There are also some that no one remembers... because Bowe's CB gets a DPI thrown on him on what look to be promising deep connections. Moves the chains, but doesn't show up on the stat sheets.. so they become forgettable.
We can assume that Alex just hates throwing deep down the field... but can we be sure? Seems Reid is utilizing him (for now and for the most part) like Harbaugh did. They KNOW the OL pass pro sucks... so they tell him "you like your first look high % pass option? Take it."
Reid is the type to demand Alex throw more deep passes, if he wanted him to. So by now, Alex would be trying more deep ones, if asked to. He isn't... so I'd think it a safe bet that Reid IS telling Smith to keep doing what he's doing... for the time being.
