No idea, man. I think he is capable, if the nuances of the game force his hand. Alex does have a decent 47% completion percentage on his deep throws. I sure wish he had a Calvin Johnson/Mike Wallace target to feel more comfortable going deep to. Maybe Avery will suffice... maybe Bowe can win some jump balls.
I have always wanted to see Smith make a handful or so of deep post or fly throws. As per usual, his pass protection and game circumstances tend to keep those attempts down. Maybe it IS part of his unwillingness too... but again, the combination of poor pass pro + underwhelming deep threats + lack of deep shots can't be dismissed. They have surrounded Alex for years now.
