The main reason alex is gone from SF is because of there GM over there whose named Baalke. He stated over and over that he didnt want alex because he wanted a QB HE would draft. He knows that if alex succeeded that baalke really had nothing to do with it. He didnt draft him, he didnt coach him, so what glory does he get? He drafted Kaep.. He wanted Kaep in there. And harbaugh and baalke are close..
I think its pre-mature to throw alex into the dirty simply because our previous qb matt cassel sucked.. If your going to sit there and ignore the 20-5 season(s) NFC champ apperance, outhrows Brees and say alex had nothing to do with it and it was everyone around him, then ill sit there and say the previous years the suckage had nothing to do with him and the problems were everyone around him...
See? goes both ways.

Yeah, Alex Smith just needed more weapons. That excuse was pretty popular with Cassel apologists too. The poor guy just had no talent around him. Well... bullshit. Good QBs make those around them better. Their performance isn't directly determined by those around them. Because that's indication that they're not a positive influence on their team. It indicates that they're very dependent on those around them. Which isn't a quality of a franchise QB.
And save the poor ol' mean GM against Alex Smith theory. That's laughable. GMs like winners, and those who improve their team. It's dependent on Smith's on field performance, not some imagined personal matter.
The only change in Alex Smith's performance is directly related to Jim Harbaugh. Who also gave up on him and traded him away.
