Alex Smith > Cassel....it's a start

Never saw Cassel do any of this shit...

We upgraded from the 4th best qb in the division to the 4 best qb in the division

[In58men]

Are you fucking kidding me?

[Sorter]

Gotta love threads by pete

[Dante84]

ugh

[-King-]

Why the fuck was the goal to get better than Cassel? God our standards are low.

[petegz28]

Hey guys, I am just trying to dig some positive out of it. It is a rather nice thought that we might actually have a QB that throws the ball for more than 2 yards, regardless....

just trying to turn a frown upside down

[dirk digler]

Please stop

[Cannibal]

Some nice throws there. But if you watch it, there is a very consistent theme, nearly all throws were to the first receiving option. Smith has trouble staying in under pressure with rushers in his face. He's slow at making decisions.

[-King-]

Except he averages less yards a game, less touchdowns a game, and more INTs a game.

Other than that, he's great.

[Cannibal]

Just like Cassel

[petegz28]

Except he averages less yards a game, less touchdowns a game, and more INTs a game.

better than Cassel, 1000 points of light, stay the course...

I'm trying, man.....I want to to believe this was a good move....I really, really, really want too....:cuss:

You are right we have upgraded from Cassel throwing 2yds to Smith who can throw about 4 yds. SB BABY!

[Smed1065]

Ever see his stat? Like games for 300 or more yards? Over 20 yard passes?

Better than a pile of shit at QB is not good when giving away picks like candy on Halloween.

Hitting receivers in stride? MMMMMMM...why didn't we try that before?:banghead:

You could probably find highlights from 2010 or 2008 of Matt Cassel that could compare to that.

[Rooskieflooskie]

Cassel has better stats in almost every category than Smith. Cassel has had as many 400 yard games as smith has 300, 3. A big whopping 3 300 yard games in 75 starts. Chiefs fans take it like battered women. Smith was surround by piles of talent and will now be surrounded by piles of shit. I hate every person I interact with who has the nerve to even think smith is better than cassel. True fans have actually convinced themselves Smith is worthy of starting,. its a fuckig fail!!!

[WildTurkey]

We WILL be the first team to win a Superbowl with a QB that we traded for that was someone elses backup. It was Lamar Hunts dream that never got fulfilled and Clark is here to make sure the dream lives on.

The packers won a Super Bowl with Brett Favre who was backup in Atlanta his rookie year. Matt Hasselbeck ,Mark Brunell and Rich Gannon were successful after being backups as well. Three of those guys were coached by Reid while he was in Green Bay so maybe there is hope. Probably not though.

[Hammock Parties]

ok, asshole, we got it

Listen carefully Pete.

When Alex Smith helps this team beat the Raiders or the Chargers this year....you know, shitty teams...when that happens....don't go praising him.

Do that for me. We learned you good the last four years so you should know the difference between good and bad now.

In fact just do me a favor and don't say ANYTHING NICE about ALEX FUCKING SMITH until he throws for AT LEAST 250 yards in a game.

Just WAIT UNTIL HE DOES THAT.

[Rooskieflooskie]

The only piece of shit bigger than cassel is Alex smith because he was taken #1 overall

[Red Brooklyn]

We upgraded from the 4th best qb in the division to the 4 best qb in the division
Would you trade A. Smith for Palmer straight up?

Not being snarky, I'm honestly curious.

[Rooskieflooskie]

Palmer is better than Smith.

[confused]

Would you trade A. Smith for Palmer straight up?

Not being snarky, I'm honestly curious.

Depends. Aaron Smith in the Chiefs defense would be dominant. If Palmer is in his prime, you have to take an elite QB over a DE.

[Ming the Merciless]

Also palmer might be less than 9 million

[RFatChicksPeople2?]

49er fan here. Alex Smith isn't that bad. And if you look at the stats, from the point of the Eagles game and when Singletary was fired, Alex Smith has been pretty damn decent. With or without Harbaugh.

