I am a firm believer that certain qbs can overcome certain things. But, if you have as much dysfunction as a team like the Jets has, the Lions had for years under Millen, the 49ers had from 2003-2010, that it is almost impossible for a team to succeed, much less a qb that has way too much required of him, and doesn't have the coaching, or front office that is equipped to build around the qb.
There is Civil War going on in New York right now. Geno Smith who I believe is talented, is being looked at as a savior, that was drafted aboard the Titantic that had already hit the iceberg and was taking on water.

Geno has it worse than Alex did. While Alex did join a dysfunctional team (which top pick doesn't)...he still had some decent pieces. He's had Frank Gore his entire career. He had Vernon Davis for the majority of his career. He also had good coaching in McCarthy, Norv, Martz for the first 4 years of his career. It all went to shit when Singletary arrived but I'd much rather be in Alex's shoes than Geno's.
