May I ask why?
2015 was the true 'shit or get off the pot' season with Alex for me. I said to start the year that he needed to establish that he could be the starting QB for a winning team. Good news - he actually shit. He proved he can be the QB for a consistent winner.
Then the team took note of some obvious roster holes, dealt with them and got him a better supporting cast. It was time for him to prove that he could take the next step forward.
Instead he spent most of the season sputtering. He didn't take a step forward. I'll listen to arguments that he didn't regress (I disagree, but there are arguments to be made), but he definitely didn't improve.
He's not going to know the offense any better. He's not going to get more physically capable. The absolute BEST you'll see from Alex Smith is what you got from him this season and frankly I saw plenty of signs to suggest that you won't get that.
I just don't feel like we can count on that being good enough. For me, I'd just run Foles out there and see if we can learn something new because there's nothing else to find out about Alex Smith unless it's bad news.
