Maybe I should argue how great Alex smith was bc of his win loss record the last few years even though it was all the defense and gore. Ignorance is bliss.
I actually think Smith is better now as a Chief than ever was as a Niner despite never clinching a division in the AFC West.
And based on pure QB mechanics, short and intermediate anticipation throws, reading defenses, etc. I give Smith the edge over Wilson. Wilson has an edge with his jump ball, ability to buy time and make a few more big plays, and is as good or better runner, but that's it. It translates better with an amazing defense, but as a mover of the football, I don't think Wilson is all that.
If KC's defense was as dominant as Seattle's, I'd be very tempted to put money on a KC Lombardi this year.
But because they're not, I won't.
BTW, I thought elguapo was maybe talking up the "Bevell scheming receivers open" a bit, but watching the Cards game, every single receiver was wide open early on. Holy s****.
Hiring Bevell as Head Coach wouldn't necessarily solve the 49er problems, but it would certainly tank the Hawks if they couldn't find as good an OC.
They whine about him up there, and feel Wilson is succeeding in spite of him, and I find it the other way around.
And that run block OL is maybe 2012 49ers good.
