Who cares if he would started in SF, Matt wouldn't have done anything better then he's doing here so far.
The relevance is you think he's a bust in part because he couldn't win the job in Arizona by year 3. The point is if he were in SF he would have already had the job handed to him, like Smith did. Smith didn't win the job he was given it, played like crap, and then finally had the job taken from him.
Because the Cards have a better QB situation they were able to avoid just throwing Matt to the wolves, but it's also MUCH tougher on Matt to win the job because he has actual competition, Smith didn't.
And Sf isn't the only place like that just look at the Raiders, would Jamarcus Russell start ahead of Kurt Warner?
