Normally I would be very excited about Crabtree and the other young talent but I do worry we are predicatable.
Is Solari going to be allowed to implement his trap blocking scheme? Or is he going to only be allowed to teach the straight up blocking that we have had for the last 3 years?
Is Raye going to be better as an Offensive Coordinator in year 2?
And finally is Alex Smith going to correct his mechanics? Is he going to be able to take the ball from the center and make plays downfield? Or is he only going to be successfull when in the shotgun?
You do know that most of Smith's TD passes were from under center right? I do not know who came up with the myth that Smith can't play under center, but it is bunk.
That's the case for every team. Once you get inside the 20 you need the threat of the run to give yourselves more space to operate.
You can't even make the case that Alex can play period so to say it's bunk is your personal opinion.
WTF are you babbling about? Smith's stats from last years show he can play, that he can't play is your misguided opinion. That is as ridiculous as the people posting in this thread that a guy that has been a playcaller in the NFL for 20+ years isn't a real OC...the guy has forgotten more about calling plays than anyone here on this site will ever know.
His stats were nothing to brag about. He wasn't above average in any statisical measure despite being 10th in passing attempts. He's not accurate (17th), he doesn't get the ball down the field (24th in YPC, 30th in 1st down %). He's not a leader or a winner.
You want to talk stats. 1 300 yard game in 40 starts. Watch out that man can play.
As for Raye. That might be the problem. He's
forgotten more about play calling than anyone here knows.
