Yup. That's probably accurate.
To whatever extent Alex Smith may have been capable of winning a Super Bowl at one time, he no longer is.
We saw him get more and more skittish this year in the pocket. His arm certainly won't be getting better and I see no reason to believe he's ever going to learn any more of the offense.
So we've seen a guy who understands this offense as well as he ever will getting shell-shocked and physically declining.
There's nowhere to go but down from here with Alex Smith. Time to move on.
