We are passing the ball at an alarming rate for a 7-2 team that has been built on running the football. Our best offensive outing this year was Oakland, when we played smashmouth football. You think back to Alex last year and his good stretch. The running game was what we were known for and it made Smith much more effective.
He has never been and will never be a Brady, Brees, Rodgers, etc. Put him in position to manage the game and lean on the run game. Otherwise, its going to be more of the same for this offense.

I think Reid is consciously trying to bolster the passing game from the pocket. Maclin, Kelce, Hill, pass catching RBs, what more does Alex need? But the results are still mediocre-bad. Maybe Reid is setting up reasons to move on from Alex
