He's just too scared to pull the trigger on the plays top level QBs need to pull the trigger on.

Defenses are taking away his ability to run with the ball and are forcing him to play outside his comfort zone and he simply isn't responding.

He needs to be on a short leash after the bye week, but he won't be.
I tend to agree. To his defense he hasn't had an O line to protect him and after facing the D lines of the Texans Jets and Steelers he's still not getting comfortable. Hopefully the line gels and he has more time. Those wide open receivers need to be found. I'm about ready to move on from him no matter how many gigabytes he has.

The problem is that his gigabytes are stored on these:

The Steelers have a shit pass rush.

They had 1 sack in three games before they played us.

Alex always has and likely always will run himself into unnecessary sacks.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Alex has always taken unnecessary sacks. That's why his offensive lines always run block well but mysteriously appear to be horrible in pass protection.

He doesn't anticipate guys breaking open, doesn't look down field with any regularity, isn't willing to pull the trigger on down field or tight throws on a consistent basis, and stares down the pass rush.

He's been shitty, but that's not really true. For the average 2 sacks per game he is responsible for, his athleticism manages to avoid another 2 per game where many would have be sacked.

So if Alex wasn't so athletic, he would be sacked 5 times a game over the last six years. WOW!!!

I partially agree, Smith has had a LOT of pressure. The line has had holes ever since he's been here. But yes , the rest of your statement I can agree with. I really miss Willie Roaf !

I don't buy that. Guy has no feel for an NFL pocket. He only moves well outside of it and by that I mean he's kind of fast.

O.city 10-09-2016 02:35 PM
He leaves the pocket all the time when he doesn't have to, which causes him to miss open wrs and big plays.

Would you say Smith is "deceptively" fast?

Duh. How do you think he scores all those hidden touchdowns?

Smith is fast. Credit where it's due.

Physically speaking, he's got everything you need to excel in this league. He has a weak-ish arm but you don't need a cannon to make it work.

His issues are 100% mental.
