Bowes says we're going Deep /gonna blow up the scoreboard

[Messier]

I watched several Alex Smith games last year. He's more than slightly better than Cassel. To say you can't win unless you have the best D in football history is dumb. They could've won it with him in 2011. The 49er while really good, wasn't incredible, in fact they'd disappear for games, including the playoffs. Yet Smith nearly was a SB starting QB, and played well enough to get them there.

We'll just have to see if the last few years was a fluke, and only JH could get that out of Smith. I think his play will continue, but, we'll see.

If Joe Flacco can win a SB then why can't Alex Smith? I'd be glad to have a team built like the Ravens or 9ers. Neither Flacco or Kaepernick are Brady/Manning/Rogers.

Flacco willed them to the Super Bowl through his rocket arm in the Denver game.

If Alex ever makes ONE of those throws that Flacco did in last-second mode in a playoff game, I'll get off his ass and admit that it IS possible for him to win a Super Bowl with this Chiefs team.

You mean the play where the WR busted the coverage wide open and Flacco chucked up that Rainbow that was in the air forever and underthrown?

Does it have to be 70 yards? What if it's 15 yards? Will any last second throw to win a playoff game do?

No it has to be with no O line and the QB has to throw the length of the field and catch it too or he sucks!

It kind of does, yeah.

If your QB CAN make that throw, doesn't it make sense that when your team needs it, that's a HUGE advantage that can help you win?

How far can Alex Smith throw it? What do you think is his longest pass?

I'm guessing you didn't watch the Saints 9ers game in the play-offs?


I find it amusing all the people that think Alex can't throw the ball down field. You'd think they'd research things a little before spouting off. By the way, Take a look at his qbr on passes over 30 yards..compare to any qb you'd like...might find the results interesting.

Again:

Alex Smith has 3 300-yard games for HIS ENTIRE CAREER.

Flacco does that 6-7 times a SEASON.

No comparison.

Colin Kapernick has 1 300 yard game...it was in the superbowl. Didn't work out so well, did it?

Matt Cassel probably could have looked good against that Saints defense

He didn't look good this year against them

Neither are Brady/Manning, as you say, but both are better QBs than Smith.

Teams have to defend the entire field because of their ability to stretch defenses, and Kaepernick is far more versatile and dynamic.

I don't think Flacco is much better then Smith if at all. He has a stronger arm. Kaepernick hasn't even played a full seasons worth of games yet so I'm going to hold off before I anoint him at this point either. I'm no huge Alex Smith fan but I think narrative around here goes a little to far.
