Not quickly. He'll drop back, scan the field, pump fake and then decide he has to run when he should be stepping up and getting rid of it. Then he "extends the play" by running all the way out to the right sideline and either running out of bounds for a loss, running for 1/2 yard or dumping it out of bounds. 1 time out of 10 he might complete a pass.

It's a really annoying thing and he does it every game.

Because he's scared to make a mistake.

I think it's a great idea as long as Bray and Murray get significant snaps. There is one QB on this roster that I do not give a **** about, his name is Chase Daniel. If Alex Smith goes down, we aren't winning shit regardless of whether Daniel or one of the two younger guys take over. Therefore, in my opinion, he should be the one cut. So, give Alex the first half of the next two preseason games to prove he's not an epic failure, and let Bray & Murray split the second half to see what they've got. And for heaven's sake, let them throw the ball while they're in the game. In the first preseason game, weren't most of Bray's snaps handoffs?

There's a lot of things that you can argue that Smith doesn't do well, but if he is missing a receiver by that much, then you can bet your ass that it almost assuredly was a miscommunication.

And make no mistake, Alex Smith isn't GrBac or Cassel.
He isn't one to point fingers elsewhere when he ****s up.

I was completely against the Smith trade. Two 2nds being too much. Hated it.

I think even the biggest Smith bashers would agree he's a top 15 QB. Mostly because there are some really bad starting QB's in this league but it is what it is.

With two offseason FA periods and a complete draft at his disposal Dorsey hasn't added ONE player AT ANY POSITION who is top 20 in the league. Anyone. At any position. And this includes him having the no 1 pick in the draft.

Dorsey's best draft decision was not to use the picks and instead trade for Smith.

So, in summary: In two offseasons Dorsey has not added any quality starters while losing quality starters and his best draft decision was to not draft anyone. His drafting is such a pile of $3it it has made me a fan of the Smith trade...

Again, he can throw deep, he just hasn't often done so, because he is committed to not risking interceptions. It is just the way he has become. If he could find a way to take the appropriate risk at the appropriate time on those deep passes, he could be a top QB. But I can't see that happening. He is what he is at this point.

But I saw Alex make numerous throws to Vernon Davis just like this. Well over the DB trailing Vernon. As long as Alex's wide receiver has complete separation from the DB, he will make the throw. Put a DB anywhere in proximity of the WR, and he won't take the risk.

I am a 49ers fan who has watched him for years and for years posted stats showing it is a myth haters pulled out of their ass.

So he holds the ball too long? But also bails out quick in a panic?

Smith only had 18 throwaways last season.
