Both of those QB's have been on their teams for awhile and playing with their main targets for years. Who happen to be top 10 in their positions WR and TE. Try again.

Old ass Gates and whatever receiver isn't injured this week? Royal is back this week! Elite! LMAO

(I do believe that there was at least some truth to that).

Look at Kaepernick, they had to go back to smash mouth football because of 2 things. The offensive passing scheme sucks and so do his 2nd and 3rd string WRs. Now that teams are doubling Boldin and paying more attention to Vernon Davis, his gel is worse than Alex's. They're basically in the same situation, having limited good targets to throw to. I think Kaep's targets are by far better than KC's but Alex is doing better statically and in the win column.

doesn't sound so smart from a hindsight perspective.

About 31 attempts per game in 2010. About 27 attempts per game in 2011.

I wouldn't consider that a huge cut back, especially when you consider that ST was giving us a really short field pretty much the entire season.

Anquan Boldin has more yards at this point this year than he did last year with Flacco and is on pace for a 1,000 yard season.

And that's with teams keying on both of these guys. And without a number 1 or 2/3 receiving option. (Whatever Manningham is)

That's hard to do.

This is getting silly and childish, talking as if Alex is holding this O back.

Please, if you don't know jack about football maybe it would be wise of some in here to go back to just playing Madden.

This WHOLE O is learning a new system. If not for Alex, this O would be far worse off and the team nowhere near 8-0.

They are only 8 games in people. This is not a video game. All 11 guys must learn a huge playbook and know it front and back and then on top of that know what each other is gonna do for every dam situation that can come up in a game. ITS NOT EASY AND WILL TAKE TIME.

Like I've said before, the greatest qb of all time, who happened to run this O, said it takes over 2 whole years for a O to run like a well oiled machine.

Whatever, done with you trolls who haven't got jack but crying all the time.

10% fewer is significant and Alice has a marginal improvement in numbers. What about from 11 to 12?
