Stop confusing Football instincts with Intelligence level
From everything I've heard, Alex Smith is very intelligent. That he can learn an offense just about as fast as a coach can explain it. That he understands the game and the processes.
The stuff like field vision and throwing accuracy is not something anyone can teach anyway.
Alex Smith will be a great example of how to be a Pro Football player. He will teach where he can and help the kid learn the offense and how to handle the pros. He won't be hostile and tell a rookie QB to "**** off" or try to prevent a new QB from developing to keep his job.
Whether the young QB has natural football instincts and on-the-field talents are completely up to him.
Stuff like footwork and mechanics will be handled by the position coach.
