Alex Smith Future HOVG or Hall Of Feel Good Story?

[Brian wolf]

Good question 74_75_78_79 but look at these guys that replaced Smith and Deberg ... Elway and Mahomes have generationally superior talent, while Montana and Young were the top rated QBs ever, during their prime ... Kaepernick had great talent as well but played on a small college team and scouts also thought he may play pro baseball, so like you said ... Smith and Deberg were victims of circumstance. Though Mahomes was drafted, Smith had his best statistical season but had another heartbreaking, Arrowhead Stadium playoff loss to the Titans, that convinced Reid to make the switch.
Though Mahomes has finally won multiple championships, he too has faced agonizing losses in Arrowhead in postseason against Brady and NE in 2018/19 and the Bengals with Burrow in 2021/22.
