No, he couldn't do it. No, (insert QB here) couldn't do it. That don't mean Alex was the only person who could do it.
No one could. He learned from Reid, and he already had "it" inside from his upbringing. He grew up a MLB pitchers son. Used to shag balls for Deter. He knew the spotlight and it wasn't too big for him.
But to put Alex as the sole reason why he is what he is now, let alone when he stepped into his staring position is obtuse.
I get what you’re saying. But Alex was the best option available to Andy at the time. And Andy chose correctly. Can you name an option at the time that would have been better for the Chiefs? [Reply]
I always wonder how much influence Mahomes had on Smith in 2016. Seems like when Pat joined the qb room Alex Smith started taking more deep shots than ever before. It could have been coincidental but Alex looked way better after Pat arrived. [Reply]

2017, but probably a slight bit.
I think Tyreek had more to do with it, though. [Reply]
