alex smith is a joke. You either have the instincts or you dont as an nfl quarterback. All you groupie smith lovers better get ready to get let down. When the games on the line in the 4th quarter and smith has to make the passes to win the game he will choke? Has he ever, ever takin his team from a deficit and brought the team back to win? I didnt think so. GO ahead and hold out hope faithfful. Its a pipedream. One lastpoint and there is no misreading this quote from romanoski on comcast sports net television the other day. "Alex smith will never be th quarterback of the future for the san francisco 49ers. People i know on the team state that very fact and this year is a transition year for the quarterback position. Even managemnt says they are commited to him but behind the scenes they are not". U think he was talking out his piehole? I think not as an x niner. THeres nothing for him to gain for lyeing on national tv.

It's a good interview. Too bad so few people took the time to actually listen to it. Steve Young's perspective on this issue is interesting for a whole bunch of reasons: He's a HOF quarterback who struggled on bad teams early in his career. He's a fan of the current 49ers, and he knows Alex personally. Here's a verbatim quote from the interview:
"I really do hope, and believe, that he has the ability to really go the distance. And it's a fun story. Because there are late bloomers. There are guys that have to go through... not everything is smooth sailing. So if he does do it, and he becomes an All Pro player... and he becomes a perennial All Pro player, we'll all forget... how much struggle there really was."
Steve didn't say that Alex will succeed. He said we'll find out this year... that we'll be able to make "hard judgments" this year. But he said that Alex has the capacity to get there (unlike Leinart), and that he's pulling for him.
Me too.

With that said, I hope that Alex succeeds with what he has.
Steve Young is so over rated , he had stacked teams and still choked in the nfc championship games .

Barber is a not a very good 49er beat writer, certainly no MB or MM. More like a TK or LC, which isn't good IMO.
Barber should have stuck with the Raiders.

How are those excuses?? If the poster had said "well Alex was really sick and he was fatigued..." that's an excuse. Those are things in his control. Good players over come fatigue and sickness.
How are dropped balls and fumbles an excuse?? Did he cause them? You sound like a complete tard Popsicle when you parrot.
