Fail for 7 years? I saw a guy walk onto a team with no contract, teach the team the offense, then baby that same offense to a 13-3 record. No real training camp. He himself paid for the training facility at which he taught the offense, got the players together.
THe entire organization failed for 6 years. Alex Smith and the 49ers succeeded the last two. Thats why i said that having an input from 49er fans who saw the difference from playing under defensive minded head coaches like a romeo crennell, in mike nolan, and mike singletary, to the difference for playing for a offensive minded head coach in harbs, and now andy reid, they are light and day differences. Alex Smith will not have a problem playing for you guys, and i unlike most, dont look at andy reids history with qbs throwing all the time to be the determining factor. He will adjust to alex smith because alex smith will tell him what he is and isnt comfortable with, and they will adjust. Thats what good coaches do, and andy reid is a great offensive coach.
