If he starts sucking I will say so, unlike you who can't let yourself be happy with a win.

Who says I'm not happy with the win? I'll even say that Alex Smith played pretty well in that game.
Alex Smith is simply a QB who will take the safe throw over the explosive throw every single time, even when the situations at the time call for the explosive throw. That's who he's been as a QB. Plain and simple.
If he wants to change now and NOT be that QB, I would love it. I think he would have a shot at being the top 10 kind of starting QB we need to seriously compete.
I have strong doubts that will happen, though. How many QBs start out their careers like Alex Smith and then just pick up and change QBing habits just like that when there's a change in coach, team, and/or surrounding players?
Drew Brees didn't change the way he plays the game when he went to New Orleans. Neither did Trent Green going from Wash to St. Louis to KC. MAYBE you can make the case for Michael Vick.
