I know people get boners over an aerial attack, but I love this approach just as much. This is exactly the kind of Alex Smith performance we need to see, but to do that, he has to be consistently efficient which is a really tall order.

It's not necessarily about 50+ yard plays, and I don't think that's the only thing people wanted to see... they did a great job of working the intermediate routes today, especially in the 2nd half, which is a big improvement and will hopefully open up the run game, too.
If you look at that play where JC wasn't looking for the ball on the pass, Bowe was on an out and up and would have been open... the chemistry needed to throw it at the right time and taking that kind of shot is needed at times (granted, he dropped the next ball thrown to him). We got a taste of that in the 2nd half, with Smith taking some chances, which is promising.
