The fact the 49ers did NOT take a QB at #7 and Harbaugh's continued support for Alex strongly suggests JH is serious about being able to coach him up on his flaws and make him the veteran the team needs.
I have been openly critical of the coaching staff for a long time. I believe there will be breakout years by 4-6 current players under the new staff, and those players include the possibility that Alex Smith will be one of them...along with VD, Delanie Walker, Crabtree and the OL.
