I think his ceiling is Philip Rivers.
Right now, he's between Marc Bulger and Marc Bulger.

Alex Smith will create his own ceiling.

I don't see the Superman option.

Something just seems different about him now. Maybe it's because he doesn't look like a teenager anymore.

To his physical potential he can be Philip Rivers and Jeff Garcia, to his mental potential he can be Matt Hassleback. Put those two together and you get a solid franchise QB for the next couple of years. -But I agree with the above statement, Alex will create his own ceiling.

How can anyone find a ceiling for Alex on one half of a game ?????? 
And will the coaches adjust the offense to best suit Smith's talent , we don't even know that yet.

This is funny. The webzone need not make this QB out to be the second coming like it did for JTO and Hill.
