I'm truly at the point where I can't tell if you're trolling or you really don't understand a ****ing goddamned thing about the game of football.

Greg Cosell agrees that Alex Smith lost the NFCC game against the Giants.


"While Williams publicly shouldered the burden of defeat, it was his quarterback who failed to deliver on the promise..."

These are just a few examples of Smith’s tentative and uncertain pocket play last Sunday. The bottom line was this: Smith was reluctant to let it loose on routes and throws that were not only well designed, but were open. They were primary reads. No progressions were involved.

One of the attributes that separates high level quarterback play in big games and critical moments is the willingness to make stick throws into smaller windows. Smith did that with confidence against the Saints. In the NFC Championship game, he was hesitant and cautious on throws that were clearly defined. Simply put, Smith left a lot of plays on the field against the Giants. While Williams publicly shouldered the burden of defeat, it was his quarterback who failed to deliver on the promise he had shown a week earlier.
