This conversation came up because of Smith's penchant for missing open receivers. He has difficult reading defenses as the play is unfolding. He doesn't see the field well. This is not up for debate. It is proven fact.
You have been attempting to counter this claim - that Alex Smith struggles to read defenses as the play is unfolding - for a few days now, and then posted this thread, with a GIF of him hitting Tyreek Hill for a TD.
But that GIF does not support your counter argument. Because he made that read presnap. He did not read the defense as the play was unfolding. He already knew where he was going with the ball before the ball was snapped.
This has gotten him into trouble in the past. It is exactly what lead to his two endzone interceptions last year. It worked out this time because Reek made an incredible catch, but it's not any kind of evidence that Smith is good at reading defenses.
You are totally and completely wrong.
