Even if they had never seen a single play that Alex Smith had made in his career, this is what they heard and feared. A guy who takes too many sacks, fails under pressure, and can lock on to receivers.

personally, I think he is still thinking too much, and he doesn't have much trust in his receivers yet. I think that will come, but that game against the 49ers was hideous at best. And even the Alex guys like you me and mac have to agree with that, and I think we do.

I believe you may be right. One of my biggest concerns was how quickly he can absorb the playbook and make it his. He did it in 2011..so he should be able to do it this time also...
