The argument isn't whether Smith is solid and if Dalton can be that. The argument is can a QB like that take you all the way? IMO, Alex Smith can't. Not unless it's a once in century season where you assemble a legendary defense and completely avoid injuries. I believe this was much more likely in a prior era. Not in today's era of QB's averaging over 30 passing attempts per game, very offense-friendly rules and in playoff expansion.
That is why people question Andy Dalton. And I'm a Dalton supporter and won't bash him, but it's not unfair to wonder if he can win a Super Bowl.
It's almost comparable to staying in a relationship with a girl you really, really like, but she isn't EVERYTHING you want. Certain personalities and mindsets won't settle for that, even if it means a lifetime of searching for the right girl (rebuilding forever). Others will stick with what is comfortable and ride it out until it's gone.
