Alex Smith will be the same guy he's always been or he'll regress. I have a hard time seeing him elevate his game.

Agreed. I think even Reid thought that they could coach some of the conservative out of him then realized that it just wasn't going to happen, leading to his "I wish we could have gotten him earlier in his career to coach him up" comment prior to drafting Mahomes.
Only thing I could see happening is that Reid, Nagy, and Chilly figured out what didn't work last year and throw it out, go back to what they know works and also figure out a way to get his legs involved in the game plan again like a couple of years ago, so he can have a better year than last year. But other than that, I don't see where he goes up, especially without Maclin...
