Alex Smith Ineffective In Return

 Much discussion has focused on the triumphant return of Smith. As incredible as it is, he is physically a shell of himself due to muscle loss and nerve damage from the infection. His bone is healed and can withstand the hits, but there’s no way the old Smith can endure being sacked six times or throwing 2.2 yards per pass. Allen has already been named the starter for Week 6. As great a story as his return is, it is unlikely that Smith will remain number 2 on the depth chart going forward.