He was a young spread option QB with limited experience under center who was under the thumb of two ignorant defense minded head coaches. Compared to the fact that two of the greatest 'QB Gurus' have taken chances on Alex Smith now.

So the NFL has multiple years on the spread/pistol option that gave RGIII, Wilson, and Kap a leg up. And I doubt any new QB is going to have the same scheme bridge they had. I understand if you were pumped about there mere potential of Geno (or Barkley... if you're on that hill billy heroine), but give it some time to see what you have in Alex Smith. He didn't marry a cheer leader for his long bombs, but he can diagnose the blitz, read defenses, and create some defense saving drives.

[#1 Bronco's Fan]

Hey guys, I am just trying to dig some positive out of it. It is a rather nice thought that we might actually have a QB that throws the ball for more than 2 yards, regardless....

just trying to turn a frown upside down

Matt Cassel - 58.9 completion %, 13,495 yards, 82 TD, 57 INT, 24 Fumbles, 80.4 Passer Rating

Alex Smith - 59.3 completion %, 14,280 yards, 81 TD, 63 INT, 36 Fumbles, 79.1 Passer Rating

Smith actually fumbles the ball mor ethan Cassel? Wow that is hard to believe.

[Hammock Parties]

Your franchise hasn't drafted a QB that has won a single game in 26 years. This year is an extremely weak QB draft class. I'm sorry, but did any of you watch Geno's entire season?

You're getting a young, healthy, starting caliber QB who has been to the playoffs recently. He is top-tier against the rush, can diagnose defense better than anyone, but he can't throw a perfect touch on the deep ball.

How exactly are you guys so entitled?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

The guy who can't go through his progressions can diagnose defenses now.

Healthy, huh? How many times has Alex Smith started a full slate of games in his NFL career?

Fuck him, I already hate this guy more than Matt Cassel, and I didn't think that was possible.

[Molitoth]

Yeah, we have watched 3 years of geno smith win games despite one of the worst defenses in college football.

He's a great prospect, and anyone that fails to see that puts way too much emphasis on the pinstripe bowl.

I'm honestly not here to comfort or console you fans. Wishing AIDs and shit on people? The death of Andy Reid's next kid? Y'all are pieces of shit for all I'm concerned. It'd actually be amusing for you all to sweat for 2-3 more months, and maybe even have it take a handful of weeks for Alex to adjust through preseason.

But I'll go ahead and say this again. Alex is a top 15 QB. Easy. He's a well played veteran at 29 and will work extremely well with Andy Reid. At this point he's a more athletic Peyton Manning. I hope you don't believe it, because the trade is going to go through, and it'll be great to see y'all sweat.

Throw to first option, check down, or run.

But seriously... he's better than Cassel. Probably better than Orton. We'll win games with him. But we all know for damn sure it isn't enough.

It's idiotic the shit some people are saying. Cassel was horrible and this guy is worse but somehow people think he is better. I just dont get it. The niners win half of the games Smith started last year if smith never throws a single td. The guy won because his team won. He has like 6 wins vs teams over 500 in the last 2 years and one of those came against the Steelers 20-3 where rapingloser threw 3 ints.

It's actually 5. Before Dave Krieg they had Deberg who was also the Niners backup. Deberg replaced Jaworski who was an over the hill washed up Eagles backup.

[Ace Gunner]

5 year starters;

smith = 46 wins, 58%

cassel = 29 wins, 36% (19 wins, 30% if you subtract the 10 as a patriot taking over a perfect 18-0 team)

[HotCarl]

A lot of those receivers were wide open, but one thing you take away from that video is that his accuracy is a huge step up from Cassel, especially beyond 10 yards. Smith's arm is at least respectable, though certainly his arm strength is not elite, you could call it average NFL arm strength, IMO. His mobility and pocket presence are certainly better and will be an asset.

My main concern with Alex Smith is his ability to stay healthy. He was sacked a ton of times in those lackluster seasons in SF, and I think we will be able to protect him better.

