Alex Smith isn't terrible. I would never make that claim. What he gives you makes him just about average- anywhere from 12-18 in the league to most people, I'd guess. It's just that he's so hyper conservative that it makes him hard to gauge. We really haven't seen anything like him in the NFL.
Drew Brees and Peyton Manning throw to their RBs and short routes all the time, but those guys also sling the rock all over the yard and lead the league in passing in almost every major statistical category while propelling their offenses to top 3 territory year aftet year..
One thing is certain, he's going to have to play better this season than he did last year if we want to have a prayer of making the playoffs. All of those games with 185 passing yards and no TDs have to go. After 9 years in the league, or whatever he's got under his belt, he shouldn't have so much trouble moving the chains.
