Sometimes, when you're up a score...why force a ball rather than take a sack and just punt the ball away...especially when you have an elite defense?

There are just so many factors to statistics...

again, to me...Alex Smith lies somewhere between Trent Dilfer and Trent Green. He also lies somewhere between way ahead and way way ahead of Matt Cassel.

When everything goes well you get 2010 Matt Cassel. To me that is Matt Cassel's ceiling. That's what I thought his ceiling was when we acquired him. Alex Smith's 2011 isn't that different from Matt Cassel's 2010. Smith might be a little more consistent, might have a little higher ceiling. But if you push him like Reid's offense will, I think he could crack. I don't think he will blossom in to a top 8 QB.
