That's the type of timid QB play that I and many others are afraid is coming with Alex Smith. And the type of timid QB play that makes him a middling starter rather than a star.
More accurate would be:

1) Start read progression
2) Recognize there's no time to read whole field
3) Brain switches straight to minimizing turnovers:
A) Run?
B) Throw it away?
C) Sack?

3.C is about 70% of the time...

Denver rookie QB John Elway, on Jack Lambert, after Lambert and the Steelers knocked Elway out of his first game as a pro (1983).
