Alex better tighten up that spiral and get the ball downfield. Nothing squanders a receiving corps' vertical threat like an inadequate arm. Not sure how much its improved, but Alex will need to work on this deep ball accuracy as well (maybe not with Moss, since he can mask it with his agility and leaping ability).
It's odd how his deep passes to Vernon are pinpoint accurate. I think what really squandered our vertical passing game was the inadequate speed and route running abilities of our WRs. That's my take though, we'll see how things work out this year now that it's been addressed.
I think Alex not wanting to make the tighter throws with defenders sandwiching played a role in that.

Agreed. Alex can throw it in there. With Davis mismatched on LBs that were not going to pick it off he was fearless. If you were throwing to a doubled crabtree who can get outjumped and outrun or a Ginn who won't go up and fight for the ball, you better err on the side of caution. Which is what Smith usually did.

Dont worry Alex will be benched and Kap will lead us to the super bowl.

I think so. Including Owusu, who does have a shot at making the 53-man roster and will be PS if he doesn't. Here is what it looks like:
Michael Crabtree, age 24, 40yard - 4.5 sec. (estimate)
Mario Manningham, age 25, 40yard - 4.59 sec. or better
Randy Moss, age 35, 40yard - 4.4 sec.
AJ Jenkins, age 22, 40yard - 4.38 sec. -- rumor of a 4.31
Kyle Williams, age 23, 40yard - 4.43 sec.
Ted Ginn Jr, age 27, 40yard - 4.38 sec or better
Chris Owusu, age 22, 40yard - 4.31 - 4.36 sec
I can't think of any team with more speed than the 49ers. Its really shocking because we were thought of as one of the slowest offenses only last season...
