I am watching his post-game question and answer right now, and he seems more confident every week when answering. And the columnists are giving him some love. The only thing, the only little thing I would change if I were him... his shirts. He wears the same damn shirt every week after the game. Oh well, lets focus, because we may still have a shot at making the playoffs. Go 9ers!

You say his good performances were a fluke after every game. Isn't it getting old by now?

performances...plural?

What?

the only bad game he's had has been the titans game this year.

Ummmm........Chicago wasnt exactly a cakewalk for him....

Chicago was bad. But, as you can tell when they put in the spread the entire game he looks good. He has looked good in the spread all year.

Interesting stats

Peyton Manning threw for 300+ yards in his NFL start
Tom Brady threw for 300+ yards in his 4th NFL start
Tim Couch threw for 300+ yards in his 17th NFL start
David Carr threw for 300+ yards in his 21st NFL start


Alex Smith has 33 starts so far without a 300 yard passing game.

While I'm enjoying this win, the question also lingers: how much of Alex's stats are due to a weak Jaguars secondary?
The OLINE performed really well today, which is a bit odd as well.

I guess as Alex has good games, "consistently", these doubts would probably go away automatically. Until then, part of being a QB under scrutiny.

Cant argue with you there. I think the key will be next week, as Seattle will surly come out prepared for the spread. Lets see how the Niners go about attacking their defense.

No the oline played well verses the pass but they run block like a 98 year old man.

Smith was getting the ball out quicker on a lot of plays which helped the o line. I think the spread forces the qb to get the ball out quicker. Smith stats were due to throwing accurate passes. Especially in the first half. Don't hate. If you saw the game, you would of seen his performance, it wasn't a fluke.
