I noted it in one of these Smith threads, but Smith throws a pretty 'run under' deep ball. A guy like Crabtree never had the gear to run under a deep throw, rather Smith would have to rocket it into a seam and let Crabtree use his body to fight off DBs. Smith just doesn't have the arm strength to do that well.
But the tape shows a QB with very good touch downfield. And if you can get a WR that can flat out pull-away from his DB (and Avery absolutely can), Smith can take advantage of that, IMO.
Time may make a fool of me here, but I really do think that his skills with this coach and this personnel group are going to allow Smith to really excel.

I would love for you to be right. I hope you are.
I'm just not willing to believe it until I see it. Too much evidence to make me doubt how good he can be, ultimately. Until then, this Charlie Brown is going to demand that Lucy put the ball on a tee and go stand on the other end of the field.
