But you can't just rely on that. Ball carriers fumble. Bad special teams plays happen. Those are things that a QB can not control, and if your game is predicated upon eliminating those mistakes, you can still wind up in those situations even if you play mistake-free football. I, personally, would rather just rely on one guy (the QB) to be perfect than rely on the entire team to be perfect. It's easier that way. |

I'll say it.
I think Alex Smith can win "a" Superbowl. Much like Trent Dilfer or Mark Rypien or Brad Johnson or Jeff Hostetler or Doug Williams or Jim McMahon won "a" Superbowl. The trick is, I think you can say the same for more than half the QBs in the NFL right now, most of whom will never be in a Superbowl, much less win one. But I think if you put them in the right spot, give them an all world defense, an all world running game, and ask them not to **** it up, most of the QBs in the league are good enough to get the job done. But I don't think that's why they brought Alex Smith here. I don't think that's why they'd spend a pair of 2nd round picks on him. I think they believe he's one of the best QBs in the league, that he can be our Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. And that I just don't see. At least not so far. I haven't seen a guy who can carry a team, or who elevates the guys around him. I see a complementary player, one who won't lose you games (which is a good quality...) but one who probably won't win you many either, on his own volition. So I think, unless he really picks up his level of play, if this team becomes a real force, it won't be as much because he's behind center as it will be due to other factors. That's not to say he won't have his part, but I don't think he'll be the key that determines whether they're a perennial contender or not. Just my opinion. I'm not saying he's bad, but from what I've seen he's a 2nd tier guy at best. Hopefully Andy Reid finds a way to turn him into more. |

Back the ****ing truck up. I'm talking about Alex Smith.

Apparently if you don't have 1 of about 5 quarterbacks in the league you might as well just give up on the season because you're not going anywhere.

I for one am shocked that of the five guys listed there, 3 of them lost.
You have to go back to 2005 and 2002 to find two guys that actually won, but wasn't the most important player on offense. Thanks for making his point. |

And the Ravens planned on Rahim Moore doing what he did all along - totally to script.

See SF vs Seattle just 2 weeks ago. The greatest show on turf scored what 10 points to beat the Bucs in 2000 to go to the SB? |
