Reid has been one of the biggest Alex Smith defenders, if not the biggest. If you think myself or Tiger are bad you should see how testy Reid gets in press conferences when asked about Alex Smith constantly. He always backs Alex up, more than any other player I would say.
Reid loves Smith, always has. It's well documented. That's why he traded for him. He has been consistent in saying he loves the guy and wishes he could have coached him a long time ago. That's not the words of someone who thinks they made a mistake.

If Andy Reid has to constantly defend Alex Smith because so many others sees his flaws then that becomes a problem much like Scott Pioli sticking with Matt Cassell and forcing him down our throats.
The good news is I think Andy Reid is giving Smith this year but wont' be as quick to defend him either and he can say what he wants in public but behind closed doors in meetings he can say another to his coaches and staff. Nothing is ever face value.
