Wow. Okay, I was definitely open to you being open. But after this? and the seeming reality that I never really see you post this much in other threads?

I think we all know where you are at now... which is fine.. but at least it's pretty clear now. Just wow. 21-5 winning % is pointless... and just about any QB can protect the ball, make smart decisions, and make the throws when most needed.... okay... that's just super.

Well he does have a 2-27-1 record when the other team scores 24 or more so the track record isn't good when the other side put up some points. Let's hope that changes.

another look at career stats... w/o regard to this team's past coaching and personnel misery... w/o regard to the way the 49ers were built... and that they were very ill suited in the first place to come back from large deficits...

Oh, we have a special kind of morning so far. :doh!:

Alexcuses 101 Teach it professor.

The chiefs are not built to overcome a 3 score deficit in the 4th quarter either...

It would seem that way, but I think it could be a little early to say that with any certainty.

Translation our quarterback sucks.

Alex Smith- 25-26, 42 yards, 2 td's, 1 int.

Well, I didn't say it was completely pointless, I said it was pointless when trying to determine if a quarterback is capable of a deep playoff run/winning hardware. It's really no different than what I've been saying all along to those who think the past two games really matter. 18 of those 21 wins came against teams that didn't get past the first round of the playoffs, and in 2011, the NFCW and NFCE were possibly the worst divisions in the league (outside of SF). Those 18 wins just aren't all that relevant to the discussion we've been having for the past 2 weeks, just like Cassel's 10 wins that included several games against the two worst divisions in 2010 didn't matter when he went up against the Ravens in the playoffs. As far as those 21 wins, the Saints playoff game obviously matters, as does beating the Packers.... those are the games he can hang his hat on and say he has what it takes to beat the big boys.

I also didn't say 'just about any QB'... I said at least half of all starting QBs. Smith had the 9th best QB rating in 2011 and 6 other guys were within about 5 points of that... 19th in yards, 17th in TDs, but pretty efficient... so yeah, I don't think it's stretch to say any QB with an ~85 rating (half the league) could do about as well as a guy who ended up with a 90 rating. Cassel, who some say is clearly an inferior QB, had almost identical stats in 2010.

It happens but how many times a year does a team come back from three scores down? How many teams are built to come from three scores down? Three score down they're laughing and drinking and having a party!

Yes, since Kaepernick is 4-3-1 when the opposing teams scores 24 or more already. That's crazy. 80+ games for Alice to win 2. 10 games for Kaep to win 4.

What team is, especially in the 4th quarter?

If they were ever faced with that, it would be interesting to see how they would attack it. They have WRs with speed that would probably get more targets, so who knows.

Avery - 4.27
Jenkins - 4.37

What is the threshold for not sucking?

Seems there are 2 categories for QBs here: Suck and Elite.

The point being that we don't have a confident and quick strike passing offense yet.

It might happen this season. Who knows. Right now though I don't see us getting down big and being a quick strike offense like the Packers/Donks/Saints/Falcons/Lions...

The Falcons, Broncos, Saints, Packers, maybe the Patriots once their WR's come around.
