Alex Smith is a good guy, but he was never an NFL caliber quarterback. But that injury was brutal, and I admire the way he came back.

Alex Smith was not worthy of being the first pick in the draft, which is where the 49ers took him. That said, he was certainly an NFL caliber QB, and at his peak was better than many of the guys who will start in the NFL next year.
