Only to be said again after the 1st game

Things to be "excited" about?

Well, our best case scenario is that our qb puts up numbers well, well above anything he's ever done in 7 years, and that we'll incorporate parts of a pistol offense that half the league will probably also try to copy just like the wildcat from a few years ago.

**** that shit - the only thing I can see being actually excited about is charles possibly breaking off a few more runs.

Unless you really do get excited about offensive lineman, nothing this off season really warrants excitement - only mild curiosity.

Hey, remember this:

Do you want to know what Alex Smith has done in the same circumstances?

He's 28-5-1 in games where there were more rushes than passes

He's 1-1 in games with the same number of rushes and passes

He's 11-35 when he's asked to throw more than the RBs run

And that is on a vastly more talented team, only one of those 5 losses with more runs has come since December 2006.

And the last two seasons?

8-4 vs 14-1-1.

Speaks of an enormously talented team being held back by one guy.

Over the last 4, it's 10-18 vs 18-1-1.

The 49ers were a pretty weak team roster wise for the first 4 years of Alex Smith's career, especially on the OL. They had a few nice players like Staley, Gore and Davis, but not much else.

Then they draft Crabtree, but he holds out for his entire rookie year, so his rookie season turned out to be 2010 instead of 2009.

Then in 2010, they finally upgrade the OL, but Anthony Davis had some rookie struggles (especially against us that year. We owned him).

2011 was the year the offense as a whole finally started to come together because of good coaching. But even then they had a few problems, like Adam Snyder and Chilo Rachal.

With that strong supporting cast, Alex Smith was top 10 in QBR the last 2 years, never threw INT's and had a good completion %.

I think we have a good enough roster on offense to help Alex maintain those numbers.

What's worse?

Alex Smith or Hurricane Katrina?

The number 1 on your least, has me the least ****ing excited. This is the least excited i have been entering a KC Chiefs season, since well i became a Chiefs fan.

Alex Smith, Katrina fills up stadiums, Smith is going to clear Arrowhead. lol

Holy shit, the perfect response.

LMAO LMAO

That's a winner, fellas

How nice.. an educated man. :thumb:

Die.

He missed 4 games. San Fran was also 3-1 at the time he signed.

I think Alex Smith is a solid game manager, nothing more, and I was not happy that we hired Andy Reid.

So, no matter what else we do, those two things temper any possible excitement I would otherwise have.

I am not getting any younger, and I just don't see this coach getting this team a SB, and have even less confidence that it will happen with this QB.
