Wrong. They started throwing it deep more when Kaepernick came in the game. Almost twice as much.

You mean when Jim change the O for Kaepernick?

You do know that the 49ers O doesn't call for a lot of deep balls right?

You mean when Jim change the O for Kaepernick?

What the hell are you arguing?

"The 49ers offense didn't call for a lot of deep balls. It's not Alex's fault."

then

"They started calling for more deep balls when they changed their offense for a QB who can hit deep passes."

What say????

Shaun Hill- Alex had a serious shoulder injury, team was 2-1. Was out the rest of the year. But many pin that season on Alex somehow.
JTO-Alex had a wire sawing into his bone(same injury from year prior. Dr. Andrews admitted surgery didn't fix problem. Obviously when a wire was sawing through the bone) This is preseason, Alex had another surgery to fix the problem and it did. Was out all year.
Troy Smith- Alex had a concussion I think(some injury) and David Carr came in and couldn't even finish the game Alex had the lead in against the Panthers. This was game 5. Thus Troy. Alex retained his job back when healthy. This is the year Alex nearly beat the defending champion Saints in game two. Had a game tying 8, yes the two point conversion, point drive to tie 20 comeback against the SB champion Packers. Only problem was defense didn't let our offense back onto the field the last 7 minutes of the game. Since he's been back and started the team has been something like 24-8. Since that point I think Alex was one of the winningest Qb's in the NFL since he came back in for Troy.
CK-Concussion, had his team 6-2. Collin Kaepernick is just the better QB. CK made it to the SB. Had a chance to have A POSSIBLE elite, not good/sometimes great QB.

That's what I say. Not once due to poor play.

He did. He went after Matt hasselbeck who went to Titans because he thought Niners line was bad because Smith takes so many sacks.

Then Harbaugh traded up for Kaepernick.

The Harbaugh went after Peyton Manning.

Basically, Smith was a good filler while Harbaugh found his guy and Harbaugh took evrey opportunity to replace Smith.

Almost not quite..the shoulder was good to go, enter Shaun Hill...Sing benched Alex for boring play..JTO Mike Martz was OC and him and Nolin announced JTO starting ,, hey good try....Alex Smith was not concussed..

Pretty much. Singleterry put in Troy Smith in a critical game to make the playoffs.

The Alex Smith Nutt Huggers will say, "hahaha mike singletery, he sucked."

But Alex's best season statstically was with Singleterry before Harbaugh arrived. But that credit goes to Alex Smith and then QB coach Mike Johnson, who was promoted to OC after Singleterry fired Jimmy Raye.

Smith is responsible for 2 coaches and several OCs getting fired.

Yes. Kaepernick was playing in spot duties early in the year. I'm not talking about random plays. I'm talking about highly clutch situations in the early parts of game.

For instance, he cane in against the JEts in the redzone when we were tied 0-0 and scored a TD.

This move was coming. It was just a matter of time.

MOOT POINT Colin was breathing down his back and it was obvious Alex was a stopgap to begin with =cause the Ninerz had nobody on the roster (and Alex was paid handsomely despite benchins and lack of talent 54 million )other than Kaep that could possibly take over the starting job..it is obvious the FO wanted to see return on the investment so start Smith...bear in mind the Ninerz have talent in all areas.

Kaep looked bad in the limited time he had last year. Harbaugh experimented with Kaep early in the year when Smith was looking like...well.. Smith...

Kaep played in spots and eventually came in due to injury. Harbaugh was highly bashed for this move, even by the 49er fans. But it was the right one.

Do you guys really feel like any Qb can really come in and make a difference? If so then who? By reports it seems like the organization and many others don't see Geno as a true #1 pick. Do you waste the pick just because you need a QB? Or do you draft somebody that you feel makes your team better in the long run?

Alex Smith weather you like it or not is/was the best QB out there. Taking a chance on Alex for what he brings to the table i think is worth the chance. If he doesn't work out then cut him. Make a effort at QB next year, maybe even draft someone this year.

Again you guys were 2-14. It's not like you guys are going to be contenders out of the blue, but with Alex there is at least a chance. You seem to have some talented players, and can add more with the number 1 pick(maybe more via trade), and 3 3rd rounders if I'm not mistaken. You also have free agents you can sign. Not to mention a decent/good HC(Very QB friendly just as Harbaugh).

