Alex Smith had a shitty game 1. He had a pretty decent game 2. Has to get better in the red zone, has to close games, has to win, and has to connect on those lob passes. But using stats to tell the story of what happened is silly. I thought Smith had one of his better games as a chief. His third down efficiency was remarkable and that includes a ton of third and longs. He was really gutsy playing with that much passion in the altitude. He extended a lot of drives by buying time with his legs. Most of the qbs on that list would have struggled with the supporting cast we had out there. Let's give credit where credit is due. He wasn't terrific but it's clear that he is pretty much the entire offense right now. And he damn near pulled it off.
