people need to quit equating Alex Smith with this approach and think of Tom Brady winning pretty much all of his rings throwing to backs, and TE's, and slot receivers over the middle.
If we start whooping people doing that, then those deep shots will open up again.

Exactly. You keep taking high percentage passes and running the ball and being patient, teams will have to start playing up on it.
The difference between Mahomes and Smith is teams played up short against Smith because that's all he could do.
Mahomes will smoke you if you leave guys open deep. That's the difference.
The problem is he isn't setting up the defense. He is trying to force things.
