5 Reasons Alex Smith is Going to Be a Top 5 QB in 2010

If we improve the OLine just a little....guys, it will make a huge difference. I mean, we are potentially looking at big offense if we can get him and the Rb's some protection. It will be huge to get some good blockers.

You know am often considered an Alex Smith "Hater", but based on what I have read in other posts and articles about our O-line being the worst in the NFL...

I am starting to think Sing (coach Kool-aid) and Raye are to blame. With help from Forester, they combined to create what could have been the most ridiculous running game and simplistic pass protection schemes. When you stop and think that runs up the middle were our least productive, yet 70% of all our runs were up the middle, you begin to question the coaching staff's general level of competence to coach at the NFL level.

Taking such a hard look back at last season it is not out of line to think, Smith Gore and the rest of the offense could be much better next year, top 5 rating for Smith hard to say. This offensive team, and I include the O-line when I say this was badly served by the coaching staff, everything from fundamentals to play calling was bush league.

The players are better than there record. If you have built a team of "coachable" players, and then proceed to give them poor coaching, the will listen and put out all the effort in the world, and they will become a reflection of that poor coaching, they will be poor players.

The thing that will hold Alex back, and the rest of the team for that matter is the kind of coaching that runs up the gut even when facts show they can't, the kind of coaching that has 25% of all it's running plays thrown for a loss yet makes no changes to the play calling is not the type of staff that will propel anyone to the top 5 of any list you want your name on!

Could Alex be a top 5 QB? Maybe but not o with this coaching staff.

This is a bunch of writing that throws in the face of the fact that Smith has his BEST year as a pro under this coaching staff. The fact is that they had to run those plays up the middle to keep the defense honest. Otherwise, Smith would have gottem even more preasure. This coaching staff actually COACHED Smith.
