Obviously we won't know until the draft, but to me it felt like he was saying, 'I've got maybe one more chance at this and its time to push the chips in.' And he should be right. Because whether you draft a QB and groom him for a year, or you end up taking one of the 2018 studs that could be game-ready, this is likely Alex's last year as the starter.

My expectations will be conservative next season. Barring the defense becoming elite, and/or having a top 3-5 running game, I will not get my hopes up for a Super Bowl bid. But, I do like the idea of Smith seeing the writing on the wall and just letting it hang loose. After all, his time is almost up and even he knows it now.

Andy must have had a really interesting talk with Alex after the Steelers game.

It's pretty clear that Andy told Alex that he's still the guy for now but it's time to get the next guy in the building and prepare him for the transition.

He probably told him that to reaffirm that he's the guy next year but it's about over.

It's not quite clear to me that he saw Hill break free before he started rolling out. I'm not sure he could have made that throw to Hill once he took off. He would have had to stop, turn, and throw or throw across his body. Not many QBs can throw across their body.
I'm not defending him, I'm just saying that play shouldn't be the only nail in his coffin.

The problem with that play is that Smith should have stood tall in the pocket. Harrison was 7 yards away, take the hit and make the throw that will win you a playoff game. Hell, if he anticipates Reek's break, he wouldn't have taken a hit at all.

alex saying 'its dumb not to draft a qb', means he has no plans to play football past the age of 35 :D

Get the 5th year option and let the kid sit for a year or 2 before taking over a very talented team.

I doubt they are able to sit at 27 and wait...somebody will trade up in front of us.

Again.

at 27 you will be drafting a fourth round qb in the first round. :D

Alex Smith is out of excuses, and he needs to deliver the best season of his career





No more ****ing chances. This dillweed either blows up next season or blows the **** OUT.

he could blow up this year and i would still want him gone the year after. you only get lucky once in this scenario :D

Something gives me the feeling that he has seen the gif and the discussion regarding it. He doesn't have social media, but that just gives him more time to read the message boards! I bet he's reading CP right now!!! Hi Alex! Hey, there is this guy on here named Sandy Cheeks who really admires you for some reason (possibly sexual)!!! You should drop him a line!!!

I just did you a solid, Sandy. I'm your Alex wing man!!!!

Houston and Ford combine for 28+ sacks. Berry returns and picks up where he, Mitchell, Peters and Parker left off. The run defense becomes respectable again. The run game becomes a top unit again, and the weapons stay healthy on offense....

In other words, we need A LOT to go right.

We just need to play our game. Our run game took a giant step back. Maclin took a huge step back. Our total sack numbers were pitiful in comparison to the previous year. The only thing that remained constant was our INT numbers. Biggest improvement obviously was on STs.

If Smith lets it rip like he started to at the end of last year and Ehinger provides that push we need in the run game, look out!

The lack of pass rush was a killer. Just absolutely pathetic

Houston is another overpaid player who needs to put up or shut up.

“I knew all week the way (the Steelers) play, they’d lose guys here and there,” Smith said. “And the hard part, as a quarterback, is when a guy that’s not in your progression blows open because you’re not looking. Sometimes you fall into those and sometimes you miss them and you’re like ‘God if I would have just seen Tyreek over there.’


At least he's aware of his biggest weakness. Finding receivers downfield.
