Kind of bored with running quarterbacks after years of people hyping Vick/Kaepernick/Manziel. Alex Smith needed to hop on that bandwagon a decade ago. Standing in the pocket like a Manningesque turret is the new hotness.

Edit: I want a star quarterback with no legs at all.

You're right. Alex Smith is only responsible for two of the ten best games of the decade, what a boob.

Oh right, I forgot about the game when everyone praised his performance and gunslinger throws because of how unusual it was compared to everything Alex Smith normally is, a game that he lost anyway because Andrew Luck proved to be more interesting

You can't call a QB exciting and fun because of two good games. That second game was interesting for the Colts comeback anyway, not really because of Smith. When I think of that game I think of the Chiefs choking and Luck's fumble TD

Smith unleashed the dragon, had a Wilson ex bullshit scramble throw, and underhand tossed to the TE in traffic for TDs in that game. He was a huge part of why that game was interesting and not a blowout the second Jamaal Charles was carted off the field. Smith is mobile and can make most of the throws he needs to, dude has plenty of highlights over the years that are fun and worth watching. He's not even particularly bland personality wise compared to the Elis, Flaccos, and Wilsons of the NFL.

Also, the NFL is absolutely defined by small sample size. The story of Eli Manning boils down to the helmet catch and that gorgeous sideline throw in his two Superbowl appearances. I don't feel like Alex Smith being a key component of only two of the best games the NFL ever played is a big mark against him.

it is when they are the only two times Alex Smith was exciting. I remember that Colts game well, everyone was freaking out because Holy poo poo Alex Smith was slinging the ball, that never happens! Flacco, Eli, and the rest of them have far more exciting games, both good and bad. Eli is never boring, he's always a star or a giant derpfest. If we were to assign offensive plays to players, Alex Smith would be a checkdown for 3 yards on 2nd and 10. Flacco, for all his boring personality, has even had his boring personality become part of why he's interesting and his fu-manchu stache is more exciting than anything from Alex Wonderbread Smith. No one talks about Alex Smith's personality, because Alex Smith is true boredom

I want an amputee quarterback on a post the offensive line carry down the field after every play.

Of course JJ Watt knocking a man with no legs off his post with tremendous force would probably scar the viewing audience for life.

When does his Alex Smith toxx expire? I want an essay on how much he hates him and how it's starting to bleed into his personal life.

Also yes, Alex Smith unleashed the dragon in the Colts game - for one half. Once the 2nd half came about he returned to his normal self. It seemed like an anomaly but he absolutely was a big reason that game wasn't a fanbase killing slaughter.

I have a feeling he carries conversations with his friends(?) the same way he talks to the media after the game. Going fishing with him for an afternoon would probably be exhausting.
