Alex Smith did, does, and will always suck.

Is Brees hitting a wide open Fasano for a TD where as Alice misses him because of lack of "gelling", or lack of talent?

Fasano is not the fastest TE out there and has been plagued with injury all year. If you were wiser you would understand that there was a loss of "gelling/chemistry" because Fasano hasn't been practicing for the last couple of weeks and isn't playing at full health.

So Alice is missing wide open guys because of gelling, right?

This.


Completing a pass to a wide-open receiver is fundamental stuff. I don't know what Smith's problem is.

So Alice sees Fasano streaking wide open down the field, he's not able to judge how far to throw the ball based on the current speed Fasano is running? What if he doesn't get a clean release off the line? Is that an excuse to screw up missing a wide open pass because when he got a free release in practice he was able to get to "x" spot, but since he was jammed Alice can't adjust?

Every QB that has played at least 1 game has done all of what you mentioned. How can "gelling" ever get completed when the team hasn't even hit the field with all of the starters they planned on going in with this season?

Now, name 1 QB that has scored enough points to win every game against the opposing defense not named Alex Smith?

Alexcuse after alexcuse.

It's a good thing Jason Campbell wasn't gellin' or he would have completed every pass guys!

Let me put it like this. He rarely missed Vernon Davis on any kind of pass and over the last 3 seasons as a 49er I don't think Vernon Davis ever missed a game or practice due to injury.

You guys are probably right. Once the gelling is completed in 2-3 years, watch out. We gonna roll!

[Bearcat]

Well, most of you are more more objective and intelligent than Ripamaru, so there's that...

[loochy]

Are you gellin'?

I'm gellin' like a felon.

8 weeks, and we are 16th in efficiency. Is it that hard to believe we might just be 10th in 4 weeks? 7th in 8 weeks? Don't think top 10-12 is good enough to propel KC into a SB?

So, we wait.

In my opinion, what you have now is consistency. Conservative consistency. And you will probably have the good games when they are necessary. You will never have Aaron Rodgers throwing 30 to 40 or more TDs a season. If that's the kind of consistency you are waiting for, give it up, it ain't gonna happen.

I understand the frustration. Went through a season and a half of it myself. It's more fun to watch a game in which your offense is scoring lots of points, than a game in which you win by your D holding your opponent's score down. It's been great since CK took over, and 99% of Niners fans are happy about it.

On the other hand, the slinging it down the field all the time Mike Vick style and losing is much less fun. Or having incompetent coaching and sucking all around. No fun at all.

But 99% of us were about 1000% happier in 2011 and 2012 than we had been in the previous eight seasons.

Slinging it down the field is now referred to as "Mike Vick style"?
