Prior to today, he had flashes of excellence, but today was a more fulsome body of high-quality work; he was a major reason for the dismantling of NY.

I honestly believe that had you seen Smith as many times as I have the past few years, you wouldn't have been nearly as disapproving of the trade or acquisition of Alex Smith.

It's somewhat shocking to me how my comments about Smith were dismissed.

I give him an A honestly. With the oline he's got and how they're performing and his WR core. Not trying to be a homer but he's done well enough

I was gonna say "C" but a lot of posts persuaded me -- I'll say a B.

[Ace Gunner]

I had seats right next to the "QB cabinet" where he goes to put the helmet down. The QB group & OC, everyone congregates there -- the cabinet might house the puter/printer where they get copies from camera shots upstairs.

He's a cool cucumber, I think his disposition helped the offense today, particularly the receivers, who had a shoddy day.

Amid that stretch where Avery kept dropping passes, Smiff just stayed focused and silently, kept asking these guys to stick it out. When Smiff had a poor pass, he just seemed like the same guy, kind of thing. I see why league circles claim he's a tough minded, smart player. He doesn't get rattled.

4400 total yard pace....holy ****

Could be.

I haven't been dismissive of you or your comments, but I simply disagreed with them based on my perception of the player. Naturally, I might end up being wrong. Won't be the first time for that.

I wasn't trying to single you out: There are have been people that *seemed* to respect my opinion in the past that completely dismissed my opinion of Smith.

[PGM]

He has been a hell of alot more than a game manager. Andy has put the games in his hands.

[Mavericks Ace]

There was a large misinterpretation of who Alex Smith the qb was.

Glad to see that some people are starting to see what I saw. Maybe some day I wont be that guy who followed a mediocre qb to another teams message board lol.

Dude you weren't alone. I pegged all offseason what kind of team this would be.