Can Alex come in and get you guys to the playoffs? I dunno. I do think he can at least come in and lay the foundation for you guys. Be a leader in the locker room and not give games away with turnovers. I personally think he is a great fit, and even if he doesn't work out I think what he adds to a team that needs stability.

Paying a 2nd rounder for at the very least a decent "stop-gap", is a big risk, but at the same time it's worth what he will bring.

Geno Smith has the greater upside for long term success yes take Geno Smith. It's not hard to see that Geno Smith has the tallent and skills and the want to be great in him.

:facepalm:

Weakness

Production has never matched efficiency either in total yards or in total touchdowns.

His desire to be “perfect” and to be mistake free, leads to excess caution, resulting in missed passing opportunities and excessive sacks. He is so committed to ball security, he won't throw into traffic even when he could throw receivers open. This condition is magnified on 3rd and long. He is just dedicated to not throwing the interception on 3rd and long.

Conservative, cautious player bordering on paranoid to make mistakes, which limits his upside. No risk = no reward.

He lacks killer instinct. He doesn't display that ruthless drive to attack and destroy. He plays not to lose rather than playing to win.

He is not strong armed. I still think this goes back to his shoulder injury in 2007 when he missed about 2 years, not playing again until mid-season 2009.

Not good going through progressions. He tends to check down if his 1st read is not open.

Lacks field vision, often misses seeing the open receiver unless it is his 1st read. Still won’t throw it unless the receiver is open.

Can’t throw into a window. Worse still, he won’t throw into a window. Often, the mere close proximity of a DB on a WR causes Alex to throw to a closer target with more separation or to check down.

yea, hes better than Cassel in the sense that he has a high enough football IQ to know what he sucks at and is self aware of his physical limitations with his noodle arm, and thus refuses to try and make tight throws that separate the men from the boys at the position. he's gun shy from all his failures in the NFL

but that also enables him to be really good at being an efficient game manager and hes kind of accepted that role as the "best current game manager in the NFL" and we just have to hope we catch some "Trent Dilfer once in every 15-20 years lightning in a bottle crap QB to the Super Bowl with really really good positional play" type effect here

Alex 3:16

Alex Smith is 3-16 as a starter when asked to throw 35+ times. Andy Reid's Eagles threw the ball 35.7 times per game over the past 4 years.

You guys are seriously underestimating Alex. He can be a great quarterback. Is he one right now? no but he was and is an ascending player before he got hurt. He only recently got everything going in terms of being healthy and having a competent coach/players around him. In those two years his improvement accelerated and we have yet to see his ceiling. It's almost as if his rookie year started in 2011. so give him a chance. I could see him throwing 30 tds 10 int and 4000 yards this season.

Yeah, he had great OCs like JIMMY RAYE and Mike Johnson...

One year, he was injured and his HC Mike Nolan questioned his toughness in re: to playing through the injury. Smith went back in the game, blew out his shoulder and went to IR. He's had total dogshit coaching his entire career except for one year with Norv his 2nd season (which got Norv FAT paid in SD, on account of how good Alex played) and then those 2 seasons with Harbaugh.

Singletary and Nolan were both dogshit coaches who had dogshit regimes and dogshit coaching staffs.

It was one of the very few games i got to watch when i was deployed. Went to sleep when the 49ers were down 21-0 behind shaun hill at half time against the texans, woke up for my shift found out alex smith had come in at half time and went crazy in the second half.

So, you keep talking about shaun hill, but the truth is, when Mike Singletary got out of the way, let jimmy raye use alex correctly, the second half of the 2009 season, was probably the most prolific of alex smiths career.

Of course the interesting thing is that the "good" Alex Smith over the last two years averaged 22.4 PPG (taking out the half he played in St. Louis, in which he only produed 7 points, but we'll let that slide) when you take out defensive and special teams scores.

So the 49ers improved their offense only slightly the last two years...basically Alex was good for another FG a game...but their defense improved greatly...which is why they won.

Wrong. Everything improved. First, and the most important thing that improved, was field position. We also with having a top ranked defense, had a top ranked special teams and led the league in field goal position, which also while helping the defense, hurt the offense. THey had a shorter field to go.

Yes, the offense was the achilles heel to the 49ers, like the defense was to the packers, saints, and pats. All of the TALENT on the 49ers, is on the defensive side of the ball.

