And saying someone looks like Brady before they've played in a playoff game is kinda silly.

No, what makes Brady 'look like Brady' is how he performs in key moments and his body of work over a decade.
Because in a vacuum, Alex Smith 'looks like Brady' on a lot of plays and over the course of a lot of games. Right until he doesn't and you lose another playoff game that you had no business losing.
Ultimately the Rams and Seahawks can both eat my ass so I'm fine with the 49ers having a quarterback that shits on their parade. I simply think its lunacy that they paid that dude like one of the best QBs in football on the strength of 1/3 of a season worth of largely checkdown passing.

At that point, all he had to do was give the appearance of being a franchise Qb and they were ****ed.
He's good in the pocket and processes quick. I like that. Like you say here, Shannahan is a good dude with QBs so we shall see.
