LNBS: Can Alex Smith be "Fixed"?

Part of me wants to think so.

We saw flashes in 2013 of him testing defenses downfield and being a lot more than a game manager.

Then his OL got severely downgraded through 3 big losses in free agency (all 3 got overpaid) and his 2 guards weren't even nfl quality, let alone starter quality.

His receivers needed a major upgrade last offseason (they were an obvious team weakness) and other than adding Jason Avant late in the year and developing a promising rookie in Albert Wilson...not a whole lot was done to help provide Alex Smith with adequate weapons. Losing Avery to injury further weakened an already subpar unit.

Here's my question:

If they improve the OL and receivers...will we see Alex Smith come out of his shell again (like we saw flashes of in the second half of 2013)?

If he does, how far can this team go if the defense plays like it has and Dee Ford steps into Hali's shoes adequately?

I do support his neutering though. God forbid he procreates and we're drafting little Aaron Smith at 1.1 in 20 years or giving up numerous high draft picks in a trade for him in 30 years.

Fix the line. Bring in some decent WR's and then judge. If the offense doesn't improve tremendously with Smith at center then I'll concede. But until then, it's all bullshit. We went 3 huge steps backward on what was already considered to be a patchwork OL. Our shitty WR core actually got shittier when we lost Avery for most of the year... And all anyone around here can do is bitch about Smith?

Can Smith be fixed? Smith is not the problem. Fix the line. Fix the WR. if the offense still struggles, then look at the QB, not before.
This. I think they are setting up the team so when said rookie QB comes in, he'll have plenty of support.

The QB's this year are Marriotta and Winston and they'll be gone too 5. Nothing else is left after that.
Might as well build the OL and WR core for now and the next QB.

Bullshit. They're building the team for that is perpetually .500 because getting a few lucky breaks will put you in the playoffs "where anything can happen."

We've seen this movie before.

Spoiler alert: The Chiefs give AIDS to the fan base. That's how this shit ****ing ends. That's how it always ends.

We're all saying that's how it's going to ****ing end.

You're too stupid to not see this coming.

He's making that tenth year leap; like so many other young, promising QBs have done time and time again.

It's gonna be sweet guys. You're all gonna feel really, really dumb for questioning him and the franchise in general. I totally promise. It's gonna be different this time. It's all gonna be so much different.

Yes.

There are so many retread delights to be found. Nothing more enjoyable than picking through a mountain of trash to find that treasure!
