This is the by definition the very problem. He doesn't do it to where the reward factor is there, and he probably only does it when a flanker is so open that is chance of **** up is minimal, which is why his percentage is misleading. Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers both have over 3.5x the amount of deep pass attempts and they are still superior, along with other QB's with a larger amount of attempts than AS for this statistical sample...

Again. Look who you are comparing against. The best of the best. Also, Alex Smith does not and has not had a Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, Randall Cobb, Donald Driver, James Jones, and Jermichael Finley.
He did not have an Eric Decker, or Demarius Thomas. At some point, that has to become relevant. Alex Smith is GONE from the 49ers, yet they still traded for Boldin, still drafted a TIGHT END, and a receiver. Kaeperick is 10 times more talented than Alex Smith. Now, put alex smith with Denver, or Green Bays receivers, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, he is not going to put up those numbers, that's not what im saying. But he might throw a few more chance balls, or deep balls.......hes not peyton, nor Rodgers, just illustrating the point of the difference in PLAY MAKERS.
