Well Jersey49chief, let me tell you a story.
When I was but a wee lad in 1995 I put my faith in Steve Bono. Really believed he could take the Chiefs somewhere! Saw us go 13-3 and dammit, we were awesome, and Steve Bono did some nice things that year, and we could beat ANYONE.
And then Steve Bono pooped his pants in the playoffs. My faith was rewarded with a great big **** YOU.
So two years later we got Elvis Grbac. Oh man, I was excited. I got myself an Elvis Grbac jersey! And Elvis was the KING baby. He threw a game-winning TD pass on the last play against Oakland on MNF! The Chiefs were kicking ass that year!
And then Elvis pooped his pants in the playoffs. My faith was rewarded with a big **** YOU!
I actually continued to like Elvis after that, believed he could get the job done, and thought he would be our QB for years. I was convinced his 4,000-yard, 28-TD season in 1999 was proof of his greatness. He changed his number to #18, so I got another Grbac jersey.
And then he left for Baltimore. My faith was rewarded with a big **** YOU!
Then we got Trent Green. Now, he was something else. Threw for a lot of yards and we scored a lot of points. So, I got HIS jersey. And he was awesome in the playoffs, even though we lost. Later on he got his brains scrambled and stuff, but he had a good run in KC. I told myself, if we ever get a QB like him again, I'll support that guy.
Anyway, instead we got Brodie Croyle, and he sucked. But he never gave me much reason to believe in him so no ****s given.
Anyway, we DID get this guy named Matt Cassel. And I watched his Patriots games. And thought he looked pretty cool. I was probably the #1 Cassel defender in 2009 around here. I figured, Cassel did pretty well for his first year starting, and if Scott Pioli traded for him, he knows what he's doing.
And then over the course of the next two seasons, my confidence in Cassel slowly started to erode. I began to see that he simply couldn't play the position, and was a huge liability. I was waiting for that big FU!, but then something happened. Cassel played better.
For a few games, he was a decent QB. He reminded me a little bit of Green. Put up some numbers, we went to the playoffs. I decided to take one last leap of faith. I drove hundreds of miles to go to the Chiefs playoff game against the Ravens.
And Cassel turned in the worst playoff game of any QB we've ever had play for this team. I left a playoff game EARLY that day. My faith was rewarded with a big **** YOU!
So, I took a look at some of Alex Smith's games. I asked some of your fellow 49ers fans about him. I researched his statistics. And after analyzing all this data, I've come to one final conclusion:
**** YOU!
