After Alex's 5 TD game, he went from 22nd last week in QB Rating to #10 this week. IN ONE WEEK. No moar Alex Smiff!

Most of their moves have been solid. It's just a shame that we lost so much to injury because I was pretty excited to see guys like Commings, Kelce and a couple others get out there and contribute. After leaving training camp, one of the most exciting things I came away with was getting to watch Alex and Kelce build some rapport. If he was able to stay healthy, he would be a difference maker right now. |

I have formed my own opinion - that it's not unfair to expect a QB who is good enough to win 11+ games win at least a playoff game. I'm asking, "why the double standard?" When Matt Ryan, as an example, loses a playoff game, no one gives a shit that he just happened to face Aaron Rodgers, who put up a ridiculously incredible performance against his defense. The majority of what you hear is, "well, he lost. He's a loser." Yet people want to put conditions on a potential Alex Smith playoff loss. |

I've said all along that I liked the hires for the reason you pointed out, but even though we obviously can't blame them for past failures and even though they should only do what's best for the future and not simply draft a QB to make some fans happy, none of that erases the years of frustration, the fact that we've not only seen the stop gap strategy over and over, but have also felt the same optimism for it, and the feeling that we've seen all of this before just leaves me apathetic about the whole thing. Yeah, I want to believe it's different THIS time and THIS regime really does know what they're doing and THIS draft was just the worst possible draft for QBs, etc. Like I said, from the day they traded for Smith through the first several weeks of the season, I was pretty apathetic about the whole thing, but I realize Dorsey and Reid and company came into this season just as blind as we were, and evaluating an NFL team isn't accomplished in a week or even half a season. Like you said in another post, we're really damn fickle around here, even though single games just don't mean much. "Trust" is stretching it, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt (what other choice is there?) until at worst they make it abundantly clear we're on the same ride we've always been on.

Same.
If anyone has been paying attention, I've backed off my criticism of Smith. Coincidentally, that has occurred at the exact time he actually started playing like a Top 10 QB. Shame on me for expecting a guy that we paid a premium for to continue that level of play in the playoffs. |
