There's a lot of truth in the positive Alex Smith posts.
He is really good at presnap reads and adjustments, and he protects the football as well as anyone.
He has the physical tools to play at a Trent Green level, and that is good enough to compere for a SB.
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.