Try it this way.

Justin Smith, Top 3 De, NaVarro Bowman, Top 3 ilb, patrick willis, top inside backer, aldon smith, top 5 rusher, both safeties made the pro bowl.

the only thing that compares to that on the offense side is they had a top 10 tight end, a top 10 running back, and a top 5 oline. THe majority of the talent, is ON THE DEFENSE. Especially in 2011.......

Tebow at least had the religious angle. That was sort of understandable. What does Alex have other than being from Utah? Maybe Utah explains it - they do grow some crazies there.

I just want Clay to tell me how Alex Smith sucks when PFF, his bible, ranked him as a top 10 QB in 2011.

So Geno would be classified as suck if he was never a top 5 NFL QB?

So we expect Geno to be a top 5 QB from the get go?

Got it.

And yet he didn't sign him for free when Alex was a free agent last year and Andy was desperate for a QB. Yeah that dog don't hunt.

Andy wasn't desperate for a quarterback last year. He was only one year in a that 100 million dollar deal he signed Vick to.

Alex Smith was top 10 in 2012? Interesting, to say the least.

He also had the #7 overall QBR last year, too.

no, #8 in 2011

he was on pace to be #12 (I think) in 2012...right behind Matt Schaub

but let me just say the elite QB's score 40+

Alex Smith at #8 in 2011 was at like 17.5

Russell Wilson scored a 40 this year. Peyton Manning led the league with like a 55.

it is basically like this:

60
50
45
45
40
25
20
18
18
15

Joe Flacco has been worse than Alex Smith in both 2011 and 2012 according to PFF.

I think Flacco was lower than Smith for 16 games in a cumulative rating system when Alex only played 8 games.

I'm going to keep beating my chest about Joe Flacco. That dude just isn't worth the money he was paid. If I were the Ravens, I would have shipped him out for a king's ransom, avoided that contract like the plague, and then taken that king's ransom and shipped half of it to KC to move up to take Geno #1.

it would mean jack if he hadn't been on the same pace he held for an entire year in 2011

he maintained that pace for an entire 2011 and then for the first half of 2012...

common sense tells you he'd probably would have continued straight on that pace for the final 8 games had he not been injured

of course I don't think PFF takes into account he had the easiest job in football last year since his defense was so good and he was never really asked to win games...just not to make stupid throws.

so we know Alex Smith is good at managing games and not losing games...

can he win games though? That I don't think he can do.

But I didn't think Trent Green could either, so...that's why I think he can be like Trent Green.

if the Chiefs can field the top defense in the AFC Alex Smith can, at the very least, get us to the AFC Championship game.

That much is fact.

Now can the defense do that? I doubt it. They have the talent...but do they have that fearless leader? We need Eric Berry to be our enforcer. If Berry can take that step, we could have an elite defense. I think DJ is too quiet.

In 2004, Trent Green threw 60 passes over 21 yards in the air. 227 passes that traveled in the air 11 or more yards.

In Alex Smiths best year (2011) he only threw 36 passes over 21 yards in the air. 117 passes over 11 yards in the air.

Basically, Trent owns Alex Smith in every way.

The Coryell offense has ALWAYS been about throwing the ball downfield, whether it was Dan Fouts or Kurt Warner or Trent Green, etc. and so on.

The WCO envisioned by Bill Walsh is about short and intermediate passing and getting the ball into the hands of the receivers, who in turn make the plays.

Shocking new information.

It's a false argument that Alex Smith is a better short passer than Matt Cassel.


2010 Matt Cassel

64.3% 1-10 yards
52.2% 11-20 yards

Total accuracy, 1-20 yards: 60.06%

TD: 19
INT: 5
YPA: 7.65



2011 Alex Smith

63.2% 1-10 yards
54.3% 11-20 yards

Total accuracy, 1-20 yards: 61.027 %

TD: 13
INT: 4
YPA: 7.05


So Alex is 1 percent better, but that 1 percent is less productive in terms of yards and touchdowns.

I don't recall saying it was a DEEP pass, that's what made it all the more shocking. It was a relative easy pass for him, and he missed Jennings by 5 yards, by him self, in the end zone. It wasn't a point to illustrate that Aaron Rodgers is a bad qb, obviously hes one of the top 3 in the league. It was to illustrate that EVERY qb makes bad passes. I saw peyton manning throw 3 passes against Atlanta last season, and all three were picks.......

