Alex Smith is one of many intriguing QBs this year. Martz' resume is littered with 4000-yard passers.
Gore is also 'intriguing' to me. I put that in quotes because while many are banking on him to have a top 10 performance this year, I'm having a hard time letting go of the Martz' resume concerning running backs not named Marshall Faulk.
On the other hand, Gore finished 10th in Yahoo standard scoring last year in a down year despite an injury and an all-around crummy offense. It was, of course, a down year for all running backs and Edgerrin James actually finished 9th for what that's worth.
The Mustard: You could do worse than snagging Smith as your QB2. In fact, he'll probably be high on my QB2 target list. As for Gore -- I'm risk averse, but he has to do better than last year, so he certainly warrants consideration for your top-10 running backs list but without knowing if Martz really will give Gore 25 touches a game (as he said this off-season), I just can't bank on Gore in the top 5.
