The irony of this. The last game, actual game, he was everything that people are saying that he isn't. Carry on.

You can keep hanging on the last game all you want, but the fact of the matter is, the last game was not indicative of Alex's career. It is one example. It happens every blue moon.

The play that was posted as a gif in recent pages is actually one of the most impressive plays I have ever seen out of Alex. He avoids pressure by stepping up in the pocked....all while keeping his eyes downfield....and throws a perfect strike to a wide open Avery. Great play.

Unfortunately, this doesnt happen very often. Id say that you could count the number of times in his career he did this on one hand....but it would be more accurate to say that you could count them on a peace sign.

I dont play Madden (or FF for that matter), so the Madden or fantasy football excuse doesnt fly with me like you and other Alex fans like to use as a crutch.

Yes, I am well aware that a QB has to go through progressions. I played football. I also find the whole "he goes through progressions and he may have moved on from the WR before he popped open" as an excuse as well. When you have WR's running longer routes, they are almost never the first read. More often than not, the progression goes middle route, long route, check down/short route (unless its a quick hitch or slant or something like that).

So for Alex to have "moved to another progression before the long route becomes open" is really nonsense. There are many examples every game where Alex is looking at an open receiver, and chooses the MORE open receiver for a minimal gain because it is a virtually risk free pass. My problem is, if Alex is as accurate as some claim, the pass attempt that he decided to pass up should NOT be deemed risky. Its not about "taking chances" as "Sandy Cheeks" says. Alex's overly cautious playing has trained you to think that.

Wrong. I am not "closed off to anything regarding Smith." I simply choose not to acknowledge some of the excuses made for Alex as facts. You talk about going through progressions. There isnt a coach in the world, let alone offensive minded coaches like Harbaugh or Reid, that would make a longer, stretch play the first read of a progression. So to hang on the "Alex probably moved onto another progression before he broke open" excuse makes no sense. Zero.
