Points 9 and 10 are what I’m talking about. if and when someone stops the running game, the passing needs to come through. I still hope Smith plays like Chiefs QB and not the 49ers QB which is what he’s currently playing like.

Unless our running game breaks down on its own due to injuries, then for teams to stop our running game that should mean they need to focus more on putting men in the box. if men go in the box and don't automatically rush the passer that should mean that our wide receiving crew should be able to get open. and Gruden as shown that he's effective at scheming that.

I also think we are seeing Smith showing more comfortable passes with Reed, Doctson, and P Richardson.

Agreed, but what about games like Indy and NO? Peterson was held to 20 and 6 yards and then there was no offense.

Alex Smith's first season with the Chiefs in 2013:
60.6% completion, 3,313 passing yards, 23 TDs, 7 INTs, 89.1 passer rating. He went 11-4 (missed a game).

Alex Smith's first season with the Redskins in 2018, projected:
63.2% completion, 3,568 passing yards, 18 TDs, 5 INTs, 91.3 passer rating

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.

Agree, but what I’ve noticed and believe me I’ve seen lots of Alex Smith in SF where I live. Maybe that’s why I’m more critical of him, currently he’s playing like the 49ers AS. I want him to succeed and I know he can do better, I want the Chiefs AS.

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
