He barely did jack but hand off, that was surely his lowest passing attempts per game of the year... he didnt throw a pick, thats about it if we want to be honest about it... yay Alex.

Does anyone blame Michael Jordan for the 26 game winning shots that he missed?

If you are a winner people forget your failures, and if you are a loser people dismiss your successes. It is just how it works.

Sure, sure.

It just wasn't much of a success. It was Alex being barely competent in a game the defense won. He had good timing, though.

Preferably for me it would be, OL in free agency, maybe a TE if Davis gets cut, Maybe a WR if price fits.

Then go BPA all the way down.
IMO FA OL have gotten too expensive. Same goes with WRs.

I can't see spending 4 million a year for a guard unless he is otherworldly and spending 8 per year for a WR is just as silly.

This draft has a lot of talent at those positions and the best bang for the buck is to use the draft for those spots.

Charles won that game, period.

Alex was lucky enough to hide from the Seahawks all game.

Well...Alex Smith while boring to us, wins games.

DAT's downfield blocking sealed the deal.

He was completely underused this past season, as was Wilson, which is why I no longer trust Reid and his merry band of offensive retreads.

They all stole a paycheck in 2014 and laughed all the way to the bank.

If they have to spend 4 mil per for a guard, do it and be done with it. Just fix it.

Same with the WR spot.

With Bowe, Hali, Berry coming off the books, they'll have money. Fasano, Devito, the same.

Yeah...10-12 in his last 22 here.

But when the not turning it over, comes at the expense of missing scoring chances, it starts to weigh the other way.
Exactly.

That's why it's imperative that they upgrade the WRs and OL significantly if they are going to give this plan of winning with Alex a real chance.


Can't give the guy that deal and then not relentlessly try to put the pieces around him that help him have every opportunity to have continued success.

Wasn't Wilson hurt or that was revealed after the year?

With the OL being what it was (fault that wherever) the fact that they were able to do what they were on offense surprised me.

Zero WR touchdowns

How is that possible

IIRC DAT was hurt

Maybe both of them were...also, the WCO especially Reid's version has a shit ton of plays to learn and it's very rare for rookie receivers to step right in to any WCO and produce.

The fact Wilson did towards the end was very promising.
