Does this team have an internal QB controversy?

That sounds to me like they did a fantastic job, not that they are "in shambles."

They're usually solid in pass pro, but are Charmin soft run blockers

'Shambles' is going too far, but they are badly lacking in one key area, and its having an effect on the entire offense

Half of our run game problems are BECAUSE of Alex Smith. Defenses don't respect him. Run cover 2 and load the box. That's how you stop our offense.

Aside from the Broncos and Steelers games, that Charmin soft run blocking has done just fine.

I'll split the difference with you here, because Pesty has a valid point

But 3.7 ypc and 4.1 ypc vs Houston, Dallas and NY respectively is no great shakes, and I wouldnt put those numbers on Hunt... also don't forget our short yardage and goal line woes

The run blocking, while not our biggest problem... sure isn't helping, either

I hear you. 4.1 YPC is certainly nothing to write home about. But when you are averaging 3.7-4.1 YPC, on average you are getting first downs every 3 plays. That is definitely fine enough for a functional offense.
