49ers still playing which makes them feel good about letting Smith walk. No matter what we say, Smith will always be compared to Kaepernick.

:clap::clap::clap::clap:

That and there is real alternative right now. No big name on the trade block or will hit FA and who knows where Bray is in his development.

Extention is going to happen. We all knew that deep down, but some people dont were holding out. As long as we dont pull the shit we did with Trent Green and have Todd ****ing Collins type of back up (which we kinda do) we should be ok. We know they arent drafting anyone this off season. Its going to be the same 3 amigos at qb.

If its a team loss now (and I agree, it is), why wasn't it team wins when we won? When we were winning, Smith doubters kept claiming it was the defense and defense only as to why we were winning. But now all games are either team wins or team losses?

This is what I wanted to come yesterday during the discussion.

I'm worried they are going to give Alex too much, I really hope they don't hamstring the team.

The way Roger Godell has changed the NFL he's made QB the most important reason in a teams success year in and year out.

Fans know that we wont get anywhere with Alex Smith. He may win a play off game or 2, but thats it. Thats his ceiling.

We are trying to win the Superbowl the Hardest way possible. In all reality its more then likely impossible with how the game of football is played today and how defense are hamstrung. You never see tough fought 10-7 games anymore. Its a damned rare that it happens. I remmber when i was young if you scored 30 or more points, you were like damn, someone got their ass kicked. Today 30 points is nothing.

You know you could flip flop that and make the same point, right?

If they were to sign Alex Smith to a 5year 5 million dollar deal they are hamstrung. Its kind of hard to pull away from Alex now though. They back themselves into a corner. Its gonna be more of the same once play offs come.

What a stupid thing to say.. "the fans know" huh? The very same fans that thought Smith would be average at best and fail miserably down the stretch.. the same fans that thought Alex couldn't play well without KC's "stellar" defense and having JC on the field...

and on and on, it goes.... The sheer arrogance of fans and their absolutes.. :facepalm:

Maybe they will wait to see how next year goes.

I make my Assumptions based on history and the rules laid down by the NFL today. Letslook at the hard facts here. Since 1992 all but 3 qb's have been Elite. I guess we can put Flacco in the 3 qb's that arent elite. Though he's getting paid like he's elite. Well every qb that has won a superbowl that isnt on them 3 teams is going to the hall of fame. Its pretty staggering.

Go down the line from Mannings, to Favre, Troy Aikmen, Steve Young, John Elway, Tom Brady, Drew Brees Aaron Rodgers, Big Ben, Kurt Warner (yep, he's gonna get in too). All hall of famers. 2 of them teams that won it 2000 ravens and the 2003 buc's had all WORLD all time great defenses.

Defense is pretty none existent in the NFL now due to all the rule changes. So yeah, good luck. Yes, lets just callit arrogance. Lets not look at the cold hard facts that no one can deny.

If you look at the gif that ChiefsOsfan provided, it wasn't a perfect throw. It was a little behind him, causing Bowe to have to contort.
Bowe is also to blame, he should have been able to make the difficult catch and drag his foot being a #1 receiver.

Both the D and the O went to shit in the second half.

like I said right after the play...


it was on all three players.

bowe was too close to the sideline, the db made a play and pushed him more that way, smith threw the ball a little behind him and outside.

see the thing is I'm not talking about one play, I'm refering to the whole 2nd half.
