A lot of those receivers were wide open, but one thing you take away from that video is that his accuracy is a huge step up from Cassel, especially beyond 10 yards. Smith's arm is at least respectable, though certainly his arm strength is not elite, you could call it average NFL arm strength, IMO. His mobility and pocket presence are certainly better and will be an asset.
My main concern with Alex Smith is his ability to stay healthy. He was sacked a ton of times in those lackluster seasons in SF, and I think we will be able to protect him better.
It is a start.
