- only twice has hit the top 15 finish in TDs
I'm not pointing that out to say it's all about flashy stats, but teams aren't winning because Alex Smith is the QB. He's not doing dumb things to make them lose, but he's not doing anything special to win. He didn't defeat those elite QBs, hell he wasn't even on the field when they were... that's a silly stat.
Smith has been around good RBs and defenses, but can't get teams over the hump because he doesn't have "it".

Look at the surrounding talent. Alex is as good as his team, and his offense was never that great.
When Vernon Davis is your only legit passing weapon you're not going to have great stats or throw the ball that often.
Look at all the WR's he's played with since 2005. Bottom of the barrel for sure.
