I can't believe more people haven't stopped to make fun of this question. I'll skip that part and just say YES, you should ABSOLUTELY do that deal if you can get Vick for just Alex Smith. That's like getting Michael Jordan the basketball player for Michael Jordan the baseball player.
its not nearly as lopsided as you make it seem. yes, id make the trade, but this isnt mike vick circa 2004 and alex smith circa 2010. vick was pretty awful last year compared to his expectations. no need to make fun of gzr.
Vick has looked extremely capable this preseason, and is going in to an offense that is tailor made for his skillset. He still has the speed. He could easily finish in the top 3 at QB in fantasy. Alex Smith would be very lucky to finish in the top 16. It is very, very lopsided. It is the definition of lopsided. I wasn't meaning to make fun, just adding emphasis to the degree I felt was appropriate for the question. Alex Smith circa 2010 is the same as Alex Smith circa 2012 is the same as Alex Smith circa five seconds ago. Vick is good, Smith is not.

i made the trade i forgot to mention this was for my back up qb because Stafford is my starter.

Vick may well end up your starter, Stafford is good but Vick could run for enough yards/scores to force you to make him your new #1.

I hope so I usually don't like a high injury risk backup, but the potential reward seemed worth the risk.
