49ers fans should root for Alex Smith

The Kansas City Chiefs wiped the floor with the Houston Texans on Saturday for their eleventh straight win by a score of 30-0.

This team is on a roll, and a big reason for that is Alex Smith. No, Alex Smith is not an “elite” quarterback like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady, but he is solid and he simply does not make mistakes.

Call him a game manager if you like, but the San Francisco 49ers could have sure used a game manager these past two seasons — and Alex Smith is a heck of a lot more effective than Blaine Gabbert.
