Alex is playing like he is hurt. Think about the Giants game and his totally weak arm, his hesitation to throw into even larger open windows down the field and his want to run at the first chance.
It seems like he has a shoulder issue or maybe just a dead arm issue going on but doesn't want to let on because he knows if he hits the bench he isn't likely getting his job back from Mahomes.
It really makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

Alex Smith was exposed by the steelers. I don't think he's hurt. He's just playing scared.
SI article nailed it. He isnt aggressive to begin with but then he also can't hit passes with anticipation. He waits for a receiver to be open by a country mile. So defenses figured him out. Don't bite on the misdirection, cover the flats, have your entire defense play downhill.
I would agree with you except that we are getting beat by the same defensive look every single week since Pittsburgh.
