LNBS: Can Alex Smith be "Fixed"?

Fix the line. Bring in some decent WR's and then judge. If the offense doesn't improve tremendously with Smith at center then I'll concede. But until then, it's all bullshit. We went 3 huge steps backward on what was already considered to be a patchwork OL. Our shitty WR core actually got shittier when we lost Avery for most of the year... And all anyone around here can do is bitch about Smith?

Can Smith be fixed? Smith is not the problem. Fix the line. Fix the WR. if the offense still struggles, then look at the QB, not before.

You'll get your wish. I seriously doubt that they go into next season without improving both the offensive line and wide receiver positions. And if/when he fails.....it will be another year of wasting the talent that we have.
