The previously gun shy Alex Smith (+1.6) would attempt 14 passes over 10 yards in the air and the biggest shame was that his receivers (four drops, three of them critical) couldn’t make the catches to give Smith that stat to go with his excellent throws. These four drops don’t even include his peach of a throw that bested the coverage of Chris Harris with 8:25 to go in Q2 (the play was called back for holding away from the target), where Smith fitted it in between the sideline and Harris only for Bowe to drop.
Still it was encouraging to see the team open up the playbook and by and large have their quarterback respond.

This is a pretty good sum up
The one thing that Alex did poorly was he held on to the ball to long and took some horrible sacks. Outside of that which did really hurt Alex was good against Denver for the most part.
