alex bowl bring brought chosen city fulfill illusions pro san short smith super tremendous won
Alex Smith is under no illusions as to why he was chosen where he was. It's not for him to go out there and make the Pro Bowl.

I've never been a fan of this 'manage the game' stuff. It doesn't make sense to pay guys to make plays, then tell them to go out and not make mistakes. If that's truly your goal, why would you ever have your quarterback drop back and throw a pass?

From the time I first saw him play, up until even now, he still plays with that same enthusiasm and excitement. You can tell he just loves the competition and he's not concerned with the consequences. It's like he's still out there in the yard playing with his friends.

I don't agree with this call. I don't agree with this call and only because there's still time on the clock. And with Washington with two timeouts, they still have time to move the football down for a field goal. ... Boy, this is risky.

I'd be surprised if one quarterback in the league could compute his own rating. Peyton Manning is as cerebral as it gets, and I don't think he'd have a first clue.
