Elite QB's Smith has deafeted the last 4 years
 

Rodgers
Brady
Wilson
Brees
Rothlisberger
Rivers

Why can't a talented team with Smith compete?

hey thats 1.5 elite QBs every year!!!!

if we play 0 elite QB's in 2015 we might win 1.5 playoff games agianst elite QB's !!!

Oh god. Here we go.

:facepalm:

because his defense is beating the QB, not him.

the playoff game being the exception, but that will NEVER happen again.

Exactly. It's not QB vs. QB.

OP should proof read too.

Well, it CAN be.

When the defense falters, it becomes QB vs QB...and Alex fails in those situations traditionally, because his defense carries him usually, not the other way around.

3-37-1

Anyway, this team doesn't have the OL or receivers to get into a shootout with anyone. And certainly not the QB.

We will need a top 3 scoring defense to win a playoff game with Alice.

A QB doesn't "defeat" another QB. This isn't baseball where it CAN be SP(A) vs. SP(B).

Alex Smith has played with some pretty good defenses throughout his career, and he's only been able to produce avg results.

That's all you really need to know. His record isn't very good when the opposing team scores 20 or more, and if anything that's an indication that he's unable to lead his offense to keep up with his opposition.

But man do I ever hope he's able to prove his doubters wrong this season.

The more the other QB scores the more pressure is on your team's QB.

Alex doesn't respond well to that pressure.

Alex will be fine!!!

But it's not "just" the QB. There are other factors to the game as well. What happens if the running game sucks?

Smith can't win without a great defensive performance and a strong running game. The 2013 playoff game was the exception to the rule, that's about the best game Alex Smith's ever played. You can't simply just count on that happening like it's the norm, because his very next game, the 2014 season opener, he had a very shitty Matt Cassel-like performance.

Just like you never having sex

Alex is like... Suckaz

I know, right. :banghead: LMAO
