10 Questions with Alex Smith

The NFL Draft was this past weekend and the San Francisco 49ers selected quarterback Alex Smith of Utah.  We had a chance to sit with Smith and talk about the pressure related to going to a storied franchise with a history of spectacular quarterbacks


Alex Smith

JW: Alex, congratulations on being the NFL's #1 pick.  How do you respond to accusations that you are the best player in a mediocre draft.
Smith:  I'm thrilled to be the best of the middle of the pack.  It's like getting an 1100 on my SATs and everyone else got 1000 or less.

JW: Up until the draft, you or Aaron Rodgers of Cal were being considered possibilities.  Why did you got 1 and he went 22?
Smith: I guess he sucks.

JW: What's the biggest challenge for you to overcome?
Smith: The history.  I have some big shoes to fill at the qb position in San Fran

JW: Montana?  Young?
Smith: No, Druckenmiller and Rattay

JW:   Druck...
Smith:  Yeah.  I'm no Montana, or even Young.  I just have to be better than Jim Druckenmiller and I should be ok.

JW: My 13 year old daughter was almost as good as Jim Druckenmiller.
Smith: She's too young for me.  Have her call me in 5 years.

JW: Why did you chose the number 1 for your jersey?
Smith: I didn't.  That was a novelty jersey the team made me hold up to signify I was their first pick.

JW: Wow, you learn so much when you talk to insiders.  Any thoughts on the Catholics electing a former Nazi as Pope?
Smith: I hear it came down to a Nazi or black guy.  They needed to pick someone who wouldn't upset the Italians or Irish I guess.

JW: Any concerns throng to Terrell Owens?
Smith: He was traded to Philadelphia prior to last season.

JW: See, only an insider would have known that.  And finally, Ginger or Maryann?
Smith:  I don't know who they are.

Alex Smith, good luck in the NFL.
