Regardless, year after year, Alex is below average at 3rd down conversion rate relative to his peers. High completion percentage. High passer rating. Low conversion percentage. Unfortunately, the conversion rate is the important part, and Alex has never been good at that. |

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Main improvement should be less turnovers. He's very safe with the ball (to a point he's been criticized for it, but I'm fine with that!).

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
I'm pretty excited to see us have a chance to actually compete in a prime time game. We've been pretty terrible in those for quite some time now.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Over the last week I have been assigned QB Grades and Charting process, I just finished the skins eagles MNF game. Kirk did a solid job using his playmakers in space (Reed, CT, Crowder) but it is clear as day why we didn't really beg him to stay.. When you see the tape closely it really shows him missing wide open guys, also I wanted to see if Sean Salisbury had any substance behind his "Kirk is just a stat guy" I didn't see him being selfish but I DID see him take sacks when he easily could have thrown the ball away, one play closer to the end of the game when we were down , he had Doc one on one in the EZ and instead of throwing a 50/50 ball, he took a ridiculous sack after having plenty of time. When you see the End Zone angle it shows our Line still busting ass in a losing situation, he got up after the sack and walks off with his head down. I'm not bashing Kirk, I loved having the guy but can Kirk make a throw on the move like Alex did against us last year? 4th Qtr game on the line? I just don't think he can. It's why we wanted Smith over Cousins.
Side Note: Wentz pocket presence is amazing, I was secretly hating on him because I was jealous of the Eagles winning it all w/out him but no doubt he is the real deal. I wonder if this injury will impact his running though.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Last year we led the NFL in YPA on RPO plays, with Alex here now I would imagine it would stay this way.

Kirk's DVOA ranked 13th without pressure and 18th with. Alex's ranked 6th without pressure and 6th with pressure. Interesting read, not sure what to read into it if anything but I definitely like it. (and it is certainly no less poignant than a Spaight pff stat.)

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Hadn't seen this quote from AS about what he said to his agent, but I love it:

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
I just want the Alex Smith of last year, not the one that didn't throw a td to a wr for an entire season.
