You can't grasp the point. Don't blame that on me.
Alex Smith's play effects the perceived performance of the OL. The oline has in turn not looked great.
The Oline has also not been horrible, other QBs have done better than Alex with the same, and arguably weaker, offensive lines (Shaun Hill)
Alex Smith has been horrible, yet the offensive line has still looked like a decent group with potential.
Alex Smith can only look decent when the OL play is Stellar, yet the Oline play looks decent at times when the QB play is much less than Stellar.
Thats my point even if you find some b******t contracdiction in the verbiage I chose to use.
