Well... like I told people on SF forums when they expressed their outrage at Harbaugh nearly begging Alex to come back... Harbaugh sees something good in Alex, so it may be best to just chill and realize that people being paid to make these calls have a better take on it than you. And what happened? Most of the disgruntled changed their tune and assessment of Alex during the 2011 season. Some still managed to hold a grudge.. based on Alex's first few years. They were miserable people that still can't let go of the obsessive hate.
Just like other people said on here... what better QB was there for the taking? There are really only two choices here.. since it seems clear that you and others are not totally giving up on following your team. (1) put some hope and faith into your new HC and give Alex a chance before screaming about the sky falling. (2) go into this season jaded, kicking and screaming hate.. just on the chance that you may be RIGHT... and if you take the latter avenue? Then win or lose.. ya kind of lose.
