Well you skipped around some stuff. Alex's numbers are compiled over consecutive seasons.
Cassel's best 2 consecutive seasons combined = 14 wins and 16 losses, either way you go with it. Not a valid comparison in any way shape or form. |

I could spend hours going back through and fill pages of hate filled post toward Alex- but that won't change anything. There will always be one more thing to knock him on. I am done with this miserable thread-the negativity is unbearable.

Its valid if you're comparing their 2 best seasons. I never stated they were consecutive nor was that a requisite.

As is, I find it hard to disagree that the offense will need to be better in the playoffs. Such a new team coming together... why wouldn't a fan with any shred of optimism expect that the offense can grow, gel, evolve, etc. into an offense that can better assist the defense in beating playoff teams?

Cassel 2008 and 2010 = 21-11 which is a 52% win rate. Alex Smith 2011 and 2012 = 19-5-1 which is a 76% win rate. Since Alex played fewer games in 2012 we can throw in 2013's 3-0 start of you like. ![]() |

Second, I'm not sure why you are only mentioning 3 of his 13 starts. Third, he's throwing 59% with 13 TD and 7 INT over those 13 starts, with 631 yards rushing and 5 rushing TD's. I don't think any of that equals a 13 PPG game swing. In the 29 starts we keep referencing for Alex, you know how many times the defense gave up more than 24 points? Three times. Know how many times it's happened in Kap's 13 starts? SEVEN. You're going to blame that on 7 INT's over 13 games? |

How many times do you want to argue the same points? I'm usually spent after the first several times. And not to move the goal posts, but I've mentioned it several times... I know I said playoff caliber, but I'm talking about winning in the 2nd round and beyond. It's been mentioned several times that any quarterback like Cassel can make the playoffs, and even someone like Tebow can win a game. And saying he's good for ~10 wins pretty much implies I'd expect him to make the playoffs.
There are definitely a couple of legit wins there... the Saints playoff game, at the Packers the following year. 13 points, 140 yards and 1td/1int vs Seattle, not so much... etc. No need to break it down, as stats obviously don't matter. As I've said, again, several times... he'll get his chances to prove himself with this team. You know, the one I follow. But, I've been down this road several times, and I'm not going to act like I don't know what's at the end. If it's something different this time, it'll be a great surprise.
