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?

Alex is what he is.

There's no "fixing" anything.

You either build around him (huge YAC guys) or move on...

Well, we can all agree on this - 2015 is the third year for Alex in this system. If he doesn't show marked improvement this coming season along with winning in the playoffs, it cannot be argued that this trade was a waste of resources and time and we are worse off for making the trade in the first place.

We have, now documented, the worst WR's in the history of the league in YAC.

The worst, hands down.

KC's line is dog$3it. I thought it would be bottom 5 but Alex scrambled his ass off and we managed to only be the 7th most sacked team in the NFL.

Pay for a vet HOG or two and roll the dice in the draft (3rd round sounds about right) on a WR...

That's fair.

If we don't move forward offensively next year, someone needs to eat the shit for it. If not Alex, then who? Dorsey and or Reid for not getting the proper pieces around their seemingly limited QB?

I wish I knew how to move a video from my genie to the computer so I could play the video from after the hey last year with Andy talking about Alex and throwing deep and how important it is to his ability to keep his job as a starting NFL quarterback.

Iirc it's either the pregame or during halftime.
I'm not really very interested in what Andy Reid says. I'm far more interested in what he does.

I seem to remember a murderer being part of the "Right 53." Talk is ****ing cheap.

I'm still not sure that part of this uber-conservative style is by design through Reid.


The accuracy on deeper passes can get a little better through practice but it's not going to ever be great.

Get enough talent on the team and he will look much better (see Patriots MNF game for proof).

Russell Wilson is good, but he doesn't even put up great numbers. His supporting cast helps him out.

This team will win 10 games and be back in the playoffs next year and we'll win our first playoff game sooner rather than later. Dorsey is going to bring some massive changes to this offense.

Get the OL fixed and add some more speed on the outside and we're in business.

Does anyone here really expect marked improvement?

In his tenth NFL season, is there any brave soul that wants to step forward and proclaim that this will be the year Alex takes that next step?

I wonder if there is more than one person in Utah that claims that title.
