, let&#x27;s be realistic and honest with yourself.&#xD;&#xA;Now if the question were "Should Alex Smith stay as the backup to SF next year", I would agree with you saying I was on crack if I said he should accept that.  He, as all NFL players, should want to start.  After all, if Mark freaking Sanchez can start, then anyone can start (although Sanchez&#x27; weapons were absolutely horrible).&#xD;&#xA;Good luck to you.

ya know, i&#x27;m not trying to pile on Alex Smith... but him being pissed off is unwarranted and its bullshit... if he&#x27;s pissed off, he needs to retire from this game...bottom friggin line:  he was a #1 draft pick and took 4 years just to become SERVICEABLE... if he didn&#x27;t want to lose his job (to a guy who was great in his first start ever, and has just BLOWN Alex Smith off the field)... then he shouldn&#x27;t have taken so long to stop sucking!yea, he finally had a year where he was solid, and got his team to the NFC championship game... but him being solid was more a result of Harbaugh (the best QB coach alive today) learning how to utilize Smith&#x27;s strengths, and more importantly, minimizing his liabilities...Smith can go cry to his mom, but i have no sympathy for a #1 draft pick QB who takes THAT LONG to get his garbage together...Alex Smith... you&#x27;re a backup QB in this league... you better friggin get used to it, because the NFL just this year added 6 guys who are ALL BETTER THAN YOU AT THAT POSITION... and you were already just BARELY holding onto a starting job...Alex Smith is not a starter!  get over it!
