Yes there is.
In 2010 Matt Cassel did a great job of protecting the ball.
He also could not throw down the field to save his life, the same as Alex.
It is almost exactly the same situation now, except Cassel was actually a more productive passer than Alex Smith that year.
Through six weeks that year, Cassel was:

91/153 (59.4%)
1,044 yards
6.8 YPA
11.4 YPC
9 TD
3 INT
91.5 rating

The Chiefs were averaging 21.5 OPPG (I took out defensive/special teams scores).
This year, through six weeks, Alex is:

122/216 (56.5%)
1,330 yards
6.2 YPA
10.9 YPC
7 TD
3 INT
79.8 rating

The Chiefs are averaging 19.5 OPPG this year.
Sure, the Chiefs were 4-2 that year. Why?
1. They lost to Peyton Manning.
2. They lost a game to a team that scored 35 points.
We're going to lose in the same situations with Alex as we did with Cassel in 2010. I guarantee you.
