Well clearly you are unimpressed with Alex Smith. But let me ask you this. Lets say that it was Alex Smith up in Minnesota right now, instead of Cassel.

Do you think that there would be a qb competition going on? That is what is going on right now. Matt Cassel, and Christian Ponder are competing for the job.

Alex Smith would be the clear cut starter right now today. Not even close.

That's all im saying. Alex SMith is not all world. But, its more an illustration of how bad Matt Cassel, at his root, really is.

Now, first, realize that I am trying to have a productive football conversation with you. Not a pissing contest. Do you think that Alex's Paltry receiving numbers are more a reflection on him, or a reflection on need?

Some how, even with Alex Smith averaging less than 200 yards per game, the 49ers still managed to go 20-5-1 in Jim Harbaughs 2 seasons.

He also attempted the least amount of passes in the league. Do you think there could be a correlation between winning, and need that dictated how many times he HAD to throw?

I understand the concern when you look at the numbers. Its not like though that his numbers were bad, like at all. They just weren't plentiful.

When you break it down, and realize what the strength of the 49ers is, even today, its the run game, the 49ers oline is a much better run blocking oline, than a pass line. They have stellar running backs, the receivers are mediocre, but they also have a great defense, and one of the best punters in football.

There isn't much need to put up 250 yards a game passing when you have the number one rushing attack in football.

Tyler Bray with a risky throw. Threads the needle between two defenders. Behind Demetrius Harris. Drops the pass. #Chiefs

Dorsey likes Tyler Bray's physical tools. Says he still has a lot to learn. Wants him to work on footwork in the pocket...

He said he saw him as a first round pick that fell because of ball security and if he can get that sorted out, he has a chance to be a star.

I said a couple times at camp that I was very impressed with the kid and that he resembled Bo Jackson in many ways with the speed and power he hits the hole with.

how do you "thread the needle" yet throw behind the TE.

He won't be Morris with JC here.

Yes, they played to their strengths and that wasn't Alex Smith of course. If they knew they could put up plenty of points with Alex without turning the ball over they would have done so.

Had to play to the strengths of the team in 2011. Coming off the lockout, no training camp, new coaching staff. Had to baby the offense. Couldn't go head to head with teams they faced. I understand what you are saying. But the offensive talent on that 2011 team, was just not very good outside of Frank, and Vernon.....
