It has to do with both.
I don't know Alex Smith personally so I couldn't care ****ing less about how nice of a guy he is or appears to be.
Alex Smith is made to look good on a team which has had a tremendous amount of talent. The defense has been top 7 in points every year except this last year (15th). The rushing offense has been top 10 all but one year as well (2016 - 15th). On the other hand, the passing offense was GARBAGE every single year except last year and it still ended with the same inevitable shit down the pants full half of football with 0 points and 30 something god damn yards.
Alex has been getting worse every year in the RZ. Luckily for him he had the best HR hitter in the game to elevate his numbers to his first 4k season ever, but still only throwing 26 TDs.
The Chiefs turn around has more to do with Andy Reid having some level of competency compared to the HC's of recent past. The team had the talent before Reid and the defensive core is still around but they lacked any kind of direction.
