The problem with Alex Smith is he came into the league with poor mechanics.
At one point he had improved on his mechanics, but not nearly to the point
where he could be an accurate passer in this league. His mechanics caused
a lot of passes to sail over receivers, even on shorter throws. We'll see what
he can do, healthy and without Nolan, but I wouldn't hold my breath honestly.
