The expectations were no where near the same. When we drafted Alex it was, "Ok we're not where we wanna be, let's draft a piece to get us back into contention." That was the thinking, but obviously (for WHATEVER REASON) that didn't happen. When Kaep came in? Get to the Super Bowl. That was it. There were no Super Bowl Expectations Alex's first year. We won 2 games the year before. Kaepernick was under a lot of pressure too. So while I agree that Kaep had a steadier organization, because of that there was more pressure to win immediately. Like, he literally had to make plays from the second he stepped on the field. |

But you're presuming that McCluster was his first read. If he wasn't, then he wouldn't have been looking that way at the top of his drop. At that point we get back to him really only having that narrow window when the GIF pauses that I think throwing that ball is a good idea. EDIT: Boy, as I watch the GIF, either Smith is damn clever with his eyes or McCluster wasn't his first read. He looks to be the third option in this play, to be honest. I don't think Smith did anything wrong by not firing that in right at the top of his drop - McCluster doesn't appear to have been his first read so expecting him to hit him right as he gets to the top of his drop ignores those progressionsn.

Doesn't matter because Alex does not even have the athletic ability to even hold Kaep's jock.

No, he does not.
He sounds like a QB we got rid of 20 years ago in Steve DeBerg. Matt Cassel's problem wasn't an unwillingness to throw the football, it was an inability to throw the football. Even when he let it go, the damn thing missed its mark by several yards.

We keep talking about this guy like he's going to be great, but when Ryan Lilja slides over and is a massive improvement on you during your 2nd season in the NFL, you're not off to a great start. I just don't see it in Hudson. He gets abused entirely too often and there's nothing that will destroy a play like interior pressure.

Says the guy who repeatedly takes stuff from the Chiefs board back to the 49ers board. you have, absolutely no room to talk.

No, he is doing just fine. Sucks that he choked away the SB comeback in the end though. He should be really good, but it is yet to be seen how well he can diagnose defenses... or if he can keep fame from turning him into a prick or convict.
