Sure, he may go out there and play a shit game - in which case we lose and he played a huge part of it. It doesn't mean he's a shitty QB, it means he's a slightly above average QB that had a bad game at a bad time.
If he has a great game and takes us to a win - he's not a better QB; he just played a great game.
So why are folks still eager to say that the playoff game will be dispositive of who the guy is as a QB? Tom Brady's playoff losses don't define who he is as a QB, nor do his wins - the guy's just a great QB. Same story with Brees, Rodgers, etc...
Mark Sanchez's playoff wins don't define who he is as a QB - he's a shitty QB. Same with Tim Tebow and Jake Delhomme.
Alex Smith is who he is. At this point we have to hope he goes out and plays a good game when we need him to, but in the end it doesn't really change who he is. He's a solid QB that is capable of playing good games and capable of playing bad ones. We just need to hope the bad ones don't come in the post-season.

Well, because everyone needs answers and they need them now. It's all black and white. Bets depend on it. People argue this shit for
months and need to know if they won. And you think this has to do with
football?!?
Seriously though, spot on... I was amused at the reactions to the losses. We've known what this team was and how Alex Smith fit at the end of September, or maybe sooner. We discussed for 2+ months that the team could win some games but probably couldn't beat the high scoring offenses, which was fine because 2-14, of course... then they lose a couple to a couple of high scoring offenses and suddenly everything has changed!
If people are tired of talking about Alex Smith now, just wait until the playoff game is over... either way, holy shit, this place is going to be really crazy.
