Who is better than Alex Smith?

[O.city]

As much as people want to knock the weapons around Smith, he doesn't do them any favors either.

He's a cerebral guy, to a fault and it hurts his timing. Times when he just lets it go, are times taht he plays well. He just doesn't do it enough because he's so afraid of turning it over.

Turn overs do hurt, but I don't think its any coincidence that our own head Coach has talked about how he wants him to be more aggressive.

He will be this year. I think he was in the preseason, and it led to some uncharacteristic picks for him

Not really.

1 was, where he's trying to fit into a tight window (he was late with the throw though)

the other was just a shitty read/play.

This.

Alex does better when he doesn't "think" or over analyze. Just react. But he is constantly thinking and it gets in the way of his just playing. You can see times when he is just reacting and he does better than when he tries to think too hard.
