Alex Smith did, does, and will always suck.

He took a lot of hits and secured the ball and didn't throw any picks while amazing almost 300 yards. Also, 2 td passes.

I'll take that all day.

This will of course get more interesting as time marches on and the competition becomes more challenging.

Dude

As time passes, he will develop chemistry with these receivers and backs and become more efficient than he is at the start of the season. Especially as the line gels as the season goes on.

It's not all doom and gloom.

I think he's a lot closer to Kerry than Christian, but he's certainly not Young, Manning, Brady etc...

Kerry might have been a HOF player if he didn't waste his first 6 years being a total ****ing idiot...

Our schedule is our friend.

We only play one division team in the first 9 weeks and that's Oakland.

And now, I am really liking some (newer to me) others like Poe, Sherman, Catapano, and loved Kelce as a prospect.

I was feeling the adrenaline that I feel from SF games in the last 2 Chiefs games.

Ha! So it's not just me... I DVR'd the game, and rushed home from my son's Pop Warner team picture day. I was cheering like it was the Niners. It feels quite strange, but I don't care. The Chiefs are doing EVERYTHING that I love about football. And I agree, I'm starting to like the other players on the team, Smith just happens to fit in with them perfectly.

Yeah man... it feels great on Sundays to look at the whole schedule and as I see a KC game at noon and a SF game later in the day. Usually, I am flipping around to multiple teams at noon and giving a **** about none of them.

All the same, I find what the Chiefs are building very similar to what SF did in 2011... and liking the players (and not one of them do I dislike) just easily makes them of interest to me. Add in a class QB like Smith, and I am in!

I have always been a fan of the NFL and more than one team while also keeping SF above the rest. I'm not one of these brain-washed by daddy kids that doesn't choose for myself. I have never been anywhere near the WC, and have no geological or other connection there.

GO NINERS !!!! GO CHIEFS !!!! Anyone got a problem with that? Eat a dick and GTFO.

Don't like you and have no interest in communicating with you... but I don't like the twisting of this.

First, I don't give a shit what Smith did or didn't do many years ago with garbage team and coaches. I respect trends for players in the NFL.

So that said, and judging off of the last 40 games of Smith with quality coaching....

There have been only a few games where it can be considered that Smith and his team fell behind by multiple scores, and he AND the team didn't respond with a brilliant comeback late in the game.

- 1 from 2011 @ Baltimore. (and every SF fan admits that NO ONE played well that night)

- 2 from 2012 @ Minnesota and vs the NYG
The Vikings really out-schemed and shocked us.. and pretty sure that Ponder had the best game of his shitty life. Late in the 3rd, Alex brought us back with a TD drive to close their lead to 4... but the Vikes scored yet another TD and forced our offense to start.. forcing things. It happens.

The NYG game got out of hand in the 2nd half, and Alex and his busted up middle finger did not respond well. It happens.

- 1 from 2010 @ SD (and every SF fan that even remembers that game should know that once again, NO ONE played well that game)


Now then, you add in all of the far more comeback wins... and then you have... well, what pretty much all good QBs deal with. A favorable mix of wins, comebacks, and failed comebacks.

The fact that the SF defense rarely allowed opponents to distance themselves? The reality that when teams rarely did? it caught us by surprise, as we were not a team ever built to come back from multiple deficits..


Aaaah whatever... let's just take the easy, thoughtless route and wail out "Alex is teh suxxorz!"

It's just much easier to be a simpleton instead of actually exercising the brain, so carry on...

This is where we differ. Can he? I guess so. Worse QB's have done it. Can he do it on a consistant basis like Trent Green? I highly doubt it.

I think I would feel better about the LONG TERM view of Alice if did what Vick did last week in a loss than what Alice did last week in a win. Of course I would rather win the game, but I would feel better going forward knowing that if and when things don't go perfect we are still able to overcome offensive turnovers, special teams TD's, and a shit day by the defense.

And of course if/when those things happen people will want to give Alice a pass if he didn't fumble, give up points, or miss a tackle on the return, but those things happen in football and you need a QB that can make up for it from time to time. Just like when Alice tanked in the NFC title game. Peope want to point to the ST fumble and ignore how bad Alice was that day when he stunk it up.

I've been thinking about the comparison between Smith/Green lately. I would take Smith over Green. I think Smith looks better throwing the ball. His passes have more zip and he is way more athletic. Not to take anything away from Green's successes, but Green had ridiculous talent surrounding him when he was playing at a high level. A few years prior to that, he was awful. There's still a long way to go, but I've been pleasantly surprised with Smith.
