If you are in denial you might want to go back and reread some of your posts.

I've been insulted more here than a bullied geeky kid in HS has in a year. I have a right to defend my objective Alex 'All I Do Is Win' Smith's posts.

Normally people that sit on a high horse claim they don't stoop to other people's level. Interesting justification.

In all walks of life, the ultra-successful all have one thing in common: They learned to become comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Yeah. There is no way Alex Smith doesn't get at least somewhat jealous of the notoriety that Mahomes is getting and early success in camp that he didn't have himself. Nor did he have a mentor to set him on the right path so for that Alex Smith had a real rough rookie campaign and I don't think he ever fully recovered from it. He really did suck his rookie year and it looks like Mahomes is going have a good shot even this year to take his job away if he doesn't play up to Coach Reid expectations and those expectations are to throw the deep ball.

Alex has to go beyond his comfort zone this year so I'm going watch and see if he starts to force things that last year he wouldn't pull the trigger and see if he can make it work or not.

Smith helped bring Kaepernick along, and he'll do the same with Mahomes. He's got a proven track record in this regard.

Alex has to know this is his last year here. He could have a fantastic year, lead us to the Super Bpwl and he will still be cut in the off season. There is no way getting around the $17million cap hit. Smith behaving like professional only helps his stock for the next team.

Its genuinely nice to hear they have a great work relationship, it can only help St Pat

For all of the Smitty hate, its well known that he has always been a consummate teammate... and for him to continue that with the guy destined to replace him yet again, tells me Alex is a great person

I applaud him for that

I agree, but it is probably pretty easy when you have about a 100 million in the bank.

This and rightfully so :)
