It essentially limits your mistakes. As much as we all want dynamic great offenses, in the playoffs, mistakes (turnovers) will get you beat more times than not because of the level of teams you are playing at that time.
You also have to be able to put the ball in the endzone though, and up to this point, thats not something we have excelled at. So until we do, its all just talk.

I am with you. LIke I said, what separates Eli and Big Ben from Alex Smith is that I have complete confidence that Eli and Big Ben will consistently come through whenever a big play is asked for. I don't know if Smith can. He did big time against Philly, but we need to see it more consistently. And his lack of big play potential makes it a little harder for him to do it, versus a guy like Big Ben. But you know what? He deserves that shot and while he wasn't stellar in his first playoff run, he did put his team in a position to win both games.
