The ironic thing about Alex Smith under Harbaugh and Roman.
Alex Smiths strength PRIOR to 2011, was considered to be the red zone efficiency. For whatever reason, that was not present in 2011, didn't get much better in 2012. It does HOWEVER seem to be pretty good in KC. No?

You guys are ****ing idiots. They won 13 regular season games and a divisional playoff game that year.
Not turning it over in red zone is part of the reason why. |

The Packers have drafted more QBs in the first 3 rounds in the past 20 years than any other team, and they only needed two for that entire period. The Chiefs have drafted one in that time, and it was Brodie Croyle in the 3rd round. What are the two teams that have drafted more linemen in those rounds in that time? The Chiefs and Jaguars. If that, along with the stats on SB participating/winning QBs who were drafted in the first round, doesn't make it obvious enough, I don't know what else would. People can cherry pick to push their agenda, but the reality is there's an overwhelming trend that you need elite QB play to win hardware and if you find it, it'll most likely be in the first round of the draft, not on another team's bench (or from another team at all).

So far it looks like it could be about an average class, but it's waaaaaaaaay to early pretend we know what all those guys will be. |

It was worse than Singletary years. Smith wasn't the only guy on the field. It was a compound issue of the new system, WRs falling out of the lineup, too cute play-calling, running game could not get tough yards. 2011 49ers 82 rush attempts in the redzone AVG 2.1 2012 Falcons 81 rush attempts in the redzone AVG 2.2 Michael Turner and Jacquizz Rodgers were somehow better than Gore and the 49ers. 49ers were over 20% in the percentage of passes in the redzone that ended up as TDs in 2009 and 2010. The drop to 15% in 2011 goes beyond Alex Smith. It was actually 1 point worse than what Smith did in 2006. |

I've always hated the notion that it's forbidden to use a top 10 pick or 1.1 on someone because he's not projected to go there, or the notion of "x many GMs passed him, so he couldn't have been worth it".... not saying they should have taken Geno beyond a shadow of a doubt... whatever, they obviously already had a plan in place when they picked up Smith. But, had Rodgers gone 1.1, it's not like we can easily say that team would have regretted it (obviously, there are a lot of variables there... who knows how he would have developed in an inept organization). The notion that so-and-so is off limits because of where you are in the draft is pretty bogus. Fischer could be a dominating pro bowler for the next 15 years and he wouldn't ever come close to reaching the upside of a franchise QB. At least a team like the Jets, who have failed several times with high round picks (and maybe that's a sign for Geno ), are trying, and it's not like they've been any worse off for the past 40 years. /digress
