Again, Alex Smith looks average because he takes no risks, so you don't have bad plays/decisions to point out, and since few of us have All-22, you can't see the numerous throws he leaves all over the field.
Ultimately, a QB that forces a ball in a tight spot on 3rd and goal twice and gets a touchdown and a pick out of it has made better plays than the guy who chucks it into the stands twice, but the second guy "protects the ball," so he's considered the better player. It's bullshit. Second grade math, actually.
7/2=3.5
6/2=3.

But both of those guys are statues, they'd barely be able to get off all of those long chucks behind this mess... and again, this isnt intended to absolve smith, just to point out that the line really is that bad.
75% of the time their back foot would just be hitting the 5th step before a defender came crashing down on them as they tried to sling it deep.
