I'm just illustrating reasonable expectations when a QB joins a new offense. We need him to get better but reality is it takes time. I just know he went 11-4 in that first season as a Chief, while he was learning the ropes, and God willing it will be the same here.
Can we win a SB with Smith playing like this? No. But we knew that. Allow for the possibility he'll get better as he plays here, and draft for the possibility he won't.

You should have included Alex's entire stats in KC (I'm not counting SF), he gets better with time. According to ESPN:
2013: 60.0% comp, 3,313 yards, 23 td & 7 int, 89.1 rating
2014: 65.3% comp, 3,265 yards, 18 td & 6 int, 93.4 rating
2015: 65.3% comp, 3,486 yards, 20td & 7 int, 95.4 rating
2016: 67.1% comp, 3,502 yards, 15 td & 8 int, 91.2 rating
2017: 67.5% comp, 4,042 26 td & 5 int, 104.7 rating
