Expectations and Alex Smith

I'm kind of excited about the passing game and what it means for the running game, especially if Alex can SOMEHOW complete some down field passes. I really really want to see Charles carve up a spread out D and break through to the second level.

You have to leave clay alone. His brain is on full melt down mode. So much so, that the poor guy, is using videos from when singletary was still coaching.

He has nothing relevant to at any point and time when he had a coach with a winning record as a head coach. None. ANd he wouldnt dare post them, because most of the plays are smart plays.

Oh yeah, I forgot that when you have a bad coach you instantly start sucking on an individual level.

And then, there is the crowd like yourself, who thinks that coaching has no bearing, and that the mccarthys , charlie weis, josh mcdaniels, sean paytons of the worlds, matter not at all.....

THose are my favorites.

You jerkstain. These are all from the last two years.

I know what Alex Smith brings to the table but that was with the Niners, I know what Reid brings to the table but that was with Philly. Mixing the two together along with a new coaching staff hampers me from making any grand prognostications. So here you go:

8-8

So, better than last year but not a playoff team. This record reflects one thing-I have no idea what to expect and it's about as middle of the road as I can come up with.

if we really throw the ball a lot then i think Smith implodes.


hey ... who knows, maybe Reid will have the WCO short passing game going so well it could be handled easy.

Kinda like Cassel when Weis was here.

Gonna be the same shit.

Thank you. That's a legitimate argument. My point is that I really don't think Reid is bringing Smith in here with the expectation of throwing 20 times a game for less than 200 yards. Our defense was terrible last year.

[Hammock Parties]

Why would you think a team with Alex Smith would hit league average in passing ANYTHING?

He averaged less than 190 yards passing last year....

[BigMeatballDave]

If Cassel can win 10, so can Smith.

I don't expect much more than that.

He'll average 10-11 starts per year, providing, roughly, slightly-above average production in these limited starts.

As he's done his entire ****ing career. This isn't a ****ing guess; it's based on a significant sample size.

What?

I mean, Jim Plunkett, for ****s sake.

DOUG WILLIAMS. DREW BREES.

IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE, DAMMIT!

All but the last two years were with incompetent head coaches and skew the results. You can choose to include those years if you want, but I believe it is an inaccurate way to look at it.
