Yes, but at the time he was traded for he wasn’t the player he is now, even got beat out by Kapernick.
If I remember there were a bunch of ???? About Smith when Dorsey made that trade. Was even being considered as a potential bust. Correct me if I’m remembering wrong.
I disagree. He was beat out by Kaep. But Harbaugh was very high on Kaep. Smith was a better QB than Tyrod. And Smith is in the league now, and Kaep isn't. Harbaugh is a funny guy that way though. I can go out and push the stats on you, or you can look them up yourself.
His big playoff season with the 49ers, he took the Giants to the edge in the NFC championship. The same Giants that won the Super Bowl vs the Pats.
We traded a 3rd round pick for Tyrod. The Chiefs traded a 2nd round pick for Alex Smith (and I was frustrated we didn't make a good offer for him at the time myself).
Just watching the two, Alex Smith, when he went to the Chiefs, was a superior player to Tyrod Taylor. There's a reason the Bills have wanted to drop Tyrod for awhile now.
Doesn't mean Tyrod isn't better than anything we have had in awhile though. Don't get me wrong, I like Tyrod Taylor. But let's not set up unrealistic expectations for the guy.
