Smith led offenses have been top 5 in dropped pass % the past 4 seasons
Alex Smith has never had a 1,000 yard WR
Wow, where were you on all of the Alex Smith discussions last month? LOL
10 facts about Alex Smith, and/or Alex Smith led offenses:
1. Never produced a 1,000 yard receiver.
2. Never thrown more than 10 TD passes to any group of receivers in a season.
3. Only once in 9 NFL seasons has Smith thrown 5 TDs to any individual receiver (Bowe in '13 was the 1st time that ever happened).
4. Has never led a passing offense ranked any higher than 24th (10 or more starts).
5. Smith has taken 40(+) sacks per 16 starts in every season of his career except 1.
6. The one season that he missed in SF ('08) turned out to be the most productive season for any 49ers receiver during the Smith era until Crabtree in '12.
7. Crabtree in '12 was more productive (more receptions, more yards, more TDs) in 7 starts with Kaepernick than he was in 9 starts with Smith.
8. Smith has made 10 (or more) starts in 6 of his 9 NFL seasons and has a QBR under 50 in all 6 (50 is the dead average mark).
9. In 9 NFL seasons, Smith has thrown 20(+) TDs only once.
10. Smith led offenses have been top 5 in dropped pass% the past 4 seasons ('11 & '12 in SF, '13 & '14 in KC).
