Well the benefit is that it's going force Alex Smith not to play like Alex Smith and actually play quality quarterbacking that he will have to make reads down field and deliver the ball. If he want's to keep his job all year he will have to go out there and prove each week he has what it takes to make sustained drives for touchdowns and not leave the game on the Defense shoulders or special teams. If we see more Dustin Colquitt punts than extended drives for points he will get booed and Andy will lose patience with him and make the switch.
