Alex Smith is like Matt Cassel

He must be protected by a running game, good Oline and surprise.

we need to be able to run the ball even when the defense is geared for it.

Smith will only pass when we chose to

Heh, some of you guys act like Reid is Rich Kotite.

He's won 130 games in the NFL.

too bad the last 130 games he has gone roughly 65-65

was from 1999 until what....maybe 2007 or 08 that he racked up the wins?

and that was thanks to an almost 10 year window of ya know, finding and drafting a first round QB and not using a veteran scrap retread.

Solid O Line and a running game. Pretty simple really.

True, but other coaches have gone on to success again once they started over in other cities.

I bet we call plenty of 1st down pass plays. We can be a pass first team and still be balanced. That's what DV did. Pass to a lead and then increase the run as the game goes on.

He's not Romeo or Pioli.

I see that as Reid built a damn good team with a good QB and they had a good long run. Then they got old and didn't do a good job of proliferating the roster. Which isn't easy to do. Since he's starting over I think Reid will get this team heading the right direction immediately.

Our last 2-3 coaches have been such tremendous failures it was kind of hard not to improve.

:LOL:

You ****ing morons don't get it.

18 TD, 3200-yard QBs don't go to Pro Bowls.

that's our main hope

Haley wasn't smart enough to pass early so we could pass on our own terms later.

Run,Run,Pass,Punt actually puts MORE pressure on your QB, not less.


Our main hope is that Reid is much better at assembling/running an offense

And when Smith put those numbers up, he didn't have the same supporting cast he'll have next year....

He found a first-round QB (1.1 no less).

McNabb was the 2nd pick
