At Least One Person Thinks Alex Smith Is an Equal to Drew Brees and Peyton Manning (Video)

One broadcaster may have overestimated Smith's skills just a little bit.

Every so often, you're going to hear some WTF-type comments slip out of commentators mouth. That's understandable unless less it's some absurdly unprofessional lack of human judgment—you're basically talking for a few hours. What John Lynch said during the Chiefs-Panthers game doesn't fit under that category, but still: Whoa there.

"The guy is up there with the Peyton Mannings, the Drew Brees," Lynch said.

Now, the fact that this was a Kansas-Carolina game should clue you in to how in over his head Lynch is with his remark—Cam Newton and Alex Smith are good, but not amazing. Lynch was referring to the latter though.

But give Smith his credit: He made something of himself (and a long lackluster Chiefs team) after years of suffering under Mike Singletary's lackluster coaching at San Francisco. Still, are we really comparing Smith to two men who traded the season record for most passing yards?
