ANALYSIS/OPINION:
This is the guy. Their guy. Alex Smith.
He’s not Mike Shanahan’s guy. I’d say he’s not Scot McCloughan’s guy, but it was McCloughan who drafted Smith as the No. 1 pick in 2005 for San Francisco. But he’s not McCloughan’s guy here in Washington.
He’s all theirs — Dan Snyder, Bruce Allen, Doug Williams and Jay Gruden. They own the decision to trade for Smith.
Williams testified to that ownership Thursday at a press conference to introduce Smith, who officially became a Redskin the day before when the trade that sent cornerback Kendall Fuller and a third-round draft pick to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for the 33-year-old quarterback became official.
