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.

2 things: 1) Reid didn't know how much help our line needed until we started playing the games.
2) Reid didn't know Fish would be the dumpster fire he's become.
The idea was to turn Alex loose and let him sling the ball. He's too hesitant when he does have the time and more often than not he just doesn't have the time...
