Alex Smith was never going to be a Hall of Famer, but when Harbaugh came in it was clear how badly the previous coaches had done with him.

Sure, a lot of it's hindsight, but the entire Niner organization screwed the pooch on that one.

Alex Smith was the epitome of mediocre, serviceable, underwhelming first pick overall QB. Somehow he retires a fan favorite and CBS calls him "one of the most accomplished top draft picks ever"

eh - as a first round pick, he was solid, as #1, yeah the comparison to Rodgers it looks silly. But I'd argue his stats alone don't do him justice.

Gotta think that's entirely bc he came back from that brutal Theisman-type injury.

Take that out of the equation, he definitely had a solid, but pedestrian career.
