Eh, that 2nd clip wasn't 'open'.
That was a half step of separation on an underneath zone where the reward wouldn't have justified the risk. That LB was dropping right into the zone there and without an absolutely perfect throw it could've easily been picked.
The first one it's hard to say, especially when the clip is acknowledging that the safety is shading towards Maclin there. I don't think it's at all an accident that he just happened to cut the S out of the screen. "The window is there....trust me" - why? Just show me the whole play.
This is a conversation you have to have with Discuss about once a month - bad arguments do a disservice to your good ones. There are good arguments against retaining Alex Smith but trying to point to that second clip as evidence that Smith is some cowardly jackass is just stupid. There are more reasons not to make that throw than there are reasons to make it.