You know. That's a good point. I live in Packer country. Any time there is a drop, they blame the Wr's. No matter how tough the catch would of been. ON the 49ers board last year, every drop, was something Alex Smith did, even if the pass was placed well.

Lol, you'd expect an NFL QB to be throwing lasers out there, especially in practice with no heat. Had Houston, who was pictured, been on his ass I might expect a little wobble. But that wobble puts a ball off target and reduces velocity and in a game that is a pick.

Of course Alex is going to throw a lot of 0-9 yard routes, he also threw a lot of 10-19 yard routes, most throws in the NFL are from 1-19 yards. That is the majority of passes made.

To throw deep, you have to have someone to throw deep to.

Your client is GUILTY of defrauding the Kansas City Chiefs out of two second-round draft picks and giving false hope to a starving, ignorant fan base.

The sentence is lifetime incarceration in a federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison. The same one we sent Bono to.

For the record, this is why nobody can ever really trust anything Clay says.

Alex Smith, when he throws deep, actually slotted in directly behind Russel Wilson last year and directly ahead of Matt Ryan.

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/picture.php?albumid=106&pictureid=1386

He didn't throw many of them because he missed a great deal of the season and frankly, he just doesn't throw deep often.

But Clay continues to swear that his stats say he "CAN'T" throw downfield and that's simply not true. His stats say he hasn't, thrown downfield with much frequency but when he does, he's been very successful at it. In 2011 he did qualify for the list when he played a full season and was ranked 12 in deep passing %; ahead of Schaub, Rivers, Palmer and Brady (in that order):

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/picture.php?albumid=106&pictureid=1390

Never forget this folks - Clay has nothing in the way of analysis of his own to offer - absolutely nothing. He's a troll. He's a damn good one, but still a troll. His 'insight' is restricted exclusive to his PFF account and frankly, he'll manipulate that data to whatever degree he can.

Notice he didn't upload this table:

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/picture.php?albumid=106&pictureid=1387

Because saying that Alex Smith was the best Play Action passer in football last year doesn't fit his narrative.

Or this table:

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/picture.php?albumid=106&pictureid=1389

Because how would it help him piss and moan about the impending suck that is Alex Smith if you point out that the dude was balls-on accurate in 2012?

Or even this one?

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/picture.php?albumid=106&pictureid=1388

Because hey - when even his holy grail of all things football, PFF, creates its own proprietary stat that also suggests that Alex Smith was really good at playing QB last year...well hey, how could that possibly be relevant?

Clay is a lying, manipulative troll with very little actual football knowledge of his own to offer.

It's important that everyone realizes that. He can make cool gifs. He can make interesting graphics. On a keyboard, he's a handy little shit.

A) I disagree that you can't win without flinging it downfield 80+ times.
B) I don't believe that will be the case with the 2013 version of Alex Smith.

He's a credible NFL quarterback. He isn't a star, he isn't Christian Ponder. I take umbrage with your high-handed insistence that you're just 'putting out the numbers for you rubes' when in fact that's certainly not the case.

You're absolutely putting forward numbers that fit your narrative and unquestionably manipulating them as you see fit.

There is nothing in Alex Smith's recent history to suggest that he can't be a good downfield passer. Or at least an competent one. There is plenty to suggest that he hasn't been asked to do it. And there is stat after stat that can be presented to show that, while downfield passing may even be a weakness of Smith's, there are a ton of things he does extremely well.

But you ignore them. Always. Because you desperately want this guy to fail so you can claim victory.

Alex Smith is in that Matt Schaub tier of decent quarterbacks. Yes, he did suck. No, he does not presently suck and yes, there is ample reason to believe he will not suck in the future.

Smith's actually going to be a very interesting case study for me.

Last year, when I was watching Joe Flacco mis-fire on every other pass, be it 8 yards or 40 yards downfield, I realized that guys with erratic accuracy like Flacco and Eli Manning should be firing the ball downfield. Afterall, if you're going to miss on your pass, you might as well have some risk/reward for your efforts and if its picked, its no worse than a punt.

But if you're a really accurate passer, especially in the short and intermediate zones, long passes aren't necessarily needed.

