on this point we'll just have to agree to disagree and re: the gannon discussion if I remember correctly, he was signed by the Raiders as a FA, he didn't cost them anything, so it's really not a straight comparison i'd give much less of a shit about Smith if he were free

This. I really don't care as much about not stretching the field if he keeps doing this. Where he has to improve is he HAS to get much better in the red zone and he had better learn to be nails in the clutch. If he does those two things, I'm actually okay with Alex Smith (and I'm not necessarily a big fan). But it's seeming more and more that offenses who can play efficient offense make their defense better.

We had 5 trips to the red zone before last Thursday's game, and we had 5 TD's. We were bound to not score a TD on every trip in there. |

Against Seattle, Kaep turned the ball over 4 times.. 3 of them were on the short side of the field... 2 INTs were returned inside the 25 and inside the 5. Against the Colts, the D held Indy to 13 points through 50 minutes of the game... but the SF offense couldn't do shit.

Teams like the Saints and Packers, they usually run the ball less than 20 times. Both were outside the top 20 in rushing attempts in 2012. |

Still needs SOME time to click with his new receivers. He has to learn their subtleties. His accuracy greatly improved in SF because he learned that each receiver had strengths and weaknesses in their catch radius. So he knew that some targets needed to be thrown to with more touch and to the body... others showed that they could snatch the stronger outside passes.

Andy Reid is 78-12 when his teams are on the right side of turnovers. While I think the Chiefs paid too much for Smith he was the best option for this year.

Yup. I'm not a big Alex Smith fan. But I think people have the misperception that you have to run a Drew Brees offense to be successful, and that's just not at all the case. The Ravens and the Giants are examples of teams that tend to be really difficult to stop in the playoffs, and they do it by playing efficiently. These guys do similar things as Alex Smith does, but they can also make big plays (when needed) and are the definition of a game manager, where within reason they can take what the defense gives them (which means being able to shoot out, if needed).

So, about those 28+ points you'll need when going up against the Mannings and Rodgers of the world, are you more comfortable relying on your offense or defense to get them? Assuming you know the purpose of each and picked offense, are you going to rely more on a run/short pass game or stretching the field? And like you said, it's not like 'stretching the field' means every drive or whatever... but, it does mean taking chances. You can call those offenses efficient or whatever... and they certainly aren't DV-style offense.... but, the QBs still put up elite numbers and you have to get the points somehow.
