This was closer than people think happened you see in 2005 Alex Smith was gonna be involved in a Eli Manning draft day trade where he was gonna get drafted number 1 by the 49ers but later on he was gonna be traded to either the Buccaneers or Browns for their 1st round picks in Braylon Edwards or Carnell “Cadillac” Williams.
That said the Buccaneers were more likely to pull off something like this. What if that Alex Smith really happened to Alex Smith in 05?
How would that change a team who had won a Super Bowl a few years before and still had a elite defense despite no John Lynch or Warren Sapp and still made it to the playoffs OTL in 2005 do with Alex Smith as the franchise signal caller? And what about the 49ers with Williams?
