Not 3rd down and not out of FG range and not late and not losing.

Those are the times when you need to pull some rabbits out of hats.

Sure you'd prefer a 1st down to make it a goal to go on 2nd down.

But the issue the staff will actually have seeing this is the crap O-Line performance on a 5 guys to block 3 scenario.

That would have required a 10 yard pass. That is not allowed.

Nevermind the safety that was sitting on the top right corner coming back...

pretty sure Bray makes that throw... but he's a reckless man.

Ball has to come out when Dex goes into his cut and there as soon as he comes out of it,

Clay trying to bitch about a drive that we scored a TD on.

Can you imagine if someone was that critical of his boy crush Geno?

There was a potential play there, but fudge it its preseason, AS probably just didn't want to get his guy hurt.

In the real games, this shit is really going to hurt if AS misses his opportunities like this. But for now in preseason, I'll let it slide. I want to believe he has this throw though if he decides to take the shot. If he can't make this throw on the run then we have a serious problem.

Bray would have thrown it no doubt... to anyone who was open, including black and gold.

Have you ever even played football? He's in the middle of the field behind a pack by the time AS has got line of sight he's almost to the sideline, rolling to his right with 2 guys on pursuit. If he'd have thrown that ball it would have floated and probably been picked by the corner up top who was waiting for it.

Jesus man.

At least he didn't almost break his own ankle rolling out like Geno did.

If you're going to bump-whore your threads, at least try not to be a complete ****ing moron about it. Geez.

And if you're look at the 2nd gif from Alex's view he has little to no time to set his feet and make a throw. He knows he doesn't have elite arm strength to pull off a dangerous throw like that.

Also, there is a safety looming within 5 yards of DMC who can close in and get a pick.

But what's hilarious about this is that Clay is picking apart the only throw Alex Smith didn't complete the entire drive he played.

Let the Alexcuses flow...

I have a feel pants were being shat about the same time the ball needed to come out. Pass rusher and all that...

I'm like you in that I'm not a big fan of Alex Smith, but he's our Qb, for now. Nothing going to change that, barring injury. And I'd rather that not happen and go 2-14 again (if we're lucky). Just not good for morale to do that two years in a row.

With a guy in his face, he'd have to put it up a little which gives the safety on top time to make a play. He probably could have put it up near the sideline and short so that the WR is the only with a chance at the ball..but yeah, the WR gonna take a hit.


I've seen Alex make throws on the run...he's able...but I'm sure clay is going to post that gif of the int to gore in 3 2 1...
