He was a 1000+ yard receiver just a year ago, but I don't know about this move. Starting Darrell Jackson and Isaac Bruce at WR is not the way for a team to get younger. The links between Bruce and Martz are pretty strong, but all that might mean is that Martz is going to get angry at Smith for not being what Martz is going to want at QB. I think that maybe the 49ers should have stood pat with Jackson, Battle and TE Davis, but there you go.
The side note of this is that if Martz has his kind of players he's not going to try to adapt his system for Alex Smith. I don't think he'll be able to handle a pass-first offense at his age, and Frank Gore won't be happy about that either.
