I have been the biggest supporter of a true game management offense. I get the value of having a good game manager. Trust me, I've been a supporter of Eli where others have been down on him. I've also been very, very supportive of what Alex is TRYING to do.
Our third down conversion rate isn't going to improve appreciably if Alex insists on throwing 5 yards short of the sticks. Smith had an excellent OL in SF and his third down conversion rate there was also pretty bad. So how much do we think this is actually going to help him?
