I'm in. I was actually excited when I heard about the Smith trade(although I agree they gave up too much). I'm not sold on Geno or any other QB as a #1 pick. With the our defense & running game, we don't really need anything more than a game manager for a QB, and while people say that's what we had with Cassel...the difference is Alex is a GOOD game manager that doesn't turn the ball over much, and can actually complete a mid range pass from time to time. Alex can keep the turnovers down and keep the offense on the field. That's really all the difference the team needs. The fact that they've brought in some good FA's is just sprinkles on top. I know Alex isn't the exciting choice that everyone wants, but I have faith that he can continue playing at the same level as he has for the past 2 seasons, and will bring the team back into the playoffs.
