When receivers on the Packers or Saints drop a ball you think "that sucks, they blew an opportunity, but [Brees, Rodgers] will make that throw again."

When a KC receiver drops a ball you think "Oh crap, that was our one downfield shot this game and we blew it. Game over."

It's called a trend, stupid. Alex's accuracy has been good over the recent years... and has now dipped. Is this because he magically lost his accuracy? or is it because his OL is weak and the receivers sloppy?

Exactly. This needs to be repeated. This is exactly why nobody says much about Peyton Manning passes being dropped. Even though Manning's receivers have dropped more than Alex Smith's receivers. With good QBs, a drop is essentially inconsequential. When you have Alex Smith, one dropped pass feels like the end of the world because everyone watching knows that it likely won't be attempted again.

So then we dissect it and post gifs and argue and make excuses both ways and assign blame. Because there's so few of these passes, we think up reasoning for it like Alex not trusting the WRs, or the playcalling being overly conservative. We get to the chicken or the egg conundrum. When in reality, our WRs don't really drop it any more than any other teams. We just throw downfield so little that we place infinitely more importance on it than other fans have to.

Call it what you want. I am a fan of whatever the hell I want to be, and answer to no one on that.

All you are is a self-declared victor in a self-declared argument about a self-declared topic, apparently. Infallible in your own mind.

It's because he's throwing the ball more.

26.52 attempts per game under Harbaugh.

36 attempts per game under Reid.

He is being EXPOSED as a FRAUD.

Don't think you can call jumping on board with a 2-14 team bandwagoning. Not like everyone or anyone other than Alex fans were rushing over here.

Who said they jumped on the bandwagon of a team?

He's a really accurate guy! Two years out of 9 in his career, he was really accurate!

So what "bandwagon" are you suggesting he jumped on? He's always been an Alex fan...

I also love comparing Tom Brady's career accuracy to Alex Smith's.

Alex Smith is completing 58 percent of his passes this year. His career completion percentage is 59 percent.

Brady is completing 58 percent of his passes this year. His career completion percentage is 63 percent.

Alex Smith's accuracy the past two years in San Francisco is an extreme outlier for the rest of his career.

Many of the Smith critics expressed doubt that his impressive accuracy numbers from 2011 and 2012 would hold up when asked to throw far more often. So far, that has been the case.
