He's not wrong in his criticism, Smith's early years were fairly average until he blossomed when the 49ers went 13-3. I think we can all agree Smith is not HOF-bound, but I would garner there is legit buzz about renaming the CPOTY award after him (probably after he retires if I had to guess).
Rice is just an asshole because that's one of those things where it's better to just keep your mouth shut. No need to blame Alex Smith either when the entire organization was dysfunctional in those days before Jim Harbaugh arrived.
Also I'm curious, would you not want Jerry Rice on your team because he liked to talk? There aren't many receivers I'd tolerate for their mouth and self-centered attitude, but Rice is the exception.
