Alex Smith has had Reid's support all week but his performance against the Jets also will determine how short his leash gets with rookie Patrick Mahomes in waiting, the sources also say.

He's ballin today.
I can't see why we would want him.
Considering that he's 2nd in the league in passer rating, just behind Brady and ahead of Brees and Rodgers, with 23 TDs vs. 4 INTs, and the 5th highest yards per attempt in the league (8.1)... i think the Cardinals could do a lot worse. He's also relatively mobile and at 33 he could have 5 good years in him.
In his 5 years with the Chiefs his passer rating is 94.8, so this year hardly seems like a fluke, especially considering that this is the first time in a long time (ever?) that he's had a WR who could stretch the field in Tyreek Hill. Prior to this year his best targets were usually TEs and RBs.

I don't like Smith, but depending on how our coaching situation pans out, I prefer him slightly to Gabbert & Palmer as we enter what's likely to be a rebuilding/retooling season.
He can do just enough if this team gets a healthy DJ back and improves the line and defense. Ultimately, I'm hoping we draft a QB in the first round, but I am really pessimistic that we'll have a shot at doing so.

I would definitely take Smith if we were to move on from Palmer next year.

If we'd be interested in A Smith, why wouldn't we be even more interested in Eli Manning?
(Odds of signing either one not real likely).

One is three years younger and therefore can be signed to a multi-year contract?
Eli, like Palmer, is on his last leg, and only has a place in a team built to compete for a Super Bowl right now (not that I think he's going to be the missing piece to any team, I think he's toast).
He has played a lot of years and has proved he can't get a team over the top. I don't want a 33 year old QB that has proven he's not special in anyway with IMO junk stats because he's not asked to win and fails to when he tries.

I would t have a problem with that. But still need to draft a top replacement in this coming draft. Heck, I wouldn't mind having Josh back for a year to groom our young franchise qb.
