You realize that the part in bold doesn't make LDT look better, right?
1. Alex Smith throws the ball as fast as he possibly can. It's part of what everyone hates about him. He dumps it off at first opportunity. That makes the job of Oline easier, they don't have to hold blocks. I believe they said that Smith throws the ball is like 1.3 seconds. I think it was the fastest in the league.
2. Alex Smith is also mobile and runs scared as first chance. That may hurt the OTs but it helps the interior because Alex usually runs sideways and backwards.
It better be so backloaded that he doesn't see 75% of that contract because it is too damn much money for a guard that isn't elite and dominant.
Our offensive line is average at best, yet we are paying like we have the Dallas Cowboy Oline.
