Alex Smith...

Will Alex Smith at least get the same amount of touchdowns as interceptions this year???

He looked pretty good against the Bears on Friday..

I think Alex Smith will take a step forward in his progress to become a legitimate NFL quarterback. That being said, I don't think he'll live up to his draft position.

I think when he got an unprecedented standing ovation from NFL scouts during his pre-draft workouts I decided if these guys who do this for a living thought he had that much skill, I'm willing to bet he pans out. May never be an elite QB, but I don't worry about him busting like I would with many other young QBs.

Well said. Talent at the WR and RB position will make lot's of QBs appear much better. When the talent catches up, he'll be a decent QB.

That's a tough call. Smith should make a lot of progress this season, but he will be asked to pass in a lot of desperate situations. That usually leads a QB to INTs. The 9ers are still a year away from being competitive enough to keep from putting Smith in poor passing situations.

I think he will be decent, but hes got a long road ahead of him.

Yeah, Smith did look good. Hopefully management wises up and hands over rushing duties to Gore, the RB of the future. Their man-crush on Barlow needs to end.

It's not like he's going to get drafted, so I don't care about him too much right now.

Antonio Bryant owners rejoice, he actually has some value now that we know Smith lives!

[Omaha Red Sox]

He will improve greatly, but I could see 13-15 TDs and 17-20 INTs this season. A mix between Favre and Brooks last year.

[Vixtor]

I say about 9 touchdowns and 24 INT's.

Ouch.
