But anyhow, at the time Alex Smith was probably the more likely option to just be released. And Young was probably a trade. Now it appears that Harbaugh may actually be genuine about bringing Smith back, while Young is halfway here (at no trade cost to us) |
Actually in looking at it again Alex Smith over Vince Young, assuming he was even available would be a big mistake. Maybe not LMFAO but certainly LMAO.
For starters the accuracy of both is a push with a slight edge to Young. Both guys seem to be barely 60% throwers. Smith is mobile but Young is probably only behind Vick and Newton when it comes to mobility. Young's arm is elite while Smith has more of a "well he can make all the throws" type arm.
Smith has the edge in book smarts (40 on the Wonderlic) but it doesn't seemed to have helped him much in the NFL. Both QB's have vented in the media about being benched but Young's benching was worse prompting him to take a leave of absence.
