No QB would have succeeded in SF from 2005-2010, that includes Rodgers. SF and that situation was that bad... 2 defensive rookie head coaches, 6 offensive coordinators in 6 years, bad blocking. Hell, Smith had 3 different shoulder surgeries during a 3 year span because the line kept getting him killed. If SF picked Rodgers, Tampa Bay and Gruden would have taken Smith at 10 and the league would be a lot different. That's why I'll always give Alex Smith a pass. He was set up to fail and still managed to come out of there with some success and a career story thats not finished being written yet.
