Or is he going to continue being an efficient guy who doesn't make mistakes but has to rely on his defense and run game to be successful?
As long as he's not the lock-stock-and-two-smoking-barrels "answer," and is replaced by the 2015 season, that isn't an issue (other than overpayment for him in the first place).
As long as a 2013 QB class guy isn't a "Star" type QB by the end of the 2014 season, I wouldn't even say it was an issue.
But if Geno Smith or Manuel or Matt Barkley, etc., is a star by that time? Yikes.

Alex Smith will always be limited.
The thing is Andy has shown he's not married to a qb. This isn't Herm who backed his way into a few playoffs or the Pioli era where he road Tom Bradys coatails. Reid has won a lot of games playoffs included. There's no reason why we shouldn't think this franchises best days are ahead.
