If you look at that play where JC wasn't looking for the ball on the pass, Bowe was on an out and up and would have been open... the chemistry needed to throw it at the right time and taking that kind of shot is needed at times (granted, he dropped the next ball thrown to him). We got a taste of that in the 2nd half, with Smith taking some chances, which is promising.

Look, I think you're spot on. But I think you're being way too generous in how other people are talking about the idea offense for us. I personally think the Alex Smith we saw in Philly and against the Giants is one that can take us places. But I want to see it against elite defenses. There are a gajillion people on this board that don't think it's good enough, because they want something more explosive versus an unsexy game management philosophy.
