This is a very simple question with a very simple answer.

Did Peyton Manning look sharp ? YES
Did Aaron Rodgers look sharp ? YES
Did Drew Brees look sharp ? YES

Did Alex Smith look sharp ? NO

What differentiates a contender from a pretender ? There's your answer right above. Can anyone please explain, besides blaming DWalker on the tipped INT, why ALex Smith did not look sharp as a six year veteran hoping to take this team to the playoffs ? And if you're going to use the "its only preseason" excuse, then please explain why all of the above said QBs didnt look so rusty......

Smith looked fine. Not great. Just fine. I'm ok with that considering his Number 1 WR is out and the best offensive player on the team in Gore. Plus we lost our backup RB late in the week. The offense looked fine to me. Once the timing with VD is back (and it should be just based on last year) and if we don't have those tough break INTs thru Walker's hands we'll be fine.

3/9 37 yards is fine ? Wow, you're hopeless.........

No, my friend, your posts are the very definition of hopeless.

Did Nate Davis look Sharp: YES

thats how you move an offense.

Wait, you're serious?

All I know is if Alex is not the answer this season than I would rather give Nate a long look as a long term option than Carr or drafting/trading for another QB.

How do you know that Smith isn't the answer? Smith's numbers from last year over 16 games would get us in the playoffs. He has had an off season to learn the offensive system (first time in his career) plus he's got Gore, VD, Crabs, and two new olinemen. If the offensive line can block better than they did last year we should be fine on offense.

I'm not writing Smith off, I want him to succeed. But personally don't think A. Davis is ready to protect him in pass plays for the right side. I think A. Davis will be great in 2-3 years, but don't see why we are starting him if he isn't ready against NFL 1st team defenses.

The organization says they want him to succeed, but I dont think they have the right line for him right now.

Anyways back to N. Davis. I'm not hoping Alex doesn't make it, but its just a what if? What if Alex doesn't do well??? I just don't think the 49ers have a strong contingency plan......
