I'm talking about now.

Who has said this season is a failure already? Recently. Not when shocked the team did the same thing as four years ago.

I really doubt that. I have been doing the forum thing for a long time now. I treat people with respect until they show me they no longer deserve it. I like things civil.. but no, I can throw dirt as well, if people can't be respectful.

Much like Mav stated, I was pretty shocked that people were so nasty and miserable here. Whenever a fan from another team came over to talk up a player that was traded to SF? All the SF fans and I had very cool discussions with them. That was certainly not the case here... but oooooh well.

That's a holdover of the Carl Peterson mentality. It's not safe to draft a QB high, but it is safe to pick one up in the mid to late rounds, or even better as a UDFA because if he fails, well, you didn't lose anything but cash.

You only draft "safe" positions early. Like tackles. Insert gleeful draft gif here.

You asked a question dude......

I think most of us (including the ones who aren't big fans of Alex Smith) would be extremely surprised by that.

I've interpreted (perhaps wrongly so?) a few people as saying the fact that he wasn't given an extension is a sign that they're having a wait and see approach with him, and I just don't believe that's the case. He's their guy moving forward, I don't think there's any question about that.

People say G. Smith, Barkley, etc aren't worth a shit because no one took them until the 2nd and 4th rounds - but we're supposed to accept Bray as the potential developmental franchise QB?

LMAO

I can't imagine why all of Alex Smith's coaches have been "run first" guys...

I didn't say today.

And we are talking about the present not months ago.

Hell I asked Mac first and he wasn't even here around that time. some were shocked when the trade went down and said crazy shit. I'm not seeing many at all saying this season is a failure already. Link me to them

Seriously go back to your board and leave us to wallow in negativity. We well be ok without you here to keep out heads up

That honestly, is my biggest problem here. You guys don't know shit about what Alex Smith can and cant do. This will be the first year that he will be given complete confidence, and control by his head coach. Every single head coach he has had, has been a run first coach. Hell, Jim Harbaugh, still ran the ball more than he threw with Kaepernick. And I keep hearing people say, if Alex is asked to throw more, hes going to fail. It depends on the throws. If he is still making the short throws that lead to Bowe, or Avery or a tight end, getting a first down, or making their own yards, why would he fail? He has proven to be very VERY good at that. You don't have the personnel to chuck it up all the time. he doesn't have Desean Jackson, and Jeremy Maclin to throw to.

That's why I have said over and over, I have no idea how this is going to pan out, but using anything from San Francisco, as a barometer of how he is going to do here, is stupid, and uninformed hypothetical boring bullshit.

Really?

Mike Nolan came from Baltimore, which was RUN FIRST WITH JAMAL LEWIS.

Mike Singletary, came from CHICAGO, UNDER DITKA, then from BALTIMORE with Nolan, who was RUN FIRST.

Jim Harbaugh, came from Stanford where he had the BEST QB TO BE DRAFTED IN THE PAST 15 YEARS, and he ran 58 percent of the time in college, and ran more with Kaep, than he threw.

You tell me? maybe that's because that's WHO THOSE COACHES ARE, and less about Alex Smith, especially when I can show you that Jim Harbaugh, an offensive GENIUS still runs more with Andrew luck, and Kaep, as well as Alex.

You aren't very smart are you?
