LNBS: Can Alex Smith be "Fixed"?
Part of me wants to think so.

We saw flashes in 2013 of him testing defenses downfield and being a lot more than a game manager.

Then his OL got severely downgraded through 3 big losses in free agency (all 3 got overpaid) and his 2 guards weren't even nfl quality, let alone starter quality.

His receivers needed a major upgrade last offseason (they were an obvious team weakness) and other than adding Jason Avant late in the year and developing a promising rookie in Albert Wilson...not a whole lot was done to help provide Alex Smith with adequate weapons. Losing Avery to injury further weakened an already subpar unit.

Here's my question:

If they improve the OL and receivers...will we see Alex Smith come out of his shell again (like we saw flashes of in the second half of 2013)?

If he does, how far can this team go if the defense plays like it has and Dee Ford steps into Hali's shoes adequately?

Why does it have to be a TE, or a WR?

Te should be improved next year by Kelce taking the next step (we hope) and maybe adding a more athletic one and subtracting Fasano.

It can and should be both and all of the above.

It's just really early for draft talk.

Hypothetically, if Desean Jackson gets cut which is a rumor I read somewhere, would you target him here?
Absolutely.

The only 2 I'd even think of perusing are Desean (I doubt he gets cut though...big production for a somewhat reasonable contract) or Jeremy Maclin.

Familiarity with the system offers a huge premium to us.

I agree...but as I said I hope they get a legit plan b in place

Just in case Alex doesn't earn his money.

A rational analysis of that game though breaks down like this though:

1. Jamaal Charles ripped off an incredible TD run.

2. Alex Smith finally put together one TD drive after farting around for the entire game doing nothing.

It was a nice tease by Alex, though. He never did anything like that again the rest of the year and that is why we fell flat on our faces.

Who said it needed to be either or?

I just don't think it would be smart to go spending a bunch of free agency dollars on receivers with so many big contracts coming up like Poe, Houston and others.

C'mon man.

The guy deserves credit for his success as well as his failures.

I'm thinking about the draft too. Not just free agency.

Preferably for me it would be, OL in free agency, maybe a TE if Davis gets cut, Maybe a WR if price fits.

Then go BPA all the way down.

Down mods, because this sentence sums up up his entire tenure here, if Madden had a "Low Confidence" measurement, Smitty would be the guy you trade for Chad Henne.

Not turning it over is a skill, though and turnovers are usually a good predictor of W vs L's.


But when the not turning it over, comes at the expense of missing scoring chances, it starts to weigh the other way.
