Then in 2010, they finally upgrade the OL, but Anthony Davis had some rookie struggles (especially against us that year. We owned him).
2011 was the year the offense as a whole finally started to come together because of good coaching. But even then they had a few problems, like Adam Snyder and Chilo Rachal.
With that strong supporting cast, Alex Smith was top 10 in QBR the last 2 years, never threw INT's and had a good completion %.
I think we have a good enough roster on offense to help Alex maintain those numbers.

You really want to just erase 2005-2010, huh?
When they ran more than Smith threw during those horrible, bleak years, they were 14-4. When Smith threw more than they ran, they were 4-31.
