QB is still an issue for this team. Alex Smith is a better version of Matt Cassel. He doesn't throw the INT's that Cassel threw, he's a better runner, and better at reading a defense VS. Cassel. However, he does a lot of the same things Cassel used to do. Mainly the dink and dunk throws that aren't gong to get you sh*t.
Those are the throws that the defense wants you to make. It becomes really frustrating when it's third and long, and instead of throwing an 8-10 yard pass, he throws a 2-3 yard pass that is instantly covered by the defense. I also don't like how we are utilizing Jamaal Charles. Especially when it comes to running the football.
But our OL really isn't living up to expectations. Maybe thats because its a young group and they'll need more time to jell. But they really have to begin to perform better than they have. Giving up sacks on a 3 man rush like they did last week is inexcusable. It happened far too often. It it wasn't a sack, it was a 3 man rush that provided enough pressure to make Smith throw a bad pass or run for a yard or two. We need more out of the offense if we are going to win big games. We won't be playing the Jags and Eagles every week.
