Do you have some creepy cuckold fetish pent up inside of you. It's like the only descriptive word you use.

It's absolutely not a reason for keeping him around, but I do appreciate how shitty of a situation Alex was in and what it did to him as a player. If he could have ended up in a better situation, he might have ended up one of the best QB's in the game.
He's also a super thoughtful and nice guy, so it's always been hard for me to hate on the guy. |

OTOH, he reminds me of the classic movie son. . . Kevin Buckman.

Smith's in a tough setting here in that he knows he's talking to the camera for consumption's sake but in the room he's technically answering the interviewer. Meanwhile they're sitting alongside each other with those cockeyed chairs. Your natural instinct in that scenario is to look forward (watch Reid, he does it to). The difference is that Smith clearly has an odd tique in that he looks down when he's searching for an answer. When he's formulated it and is just spitting it out, he actually has pretty good eye contact with the interviewer. But when he's digesting the question and trying to put together an answer, he does look down - that's not terribly common. That said, it also isn't something that would preclude being a strong leader at all. Speaking extemporaneously or being a strong improvisational speaker is a much different animal than putting forward a strong belief or directive. You're reading way too much into that. We've seen his interactions with his teammates on the field, in the huddle and even occasionally in the locker room. He's clearly in his element there and generally does a good job. This really is a fascinating interview and interesting information from pretty much all the parties.

Did I hear Alex in one of those videos say that he hadn't really considered playing in the NFL until his senior season of college? If I had to guess, he is just in it for the bucks. Even his typical playing style seems geared to just keeping his job, not fervently trying to win. Whatever. He'll be gone soon, I guess. |

Ultimately there's a slight positive correlation but not nearly what you think. Many outstanding 'natural' leaders are not natural extroverts. Smith is undeniably not an extrovert; he's clearly a more naturally introverted sort of personality. But there are a myriad of ways to use that to your advantage in leadership settings as well. I think you're falling into an easy trap here. Extrovert /= leader.

Example - listen to the Kelce interview.
Kelce's clearly describing a reserved Alex Smith; it's constantly in the background of his answers. But he also describes him as a brother because "you feel like you can tell him anything". That's almost universal - extroverts, for everything they are - are not excellent listeners. So if you're someone like Smith who isn't ever going to be the guy driving the conversation, you become a sounding board and someone that hears your teammates concerns and whenever possible demonstrates a commitment to addressing them. That's 'introverted' leadership. The internal accountability you hear discussed is often is also very easy to do without being an extrovert and perhaps moreso because you can do so in an understated manner that isn't off-putting to those you're addressing. Yeah, I've put more effort into this than necessary but I'd recommend you bone up a bit on the traits of strong leaders and how different personality types can use that personality to their advantage.
