It's a great ****ing throw and was delivered in the correct way, as I've said. However, it isn't some grand display of touch as everyone is trying to make it out to be. I don't see how that's so offensive to say.
Me: "yeah it would be super cool if he became a ****ing guru at touch passes alongside being able to laser that shit"
Everyone: "omfg you love alex smith because you live in seattle and he is already a guru master at everything in year 1 *insert random insult about homosexuality and/or about parents*

"Grand display of touch"? No, it's a display of touch that counters your argument that he doesn't throw with touch. Which quite frankly is silly, considering he has collegiate and pre-season tape that directly dispute your statement.
You also seem to be under the impression that "touch" = Rainbow, and that if it isn't some arching rainbow then there was no touch. Which is also silly.
