Do you guys think Alex Smith is a good quarterback?

I don't want another "game manager".   That's all we ever have in Kansas City.  In my lifetime (born in 82') we have only had 2 quarterbacks that could actually go out and win games (and both were in their late 30's by the time they got here).   We had Joe Montana in 1993 and 94, and we had Trent Green from 03-05.   Those are the only years we actually had a quarterback that could throw the ball all over the field and win some games.

The rest of the time we've always had these "game managers".  Dinking and dunking their way down the field.  FUCK THAT.  I don't want another "dinking and dunking" quarterback to throw out patterns and hitches to the backs.

Is Alex Smith a "game manager" or is he the real deal?  Can he actually go out and win a few games with his arm?

Game manager.  The main time Alex Smith was good was when Norv Turnover was his OC.  And when frisco had a weak schedule in 2011.  But of course, the run game & the defense mostly won their games.  Rich Gannon was also good for KC.  Too bad Rottenheimer & the very overrated GM Carl Peterson didn't see that. 

Hack Wilson - real:
yes

I LOVE Marty Shottenhiemer.  He's my all time favorite coach after Phil Jackson.  We went 8-0 at home nearly every year when Marty was here, and we never lost to the Raiders whether at home or away.   Every year he'd patch up the team with several veteran guys at the end of their career and make another run at it.  Your right about Gannon though.  That was Shottenhiemers fatal mistake, he believed "you don't lose your job because of injury" and he let Elvis Grbac start in the playoffs after Gannon had won a string of games to earn us homefield throughout the playoffs.

That's tough to say. He really never played a good season until that first with Harbaugh. He was putting up very efficient numbers when Kaep came in and took his job, so it's hard to get a sure-fire read on him, since the 49ers put a pretty stacked team around him. From what I gather he's at least very accurate, and I remember him making some huge plays against the Saints in that NFC playoff game a few seasons ago. I think it's safe to say that he's an upgrade over Cassell because of his accuracy and athleticism but I just don't know how much better.
