Yes and no.
Alex Smith
is a very accurate and fairly mobile QB. No, he's not a downfield bomber, but if you're working sideline routes, he's an extremely smart, efficient, accurate passer.
Smith is a very very good fit for a true WCO. Reid runs a more vertical version of it, so he'd probably want someone with a little more downfield arm than Smith if he had his druthers.
That said, if he doesn't like the tape on any of the QBs and with no better options available in FA, Smith
could be a guy that Reid likes and he'd simply have to tailor his offense to fit Smith's skill-set. Hell, he'll probably have to tailor it anyway, he doesn't have a true deep-threat on the roster.
I actually think Reid
could like Smith and I think Smith could do well here.
