We know for a fact that Alex Smith isn't winning any playoff games so why continue to win just enough games to keep us out of the high draft picks?
I know why they continue to put Smith out there, it's because of the dumb fans like stryker who eat up being 12-4 and losing in the playoffs. They're always like "we need to draft more defense and next year we'll win it" "Alex Smith wasn't the problem" etc. It's this loser mentality that keeps our franchise shit.

It's true Smith didn't help in the Steelers game, but Bell ran for 180 yards in that game. Yes, not stopping the run was reason number one they lost that game. And I know it's been argued to death, but Smith had a terrific game against the Colts. Sure, you can say he threw four TDs but needed to throw five in order to not shoulder that loss. But that's a dumb thing to say.
I think they are going to draft a replacement this year, and it's time to replace Smith, I agree he's taken them as far as he can, but I don't agree that the losses in the playoffs are on him, they're on the team. If you're going to blame him and him alone, then you should also give him sole credit for the winning record he has the last five or six years.
