I don't remember much of Alex at Utah outside of them going undefeated and running the spread before it became super popular.

I watched Alex a ton in college.
He's not the prospect Geno is at the same stage. Geno has a better arm, better ball placement on deep throws, better size, better pocket awareness, better timing.
Alex Smith was a legit first rounder with very good accuracy, very smart, exceptionally hard worker, good athleticism and good footwork. He just doesn't have the arm and subsequent accuracy on his deep balls to throw open receivers and take the top of the defense. He was worth a second round pick to get this team respectable sooner rather than later, but he's doesn't/didn't have the tools Geno does at the same stage.
