If the reason Alex Smith didnt sign an extension this offseason was because he is asking for an unreasonable amount (Jay Cutler, Stafford, Ryan, Romo money) then the answer is probably yes.
Like someone else pointed out, having a guy like Geno at less than a million per year is a big difference than the better (in the short term) player that's 30 at over 17 million per year.
I still say that trading for Alex and then drafting a QB like Geno would have been smart, but I'm willing to see how it all plays out.
Geno played some damn good ball in the final month, winning 3 of his last 4 games and being second in the league in total QBR during that stretch. That was on an absolutely terrible NY team, too.
Many here would view the kid differently if he has won the tie breakers for the final playoff spot in the AFC.
