because it's a super bowl caliber roster. so the scenario in the playoffs is literally all or nothing.
if they make it to the Super Bowl it will be because Alex stepped up, and I will give him all the credit in the world, because that's all I wanted him to do.
If they lose, it's a bust, and it will mostly be on him. He plays the most important position, and when it comes down to it in the playoffs, QB is THE position that counts the most.
blah blah blah last years Denver team, yeah I know, don't care. Peyton still had his mind and clearly coached that team to the Super Bowl, clearly overrode Kubiak, clearly was the smartest guy in the stadium every game. That's an outlier example does not apply to us.
There's no excuse if Alex Smith can't beat the Tom Savages, Matt Moores and Matt McGloins of the world to get to Brady.
