I want to see more of the second quarter and second to last drive Alex smith. And we need to stop congratulating him for not making mistakes. What I want is a QB who can manage games. That means playing it safe when we control the pace, and taking risks when we don't.
Because smith isn't asked to take control like that, he can sometimes look out of place when he does. I want his mentality to change. There have to be games where it's okay for him to make mistakes because one or two mistakes is okay. I think he has it in him but he has to be encouraged to do it. His back shoulder throw to McCluster is a great example of that.
And I'd have to think if he took more chances, he could get rid of the ball a hell of a lot faster.
