He was great against NE.
He was Old Alex Smith for the first half of the Eagles game, then fantastic in the 2nd half.
Then he started to regress to old alex with some spashes of great throws each game.
Then the past 5 games, he's been old Alex without that many great QB throws.
Past 2 games he's been frankly awful.
The Giants didn't have to even defend 1/3 of the field because he couldn't throw into the strong breeze.
As the weather gets colder he gets worse. They should bench him for Mahomes before his trade value goes down even more because as history is an indication he will continue to suck in colder temperatures and windy days. Maybe fake another concussion for a 1 game tryout like they did last year for Foles.
The offense needs a spark. A true franchise QB can lift a bad or mediocre offense to greatness. He can't get much worse than Alex Smith has been the past few games and will likely be the rest of the season. This season, with the coaching and practice time he's seen, he will be somewhere in between imo.
