Alex is not the reason this team is 9-0. But he is part of the reason that this team is 9-0. He's not making the mistakes to lose that game that the QBS this team has had in the past have made even with a good defense. That's why he has won so many games over the last 3 years. He doesn't do things to lose the games. |

Ok, he has only thrown for 300+ yards 3 times.
In looking I also found that he's thrown for 100-199 yards in 42 games (out of 89 total games played) & he's thrown for 200-299 yards 35 times. He's also on pace for more games of 200+ yards passing in one season. |

Now check out the # of times he's thrown 3 TDs. 0 games of 4 TDs of course. I mean **** even Cassel did that.

Evolve current plays to tweak them against an opponent and exploit a specific area? Sure. Install new things as the season goes on (typically based on your team's strengths and weaknesses? Sure. But put stuff in that's part of your playbook and purposely sit on it this far into the season, especially while playing a bunch of close games? No, not really. At least not any coach I've ever spoken to. I know it's a common fan thought, that coaches hold things back for long periods of time, but my experience is that coaches find the thought they'd hold back something good that could help them win to be funny.

Make sure you update your sig after the bye this weekend. Of the 5 guys between Alex Smith and the top 10, only one has yet to have a bye week.
There are also three players within 150 or less passing yards of Smith who have already had their bye weeks. Maybe you should see if he'll revise and let you use top 15!

Just that the idea that teams put stuff in early and sit on it for months is faulty. Most "wrinkles" that get put in are things that are developed fresh, after in-season film study. I am sure - and this is not based on opinion, this is based on talking to coaches and scouts and reporters and other football people as part of my job - of that.

And why in the merry blue **** would we be "holding back" plays when can't even execute the plays we have now? Hmm?
