Yes, he can throw the deep ball with accuracy. People tend to remember the ones he missed rather than the ones he hit on.

49ers v Rams: Smith incomplete to Davis (Davis had a memorable drop on a would-be TD, where Smith let it rip from mid-field deep into the end zone, and a perfectly placed ball bounced of Davis' hands)
Moss will stay humble because he knows this team will go on winning without him, so he better stay with the program. He has a shot to define his legacy with the 49ers and leave the game the way he wants to. If Moss reverts to his old ways, he will never forgive himself. The opportunity in front of him could yield him his first ever Super Bowl Championship if he decides to play this game the right way -- the dominant way he knows how to play.

I don't think Alex lacks for much of anything physically. His problem has been his hesitancy to be aggressive in his play when the situation arises. He made some strides last season in this area. He has good arm strength and is physically gifted enough for the position, he just has to put the ball in play and let the receiver come down with it

I don't know if Alex has the arm strength to "chuck it" to Moss. It's gonig to be interesting to see how all of this will work.

.... but yes, Alex can deliver the ball to Moss, if he is open. Question should be.. will the pass protection hold up long enough to encourage Harbaugh to allow for more passing?
that will buy him extra time in the pocket if teams have to be cautious in pressuring the guy. Its not 100% on the Oline...and Alex will tell you that. If teams are getting pressure with only a 4-5 man rush, then yes that is on them...but if they are sending extra defenders, we should make them pay for the majority of the time.
