His problem is mental.
He has the physical ability to attack the sidelines and stretch the defense over the top, but he's afraid of making a mistake.
That results in check downs and sacks.
Can Reid get him over that fear and lack of confidence?
I'm skeptical, but it is not out of the question.

Andy Reid is going ask him to throw the ball over 25 times a game and that is something Alex Smith is not accustom too. I don't care who you are if your not adapt to that after 8 years I think it's going to back fire. That is my opinion. I think you are right in many ways but Alex Smith does not have a put it on my shoulders experience. I want to see him matriculate the ball with out having to rely on the run game. It's not something he is good at. I think the more he throws the ball the more we will see his flaws. He is good at times but it is about confidence. I think Andy Reid is good at building confidence but once he starts getting hit by being exposed extra in a game I think that confidence will go out the window.
