If you look at just his play I'd give him a B+. But if you consider the O-Line is Sub-par, the receivers are scrubs, we're on our 3 and 4th TEs and our running game was almost non existent today I gave him a solid A. Honestly how can you give him anything less? They are 4-0. Enough said.

I need to see more of him before I can judge him as a quarterback. There had to be a reason why Harbaugh went with Kaepernick over him, so there are these lingering doubts that I have about his QB ability even though he's been very consistent and successful over the past two plus seasons.

However, I will jump on the bandwagon as more people vocalize his positives as a Chief. One more win should do it.

He is what he is. I think most of us agree that he doesn't have some huge arm like Eli, but he does a solid job of playing within his limitations. Actually, his arm is pretty good...he's just not an accurate deep ball thrower. I'm sure it helps Alex a lot to work with a coach who fully believes in him. Harbaugh probably always viewed Alex as his "inherited"guy.

I can't give the guy anything but an A when he's 4-0 and on pace for those kinda numbers.

I see what some of you are saying about areas for improvement, but if we get technical here an A is 96.9% – 93%. That's not perfect, and leaves plenty of room for improvement.

A+ is 97% - 100% which means you're either damn near perfect or perfect indeed. Those are the elite. We all knew Alex wasn't elite when we got him, so if he's dancing around just below that and can continue to do I'll definitely be happy.

F+. He doesn't throw deep enough, he only gets the plus because the team is 4-0.

His final season in SF might be considered strong evidence toward proof.

We are on pace for 19-0.

A. He's QB for a shocker of a 4-0 team. His running ability has kept so many drives alive.

CupidStunt 09-29-2013 04:07 PM

B. Be sensible here.

A+ is Peyton. Maybe Rodgers and, IDK, 1 or 2 other guys? Haven't checked the stats.

A is 65% and a much better threat to challenge the defense at the 2nd level.

I guess you could argue B+, but whatever.

GordonGekko 09-29-2013 04:15 PM

Gotta go with an A.

He has surpassed all my expectations thus far. On pace for a 28 td season, not too shabby. 4-0 is awesome.

His scrambling has added an extra dimension to the offense that keeps drives alive.

If he didn't have the picks today I'd have slotted him with an A+.

B. He has been pretty good but he could definitely improve in areas. The reason we are undefeated is because of Bob Sutton and the defense and the special teams unit.

Easy 6 09-29-2013 04:25 PM

B+

He gets into A territory with more throws that stretch the field like we watched in the second half, but I feel guilty even saying that... so he's mostly thrown medium to short, who cares, its been working.

KC native 09-29-2013 04:26 PM

C+

I don't round up. He is what we thought he is.

tredadda 09-29-2013 04:29 PM

I give him a B/B+. He is playing good football despite crappy O-Line play and lack of running game. He is also lights out in the 4th quarter. My only concern is the fact that we can't seem to score much offensively in quarters 1-3. His play in the 4th quarter is fantastic when we have a lead, but can he keep up with a higher scoring team (ala Denver) in a shootout? Against a team like that we can't afford 3 quarters of meh offense.

True, but only one INT could even be close to being on him. THe Charles one was freak luck and Charles's inability to catch that pass that was on his hands.
