It'd be fun if he did well here but I'm not banking on it. I think that the people anticipating 11-5 to 13-3 seasons or deep playoff runs with Alex Smith are in for a surprise.

Additionally, the compensation given up was ridiculous unless Alex turns into a long-term starter or serves as an integral teaching/mentoring component to our QBOTF.

I don't really go into it with a win/loss number in mind I pretty much take it one game at a time. When it get's here 1-0 would be great. And I think a 2nd round pick for a starting QB isn't so ridiculous. That's just me though. It's a starting QB.
