Smiths best year? He was 13-3, on a team that led the league in Time of poseesion, starting field position, opponents starting field position, and had a 17-5 td to INT ratio. That was his best year. Stats are irrelevant, unless we are talking wins, and unless you are going to include everything into the equation.
There was no way that Alex Smith could of had many more yards than he already had. He plays for a running coach, and when your defense forces 38 turnovers, and you have a plus 10 turnover ratio, and you play with the short field all the time, your qb isn't going to put up huge numbers. Did I mention that his head coach, and OC prefer to run the ball?