Alex Smith's yards per attempt over the last 2 years bear that out. His accuracy was so sharp that he was averaging more yards per attempt than virtually every QB in the league. He was, by any measure, a successful and productive NFL QB despite not pushing the ball downfield.

And as the efficiency numbers and yes, the highlight clips show, Smith does have that club in his bag. He doesn't have a cannon, but he's absolutely capable of making a precise, well-timed, on target deep throw. I don't know why you keep saying "can't" when the operative word really is only "hasn't". We've seen the skill-set and the numbers support it - Alex Smith can be an above average downfield passer, IMO.

But if you can sit there and throw it through a swinging tire over and over again at 12 yards, a short passing game is probably the better way to utilize those skills. Whereas if you're someone like Flacco who isn't going to be much better on short passes than long ones, then firing the thing downfield is the most efficient use of your talents.

You can find a lot of instances of him doing a really nice job of dropping the ball into closing windows and onto his receivers hands.

What he's not going to do, and what he shouldn't try to do, is rifle a ball into a tight window. His arm's not that strong; it'll get batted away. And his pass diagrams suggest that he's smart enough to know that. You're right in that he doesn't try those Stafford throws into small windows...because that would be quite stupid for Alex Smith.

But he absolutely will go over top of a WR and try to drop the ball into a hole in the coverage. And when he does, he's actually pretty good at it.

I won't try to guess raw numbers because I truly have no idea what Reid's going to do with this offense. But in Smith we're going to get an efficient passer that's smart with the ball and works with the strengths of his personnel. In other words, he's not going to be Jake Plummer; nothing in his career suggests that he'd be that kind of wild card.

You know who he really could be, though? Jeff Garcia. Garcia was athletic, smart with the ball and didn't force the issue but when he had an opening downfield, he took it. He disguised his average NFL arm strength through scrambling when needed and through making smart decisions with the ball. He was a very solid NFL QB that had his teams in legitimate SB contention on a fair occasion.

I think that's a very fair bar to set for Alex Smith.

Smith's actually going to be a very interesting case study for me.

Last year, when I was watching Joe Flacco mis-fire on every other pass, be it 8 yards or 40 yards downfield, I realized that guys with erratic accuracy like Flacco and Eli Manning should be firing the ball downfield. Afterall, if you're going to miss on your pass, you might as well have some risk/reward for your efforts and if its picked, its no worse than a punt.

But if you're a really accurate passer, especially in the short and intermediate zones, long passes aren't necessarily needed.

Alex Smith's yards per attempt over the last 2 years bear that out. His accuracy was so sharp that he was averaging more yards per attempt than virtually every QB in the league. He was, by any measure, a successful and productive NFL QB despite not pushing the ball downfield.

And as the efficiency numbers and yes, the highlight clips show, Smith does have that club in his bag. He doesn't have a cannon, but he's absolutely capable of making a precise, well-timed, on target deep throw. I don't know why you keep saying "can't" when the operative word really is only "hasn't". We've seen the skill-set and the numbers support it - Alex Smith can be an above average downfield passer, IMO.

But if you can sit there and throw it through a swinging tire over and over again at 12 yards, a short passing game is probably the better way to utilize those skills. Whereas if you're someone like Flacco who isn't going to be much better on short passes than long ones, then firing the thing downfield is the most efficient use of your talents.

Good post. What you also have to look out for is if Alex smith is running a short passing game or a check off dump off game. That concerns me more than the deep ball. I don't know that he takes enough chances and that leads to him holding on to the ball or too often checking down. You don't want him to be Brett favre but he has to be more willing to take chances.

God you are slow. The conversation is that Brady and Manning throw as % more intermediate to short passes.

Remember the last couple of seasons the 2 TE's in NE?????

Nevermind the fact that Welker was #1 in the league for YAC or that Thomas was #4....

Ding Dong doesn't seem to realize that when you put the ball on the money in short and intermediate throws your WRs can turn those into 20+ yard completions. You know, Welker goes deep soooo often yet he had 13 20+ yard receptions last year and Thomas had 29.

Its like there is a Bat Signal when something is said about Alex Smith that all of the Alex Smith Dicksuckers just swarm to.

Solid insight.

By all means, offer any sort of substantive discourse whenever you'd like.
