Pretty damn stupid to take a TEAM stat like this and judge the QB off of it. It may be a TEAM stat that involves only the games this particular QB played in... but it still involved a TEAM to determine such a stat.
Alex got the same type of receiver play in SF that he got from KC in last Sunday's game. Add in the remarkably potato coaching prior to Harbaugh... and the true reasons for such a stat become more clear. Even with Harbaugh, our offense was just beginning to evolve.
And no.. it also involves some blame for the QB... but when your receivers are not built to come from behind... when your gameplans are never designed around quick-score shoot-outs... when you never really had a good pass pro OL.... yeah... great recipe for coming back in high score games.
