So, Joe Montana wasn't replaced?

They tried to get Matt Hasselbeck, BEFORE they ever talked to Alex Smith between the lockout, and Jims first season. Nice try by you of trolling. Wait, so let me see. Phillip Rivers, when he had LT, Vincent Jackson, Darren Sproles and Antonio Gates in their prime, he was a beast. Now that he doesn't have those, he is on the decline?

Holy shit, who knew, you need WEAPONS around you? Get out of here. Is that why despite alex smith being gone, the 49ers traded for boldin, drafted a tight end in the second round, and a receiver? No shit?

In 2011, other than Vernon Davis, they didn't have shit in the passing game. Crabtree was a completely different player in 2012, than he was in 2011. He wasn't injured, participated in everything, came in leaner, and became an NFL receiver.

But no, totally. Braylon Edwards, was a total stud before he got released around week 9, Josh Morgan. Whewwwww. what a beast. Ted Ginn. Whewwww. Alex should of put up 40 tds!!!!!

I heard something like he's only got 3 wins when he throws for 30+ in a game.

which of course, is awesome.
Hope we never have to play from behind by 14pts.

This is true. What no one will acknowledge is that his head coaches his entire career, have been RUNNING head coaches. So meaning they had to pass, meant they were trailing. Makes sense.

I can't tell if you're agreeing with me, or if you hate my face.

I was just about to say something similar.


I'm more worried about waht he's going to do when asked to throw it more, and do it in situations where it's expected.


That stat is somewhat misleading in that he's never been on a pass first team, or atleast one thats good. Hence, when he's thrown it that many times, they're already behind.

I don't have any illusions that he hasn't been some of the reason some of his teams aren't passing teams, I dont' know, but it's misleading none the less.

Alex Smith was a #1 pick. He's only failed 6 out of his 7 years in the league. He's really smart and can make all the throws NOW. It's gonna be a great year !

You're the one who can make it happen... Quit holding out and mail him the ****ing superbacon.

Bastard.

Whether good or bad, everyone is entitled to their opinion about these new look Chiefs. Except Clay, who will flip between a good or bad opinion depending upon whenever it suits his needs. Once Alex Smith tosses 4 TD's and 300 yds against Jacksonville, I'm 107.4% sure that he'll come out with a sappy, embarrassing poem about him.

I'm willing to bet Alex Smith never has a 300-yard, 4-TD game as our QB...or anyone else's...

The only SF teams that ran more than they passed since Alex came into the league were 2005, 2011, and 2012.

Both Nolan and Singletary tried to use Alex to pass as the first option. They both failed and were subsequently fired. I'm sure it will work this time, though.

And what weapons did they have on those teams?

Alex is 7-3-1 when he throws 20 times or less. Take out the games he left early due to injury, and he's 7-2.

In other words, the team found much more success by making Alex take a back seat. When they had to depend on Alex, they lost. A lot.

Football players, I believe.

MagicHef, can I send you a bottle of whiskey or something?
