He just stated in that very post a qb besides Montana that he accepted.

It's on both of them. Andy calls some bad plays. That can't be understated. However it's Smith that is bailing on good pockets a lot. It's also Smith that is hurting us with his horrific pass to the endzone numbers.
The guy has improved his deeper throws this year. Simply put though, he needs to get better in the red zone and pick up some first downs with his legs after stuff breaks down. He also needs to stay in the pocket until it does. Right now he is bailing on pockets AND not picking up yards with his legs. That's a bad combo.
For better or worse, there is a better chance Alex improves some of that to 2015 levels than there is Andy improving his play calling.
