Personal insults are no substitute for reality.
The NFL is not fantasy football. Talent is also about the offensive line.
What Alex Smith had in 2011 was not the OL of 2012-2013 that has the rep of best line in the NFL.

20. San Francisco 49ers (11th)
Run Rank 8th, Pass Rank 26th, Penalties Rank 18th
The 49ers line came in for more praise than it was due because of their dominance of the NFC West. While it does have plenty of talent and upside (particularly on the left), it’s a long way from delivering on it. They need to fix the problematic right guard spot, after Mr. Boom-or-Bust, Chilo Rachal (-8.2), was all bust this year. This line isn’t miles away from being very good, but it will need Anthony Davis (-15.0) to start playing more consistently.
Best Player: Since coming into the league, Mike Iupati (+9.6) has looked like he has belonged. A top talent.
Worst Player: You have to wonder about how bad the rest of the 49ers’ guards are in practice in that they’re forced to turn to Adam Snyder (-24.4).
