It's been a rough couple of weeks for 49ers quarterback Alex Smith. He was the starting QB on a team many viewed to be the favorites to win the Super Bowl this season. Following a concussion and an impressive performance from former backup Colin Kaepernick, Smith has since lost his job in San Francisco. And he isn't too happy about it.

As this video from CSN Bay Area shows, Smith said of his demotion, “It sucks. I don’t know what else to say.”
