San Francisco 49ers’ Alex Smith: To Bust, or Not to Bust?

That is always the question.

I am not going to sit here and shell out Nostradamus predictions. Rather, I will give reasons why I believe that Alex Smith is not only going to have a breakout year but that he will eventually wind up close to being a top 10 quarterback in the National Football League.

The main thing that so-called "Alex haters" always claim is that Alex Smith is a bad decision-maker. It rarely has to do with mechanics (although he needs work there, too) as much as it has to do with him being a bit short on the instinctive side of things.

However, there is context to be considered here. A lot of context.
