I know you haven't seen him play in two years, but is there where Alex Smith, because of his arm strength and the better physical tools, might be the better option at quarterback?

Cosell: "Well, I don't think Alex Smith has particularly good physical tools. Certainly, we know Shaun Hill has an average to below-average NFL arm. You're right, we haven't seen Alex Smith throw in two years, but the last time we did see him throw and even when he came out (of college), I'd say Alex Smith's arm strength was slightly better than average - nothing more. I'm always leery - I know he's a smart kid - but I don't know how much he's learned. I'm not there. When you play in the Urban Meyer offense, and I can tell you for a fact, that when Alex Smith went through his board work for teams coming out of the draft that he had zero clue about NFL route combinations, which is not surprising. Because in Urban Meyer's offense, nobody does. I'm not a big Alex Smith guy. I think he has limited skills and I think he's got limited understanding."

Crabtree beasts like Willis beasts but Crabs more than Willie in Texans too. Shaub not be able to see with his own eyes of 2 beasts.

All I have to say is...Mike Johnson.

Alex practicing with Crabtree is terrible. Shaun Hill throws one of the weakest passes in the NFL, yet we have Smith with a very strong arm practicing with him... how's he gonna get used to catching floaters come gametime?

Well if this guy can't catch a floater thrown to him, the 49ers really f*cked up drafting him #10 overall, and going through all this hassle to sign him.

Think about the difference between the Defensive Back having time to make up ground when comparing floaters and strong passes.

Why should I waste time thinking about this? Alex Smith is not the starting QB for the 49ers. And if I were to think about it, I would start thinking about how Alex Smith is not very accurate and throws late behind the receiver too much, despite having a stronger arm.

To be honest when I think of the future, usually my thoughts about the 49ers finally having good QB play do not include Hill or Smith in them.

True, but Smith can be great. Hill never will be.

People forget that although Smith hasn't shown to be a great QB, he still has the potential to be one. He's missed 2 years due to injury. Eli Manning didn't look good his first 3 years. That's my take on it.

Alex Smith stayed in town during the bye week to work with Crabtree. Does this establish some chemistry between the two? Does this help Smith's chances of getting some action this season? Does this build some chemistry between the two palyers?

I think it may. And getting away from the subject a tad, It shows that Alex wants to be there for sure. I'm just sayin that if the offense continues to stink it up with Gore back in the lineup, that Smith should get a shot to start at some point down the line this season.

Alex stayed in town because he lives in town... He had nowhere else to go..

That aside I would start Smith on Sunday, because Hill is not getting it done at all. He is a pie chucking, bar league QB, that has no business starting for an NFL team.

So because Smith is from Cali means that he couldn't use the time off and just relax? Sorry but I think that is an ignorant statement. Smith stayed behind because he has good work ethic and is doing what ever he can to try and get another chance at a starting job. If that means looking like a team player and helping out Crabtree to get caught up on the 4 passing plays in the play book.

It was more a facitious statement than an ignorant one, I guess you couldn't pick up on the nuance of the post.. I guess I should have used a smiley.
