What improvement? The coach limited his throws and the offense was much more effective. The only improvement I see from him is that he eliminated his mistakes, he still takes massive amounts of sacks.
Why would I be excited about a guy who was benched 8 times, he has had 1.5 winning seasons, and then eventually was replaced by another qb (Kaepernick, which technically wasn't his fault even though he is injury prone). Those 8 times he was benched were not even in favor of NFL starting calibur quarterbacks.
Matt, Alex Smith throws the short ball more than Matt Cassel. We have no idea what we are getting ourselves into.
Alex Smith, percentage of throws under 10 yards, 2011/2012:
73.3% (486 total)
Matt Cassel, percentage of throws under 10 yards, 2010:
64.4%
Matt Cassel, percentage of throws under 10 yards, Chiefs career:
65.8 % (980 total)
It's dink and dunk all over again.
