King's focusing on some pretty odd volume stats to support his argument here. Then again, Smith does really well on my 2 favorite stats (YPA and passer rating) so I'll admit my own bias there.

If the Niners fans are right, Smith's YPA and Completion % are high because he refuses to throw the ball unless his receiver is wide open. He takes a lot of sacks instead of throwing the ball away. On the surface, that sounds smart but he kills a lot of drives, which you can see on the poor 3rd down conversion stats that the 49ers have had under Smith, even under Harbaugh.
