What did Alex teach Kaep? How to not recognize a defense other than Cover-2? How to take a sack because your first read wasn't open even if the protection is good? How to complete a 3 yard pass on 3rd and long? How to consistently miss seeing wide open players down field? And How to airmail the players deep that he does see?
And on and on.
The beautiful part about this is in a year you might finally see what the rest of the competent NFL fans see.

Its you who doesnt get it. Im fully aware of the limitations on the field. He takes too many sacks, he misses some open guys. I get it. I always have. but the good that he has done the last two years for the 49ers if often underestimated, and over looked, and anyone who points that out, gets crushed because hes not colin, or aaron, and thats fine. But for what andy reid brought him here to do is perfect for alex smith. care taker, professional, leader, teacher. Can alex smith not do all of that?
