Transformation Complete!

Raise your hand if you really thought that San Francisco 49ers inconsistent and oft-embattled quarterback Alex Smith was going to have the best season of his career in Jim Harbaugh’s first season at the helm of the Niners.

Okay, those of you that answered ‘yes’ put your hands down and stop lying!

I’m sorry, but there’s not a person in the world that could have ever thought that Smith would have a better season than Philip Rivers, Jay Cutler, Michael Vick, Matt Casel and Joe Flacco.

The transformation that Smith has gone under in head coach Jim Harbaugh’s first season has been nothing short of astounding. Smith is ranked 10th in the league in passing and has thrown just five interceptions on the season, though he hasn’t thrown the ball quite as much as most of his counterparts.

Still, it’s amazing, but nice to see Alex Smith coming around after years of failures as a former No. 1 overall selection.
