First and foremost, the coaches being able to put Alex Smith in a position to play to his strengths. The previous staffs didnt do that. Singletary, nor Nolan. They had what they wanted, and didnt care if the qb was capable of doing it.

Second, I think the advancement of talent helped quite a bit around alex smith. and thirdly, i think that the defense being used correctly, was the biggest contribution to alex smith, knowing that they didnt have to score on every possession, reduced the risk factor for alex smith, and allowed the other parts of the team to carry the burden. Im not blind, nor stupid. i know that David Akers had to have a career year with 44 fgm, and i know that the defense, and special teams broke records. Alex Smith was simply a part of the solution, but he wasnt part of the problem. Same Theory goes here.

I dont think he is comfortable being the guy that would have to average 38 throws a game. Its not his DNA. The biggest advantage to i believe making a qb is by playing to their strengths. The winning franchises seem to do that quite well. Is that not agreeable?

I agree with you 100%. Harbaugh went to MartyBall and that's a system Alex can work in. It sent Steve Bono to a probowl. I just don't see the Andy Reid going full Marty and I don't think our defense is anywhere near the 49er defense. Too many questions up front.
