Alex Smith:
-I've been given the keys to the car, this is my time, my team, I've earned this, now I gotta get it done.
-This is the best year for me (in my career) so far, I have the entire first reps in camp all to myself, I feel good, Crabtree is my home-boy.
-Frank Gore and Vernon need more respect.
-Now it's time to get it done, get better everyday, and take advantage of the skill players we have.
-I'm glad to be here, be a 49er, and stick with the team up to this point.
He said a lot of what we'd expect, but he was exuding a LOT of confidence during the interview. There wasn't your typical "Alex Smith" moment (like in his previous interviews) where he paused for 3 seconds and went: "uhhhhh"; dude never missed a beat!
SUMMARY: What he MEANT...
Alex Smith:
-I SUCK
-I've ALWAYS sucked
-I can't believe they gave me another year
-I will be burned if effigy when 49er playoff hopes go up in smoke after Game 5
-It really doesn't matter cause I'll still get paid
