I have to concur with BossChief that all of 49er fans that I know are happy that Harbaugh is gone.

Be careful what you wish for...

True.

The ones that pine for Smith are definitely morons.

IMO if the Chiefs add 2 starting guards, 2 WRs that can get separation, mix in the right veteran here and there, this team can make a run at the Super Bowl NEXT YEAR.

We were already better than SD (really should be on a 4 win streak against them if it weren't for ref BS in the 2013 finale and ijiratutu catching that miracle td) and Denver is obviously rebuilding. Oakland isn't going anywhere.

We already showed we could beat NE and anyone else in their division.

Pittsburgh was beatable.

I think we have more talent than the Ravens.

Cincy?

Indy?

I think with a few upgrades and a strong draft class, we can be in position to beat any team in the AFC in the playoffs if Andy can get Alex to trust everyone (most importantly himself) we can beat ANYONE.

(Even ourselves)

Clearly we know different 49ers fans. I lived there for 6 years and have a lot of friends there, and there are a lot of 49ers fans here in Hawaii. None of the ones I know are happy he is gone. Most of them aren't happy Smith is gone either.

Coming from you that is very ironic....

Do you think bowe plays "money for nothing" on repeat at loud volume?

Alex Smiths mobility and unwillingness to buy time to make big throws (instead choosing to tuck n run quickly) is what made DCs blitz him more and more and caused a lot of those problems.

Can't blitz guys that make you pay by hitting you deep.

Nobody respected our ability to throw deep, so they blitzed safeties and corners on us constantly.

That made the job of the OL harder and harder as the year wore on.

It exposed a weakness that might gave been hidden better if a alex "took what the defense gave him" which a lot of the time was the deep ball.

CLUTCH GENE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harbaugh was hated with the power of 27 Marty Schottenheimers in the Bay Area.

Nobody liked his attitude and almost everyone I know up there was glad to see him go.

It's silly, but true.

Does that not speak to you in some kind of profound way?

It does me, its so uniquely awful that I cant help but pay attention.

Alex Smith takes sacks because of his style.

Matt Ryan has been sacked 188 times in his career while throwing 3916 passes

Alex Smith has been sacked 280 times and has only attempted 3149 passes in his career.