It is a start.

you guys are insane. Alex smith is way better than cassel and alex is still barely good. Cassel is the last qb i'd take out of the 32 startesr last year.

Most of the arguments against smith such as the middle stats all hinge on the years more than 3 years ago before there was any competent coaching in SF, when a carousel of coordinators and systems was spinning.

I'll use his stats over the last two seasons.

In Alice Smith's last 2 seasons he has thrown for over 300yds once. He has thrown for over 250yds just five times. TERRIBLE. Matt Cassel has done better.

Last season he had a "amazing" 70% completion rate. He only threw the ball over 10yds 43 times compared to MATT FUCKING CASSEL'S 96!

ALICE SMITH IS NOTHING!

There are only two statistical categories where Alice is superior to Matt Cassel, wins(product of his team), and INT's(Cassel had one historically bad year).

Trying to tell me Alice is better than Matt b/c he throws less INT's is like telling me I'm better off hiring a pedophile than a child murderer to babysit my kid b/c when I get home my kid won't be dead...FUCK YOU!

You are so consumed with the size of the throw. he doesnt turn the ball over. your weak qbs turned the ball over 29 times. 29!!!!! If you cant equate how not turning the ball over leads to success, then i cant help you. I wouldnt expect a turd with Ricky Stanzi in his signature to fully grasp the positives that alex smith can bring. yay, matt cassell chucks the ball down the field. GREAT. how did that work out for him? Alex Smith gets the ball into his play makers hands. thats why he was second in the league in YARDS PER ATTEMPT........

Smith fumbles more than Cassel does.

I'll use his stats over the last two seasons.

In Alice Smith's last 2 seasons he has thrown for over 300yds once. He has thrown for over 250yds just five times. TERRIBLE. Matt Cassel has done better.

Last season he had a "amazing" 70% completion rate. He only threw the ball over 10yds 43 times compared to MATT ****ING CASSEL'S 96!

ALICE SMITH IS NOTHING!

There are only two statistical categories where Alice is superior to Matt Cassel, wins(product of his team), and INT's(Cassel had one historically bad year).

Trying to tell me Alice is better than Matt b/c he throws less INT's is like telling me I'm better off hiring a pedophile than a child murderer to babysit my kid b/c when I get home my kid won't be dead...**** YOU!

He only threw the ball over 10 yards 43 times? Wow. Then I have to ask how many games did he play? I know he got injured and Kapernick took over for the remainder. But yeah, those 300 yard game figures and wins record against good teams is a little scary. I'm still holding out hope that we draft a QB to groom.

Smith fumbles more than Cassel does.

Ok, honest question; are you comparing 8 years of stats (Smith) to 4 years of stats (Cassel)?

[heathramos]

Alex Smith is better than Cassel but he did have a great oline and solid running game in SF.

I think the KC will win more games with him next year if they use him right.

He needs a strong running game and play action in order to be effective.

If Reid passes a hundred times a game, he will get killed and will turn the ball over.

As far as the amount of yards he has thrown, they will obviously be low if your offense is based off the run game and you play with a lead. If you are behind all the time, your attempts and yards go up.

Of course that probably means his interception numbers are lower as a result as well.

So to all the people who think Cassel and Smith are the same QB, you guys actually believe Cassel could have led the 2011 49'ers to a muffed punt away from the SB?

LMAO Thats what you are saying.

...and again. Better than Cassel does not equal good.

[DeezNutz]

Over/under on the number of games that Smith plays next year?

CP line is 12.

That entire video was dinking and dunking. Were we supposed to be impressed? Somewhere some slapdick on a Bills board is compiling a Cassel highlight reel from '10 pimping him as a legit option. Never saw Fitzy do this!!

[King_Chief_Fan]

Never saw Cassel do any of this shit...

Thank the lord the NFL is headed towards a league that emphasizes running the football and utilizing play-action instead of passes down the field. Woooo!
