Fooch's Note: Whether you agree with the comments or not, this is a solid FanPost.  Now that the season is over, I think it's useful to have one FanPost for discussing Alex Smith at this point.  I'll have posts on Smith as we start reviewing the 2009 season, but for now I thought I'd label this as the official FanPost for Alex Smith discussion (I added the "Official" label to the title.  Feel free to rec this to keep it up top.  If you create a new Alex Smith FanPost that doesn't include an incredible amount of detail and is a new take on the subject (highly unlikely at this point), I'll delete your FanPost and email you the contents for you to post it in this thread.  Any questions, email me at ninersnation@gmail.com.
