Alex Smith
Sure, Alex Smith had his job stolen by Kaepernick but he may want to send him a gift basket now. Smith has managed to turn the label “game manager” from an insult into a moderate backhanded compliment. With an 89.1 passer rating and a touchdown to interception ratio of 23 to 7, Smith is smart, dependable and he won’t take unnecessary risks. In today’s NFL, that’s sadly rare. Smith is in the final year of his deal with the Chiefs and has a base salary of $7.5 million. He’s positioned to get a raise soon.
