One is a straight line of meh, the other is a roller coaster that averages out to meh.
If I had either QB I wouldn't be asking for the other because in the end it won't really make a difference. One doesn't do a lot and the other does a lot on both spectrums.
Smith's first 4 seasons weren't "meh", they were below "meh". Not trying to create a "switch" but an observation about how Smith eventually became a QB a playoff caliber team was able to rely on. And it took more than 4 years for him to get in a good enough flow for the new coaching staff to stick with him in SF and maintain a starting position for another playoff-capable team as well. And obviously offensive strategies which don't expect him to be a Rodgers or Brees or manning. Could be a similar case with Dalton.
