Third, it isn't just about this one game. A lot of us have been biting our tongues ever since we acquired Smith because he does not pass the eye test of being a good QB. His stat lines are padded with passes behind the line of scrimmage. He has no pocket awareness. He doesn't look downfield past the initial read. He repeatedly scrambles INTO defenders. He is inaccurate, often, especially on anything over 15 yards.
Our ranting isn't about the sky is falling and the season is over. We've just had enough. Look at the gifs Clay posted and tell me that is acceptable QB play. I dare you. I'm done holding my tongue and hoping Alex becomes the QB he has shown in flashes every now and then. It isn't going to happen. Ever. The guy is in year 4 of this offense and year 12 of his career. He is what he is, and it isn't good. I will continue to call for him to be benched until he is.

What drives me the most crazy is.. Unlike others, I don't think Alex is a bad qb when he wants to be good. Alex smith with his back against the wall has been pretty good. Other than Sundays shit show of course. But he waits to go down 2 scores to open this up. I've been hoping that a bad defense might force him into this mentality to begin games. But I've given up believing he will ever consistently be this qb.
His problems are mostly mental. And thats not going to change after 10 years.
