No, Alex is playing a wise and patient game. He will work with what he has.. in his own way.. until the decision-makers bring in real talent to throw to and real talent to pass block.

Answer something... where would you and others categorize our OL corps? Bottom 5, right? How about the collection of WRs? bottom 5, right?

So what in the hell do you really expect a good but not great QB to do with that? and which other QBs could do more with this?

A wise and patient game? What's wise about never audibling into a hot route to relieve the all-out blitzes that we see all the time?

Our WRs are not bottom 5....and neither is the offensive line.

It's probably by design. There are in fact systems that do not allow the QB to audible out.

Rivers wasn't allowed to audible out of a play when Norv was his HC.

IIRC, Trent Green wasn't allowed to audible out during the DV era.

Eh.....you sure 'bout that.....I think a pretty strong argument can be made that our O-line is most certainly a bottom feeder.

So...what you're saying is our $17 mil a year high football IQ QB can't be trusted to audible into plays that high school QBs are allowed to audible into. SWEET!

Hoyer has done more with his bottom 5 group of WR's than Smith has. Before, Gordon returned.

Hawkins 52 receptions for 718 yards and 2 TDs. (longest 65 yards)
Austin 47 receptions for 568 yards and 2 TDs.
Gabriel 30 receptions for 540 yards and 1 TD. (longest 70 yards).

A bad QB able to find some poor WRs.
