According to PFF, in 2011, Alex Smith had a 114.4 passer rating on passes that traveled 20+ yards through the air. That was with Vernon and basically nothing else in terms of targets. Perspective:
- Tom Brady had a 87.7 passer rating. Even Brees and Eli had a lower passer rating, though they did throw more TDs (more INTs also)
The guy can hit his targets perfect, the only problem is he's never had someone to throw it deep other than Vernon Davis. Unless you can call Joshua Morgan, Arnaz Battle, Antonio Bryant, or Jason Hill "deep threats".
