We've seen Smith's mentality through college and his early years in SF - he's not terrified of the downfield pass. In college he was quite the bomber, actually.
He's been coached very heavily to work underneath now. Now that's arguably because of his downfield passing limitations, but it is what it is.
Smith's not a turtling little bitch that looks to check-down first. He's a guy that runs an offense where it's primary passing game is built around 2 big, strong guys that run short routes all day.
Smith's absolutely "a QB running an offense where the short yardage guy is the primary option"

I think the reputation of Alex as Captain Checkdown is overblown a bit.
I also think ChiefsandO'sFan is a butthurt moron who's taking random and worthless swings at Geno Smith because he feels cornered.
