Alex Smith's 2nd year looks alot like Trent Green's 2nd yr w/Chiefs

Let's just start with an Oline capable of passblocking, first off. They don't have to be great...but average would be a significant improvement.

Likewise, let's get some WRs who will actually catch.

Bowe
Jenkins
Hemingway
Avant

ALL left TDs on the field this season - fact. It wasn't because Smith didn't throw to them - it's because they are terrible and don't catch. Or look over their shoulder and step out of bounds instead of showing field awareness and breaking to the end zone...

But mostly because they just dropped the chalupa. Repeatedly.
