These stats don't represent how Smith was at QB when the Niners were either up by 7 points or less or down by 7 points or less. I think his rating was in the high 50s. I posted it before but, if really needed, can find it and post it again.
Stats don't show everything. Watching the game gives you a better idea of performance under critical situations.
Actually, statistics can tell us such things.
From Elias Sports Bureau:
Alex Smith - Margin of Victory, 0 to 7 Points: 122 - 200 (61%), 6.73 YPA, 1345 Yards, 11 TD, 7 INT, 84.7 QBR
Also you can find it on NFL.com > Stats > Situational Stats.
I think Joe is referring to Alex's stats for being behind 1-8 points and trying to come back...
54 for 28 (51.9%) 404 yards 1-TD 4-INT 51.8 QB Rate...
Hopefully Alex will improve in this area...

If that's the situation Joe's talking about, I agree. The 9ers had a chance to win in the Houston, Greenbay, and Tennessee late in the game, but fell short each time.
Hopefully that improves this year.
