He played just ok.
On one sack, if he had stepped up in the pocket, he could have avoided. He did also seem a little too quick to start running for his life.
He had one brutal miss to Bruce that would have gone for a good 15 yards. It just sailed on him, i think we all know that he wishes that he could have taken that one back.
With all that being said, he was playing the #1 ranked pass defense and he lost his starting LT on the first play, he still played ok.

C+/B-. Looks so much improved than from what I saw in '07 and even in the preseason. Much more composed and confident, and fantastic running the two minute offense.
Couple of negatives though. Some missed throws, shaky clock management. A thing about Smith that really annoys me is taking sacks that puts us out of FG range. This was a problem of his before too. I know that it's not all his fault, but he has to be aware where he is on the field and scramble out of the pocket and get rid of the football.

I say he had a great game considering how bad the OC is and the offensive line. Jesus the dropped passes reminded me of 2007. Smith couldn't win for trying. I believe the 49ers WRs lead the league in dropped passes when Smith was in that year.

This kid has tons of potential, for what he did today behind that God-awful line was very damn admirable.
But it sucks though that Sing & Raye are catering to a worthless philosophy, than playing to their own QBs strengths. We have the potential to be a dangerous spread offense that can run up the scoreboard, but instead we're playing conservative, with missed opportunities, and a 'geriatric' wide-receiver that is beyond his years in catching NFL footballs.

Alex did not play horrible today but he did not have a good game either. He took a sack and this pushed the niners out of field goal range on their last drive. He missed a few open WR's on various third down plays. Shades of the old Alex started to resurface when I watched balls sail over open WR's.
At the same time many of those bad throws were taking place in third and long situations. So its really hard to gauge his play.
You can Gauge this without much doubt - Much better than Shaun Hill.

Gauge as in do the niners pick a QB high in the draft next year. Nobody ever accused hill as a franchise QB.
If hill was playing QB I would be surprised if the niners passed on a possible franchise QB next year. When Alex is playing I am affraid they might try to stick with him for a couple of more years hoping he will become something he has never been.
