In my opinion being replaced is a pretty good indication that your limitations have caught up with you. I don't know this, but I doubt it was 'just because'.
I'm not wringing my hands about Smith and I know what you're saying, and frankly you should be shoveling out some crow with KC sitting at 3-0.
I still think even Smith can manage more than 4 passes over 10 yards in 30+ attempts. The Dallas game was pretty brutal to watch our offense.

Everyone is fully aware of his limitations but that doesn't seem to stop a few people from hammering the point home, in EVERY SINGLE THREAD.
Yay. Alex Smith is a limited QB.
Bitching about it won't change a ****ing thing.

The point I'm trying to make (you paraphrased my comment so I felt the need to respond) is that I really think Alex can make a lot of the throws he passes up. It's not like Cassel where I just wish he'd have only thrown 4 yard passes because anything more was a disaster.
It does have an impact on our offense though, because of his style he relies on the Tight end heavily. I'm actually doing more agreeing with you than anything man. I'm not dooming and glooming about it.
