Potential Aaron Rodgers SB Victory = Alex Smith Reputation Death Knell?

classyfan49 · 2011-01-28T21:10:17-08:00

Because the 2005 draft will forever link their careers, an Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl victory would render it nearly impossible for Alex Smith to ever be viewed as anything but a bust. Just as the 1998 draft forever linked Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf, Alex would need a serious career makeover to avoid being mentioned in the same breath as Leaf. Playing competently and consistently wouldn't be enough. He'd have to win the whole enchilada.

Alex does't have anything to do with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers success or failure. It's not his fault he was picked where he was picked. His career is seperate and independent from anybody else. And I don't see any Leaf comparison. At least Alex is the first one in and the last one to leave. And he studies film all day long. He practices hard. He's a good teamate. He's a good citizen. He's just not as good as you would hope. But he's not in he Leaf or Jamarcus category by far.
