Ryan also puts up numbers.

He's the best QB that franchise has ever had.

WITH Elite receivers and talent.

Have you SEEN them this year? He's ****ing awful, as is the team.

I swear to ****ING GOD, there's no way you watch NFL football.

Seriously.

His playoff performance last year is what makes him more than a notch above Smith. Yes, they are. But the discussion doesn't involve them. Or at least I understood that the comparison being discussed was simply between Flacco and Smith. And let's face it, Alex Smith isn't even close to being in that category, with the Brees' and Brady's of the world.

Like I said: a guy is allowed to have a down year.

I bet the Falcons are back to their winning ways next season.

only time clay watches the nlf is when the mailman ia turning his moms mouth into a daycare.

Alex Smith's playoff game against the Saints is up there with any of Flacco's games in the playoffs. IMO Smith would have won back to back Super Bowls if not for the shitty luck he had against the Giants and his injury against the Rams.

Flacco's wasn't "a game". It was four, half of them on the road (and a third on a neutral field), with the "worst" being a 240 yard, 3 TD performance in Foxboro in the AFC championship game. He beat Andrew Luck, he beat Peyton Manning in Denver, he beat Tom Brady in New England and he beat Colin Kaepernick in the title game. 1140 yards and 11 TDs in total, for a team that was basically, on paper, overmatched in every single game they played.

Alexcuses

I would pay lots of money to spend a night with your Avatar.

If Alex Smith wins us a Super Bowl, I would have no ****ing problem with giving him the contract the Ravens gave Flacco. No reservations at all.

It is true and you posted it yourself wherein we laughed at you. See here:

/BB/showpost.php?p=10144592&postcount=8173

You were showing how Alex was league bottom at 9.7% attempts and failed to notice Tom Brady during his historic 5000 yard season was at 9.8%. You also failed to notice Alex was 5% more accurate downfield than Brady.

Face it, your "OMG WE GOTTA GET A QB WHO THROWS IS LOONNNNGG" theory is full of crap. Like or hate Alex Smith all you want, but deep ball attempts is not the issue. Data is pretty incontrovertible that you don't need to throw deep to have a prolific offense.

No. 5.7%.

Please get it right.

And no, you don't NEED it, but it is a huge asset. And in Alex's case, he sucks at everything anyway.

The game Sunday will be the first real test for Alex Smith in relation to if we can advance in the playoffs with him.

He needs to stay calm and move the offense against a defense that we should be sble to move the ball and score points on...and we will NEED to.

I honestly think that if the offense can give us 24 points, we will win. I just doubt they can.

So, when Matt Ryan is surrounded by average perimeter talent, it's okay that he sucks.

Got it.

:rolleyes:

I wouldn't say he sucks.
