Also, don't understand why you would possibly let Albert walk with a veteran QB in place. Wouldn't you want the proven guy protecting your new QB's back? Instead, they may roll the dice and pick a LT at #1 overall. Why? To save a few million? Bad back for Albert?
At this point, I hope they have a plan...cause I'm not seeing it right now. The moves just seem awfully random right now. Hope I'm wrong!

It's a small sample size but Alex Smith is actually statistically up there with the best in the league in long ball percentage and other categories. He just hardly throws them. Alex never took the chances because he "manages" the game so well at the line, he already knows where he's going with the ball a majority of the time. Thus the 70% completion. I feel this is a part of Alex's game that is deeply under estimated. He isn't the most naturally gifted QB, but he is a very very smart QB.
I'll see if I can find that article with Alex and his deep ball stats. Again they are up there with the best, but again he hardly throws them. I'm curious to see if how does now that he probably will be throwing more than 25 attempts. He will have more chances to take with Reid.
