It's a false argument that Alex Smith is a better short passer than Matt Cassel.
Quote:
2010 Matt Cassel
64.3% 1-10 yards
52.2% 11-20 yards
Total accuracy, 1-20 yards: 60.06%
TD: 19
INT: 5
YPA: 7.65
2011 Alex Smith
63.2% 1-10 yards
54.3% 11-20 yards
Total accuracy, 1-20 yards: 61.027 %

So Alex is 1 percent better, but that 1 percent is less productive in terms of yards and touchdowns.
