Maybe we should answer this question when we're mathmatically eliminated from playoff contention. What if we barely make the playoffs with defense and a power running game and Alex has a crappy year? Do we still get rid of him?

lol if we dont make the playoffs this year it wont be Alex Smith's fault.
funny how everyone says he sucks, but in turn is putting the entire success of our season on his shoulders. Alex Smith just needs to manage the position and NOT be a liability in order for us to win the division.
if we dont take this division, we have alot bigger problems than who our QB is. we have a cupcake schedule opponent wise, a top flight D, 3 elite talents at offensive skill positions, etc. the D will be the bigger goat this year if we dont take the weak NFC West.
look at the competition...Cards cut their projected starter for Derek Anderson, and the coach said "our 3rd stringer in camp looks like our best QB". the Seahawks have almost NO blue chip players, just cut their best WR, and their OL coach said "peace out!" right before the season started.
the way its looking right now, the NFC West will be a 3 team race....for LAST PLACE. if we dont run away and hide with this division more guys than just Alex Smith will have some explaining to do.
Never diss another team...Nobody expected Warner to turn into a somebody. The seachickens beat us once last year. I just hope their aqquisition of former niner players weighs them down. If the lambs bite us in the ass it won't be funny.
If niners D can keep opposition to 10 or 14 points and we still lose the game...it can indeed be Alex and Rayes fault. No more excuses. All the commentators agree the pieces are in place for the niners and it rests with Smith. Not to do it all, but pull his fair weight. Like I said, if he can get 28/10 TD/Int ratio then all will be well. Maybe even as high as 14 int is passable.

IF this happens, which i dont think it will, we will see whos fault it was, then make decisions.
Jimmy Raye and his ability to come up with ludicrous play calls that's what.
you guys keep forgetting that this is Singletary's team...you guys saw last year what happened when we opened up the offense for Shaun or Alex.
don't get me wrong the first person I blame is Raye when I see us play conservative, but then I remember it is Sing that controls him...
for now I just put "depart with Alex" only because I think that Raye & Sing don't trust him all the way...or at least it felt like that last year....so I wonder how this offense would be with a QB that can pass consistently and has the coaches trusts.
As much as I call Sing a hypocrite, I still like how the rest of the players play of him and play disciplined........as far as Raye, as much as I want us to go back to the WCO and I think we have the PERFECT players on offense for it.....I just don't want to have different offensive playbook again, especially if they give Nate a chance....but if we do bring in someone else, a proven Vet QB then I don't care if we get rid of Raye...
so for now, if it is obvious we don't make the playoffs because of Alex...then yet depart with him first......but if he plays well and it is our defense that just collapses for some reason, then yeah keep him around.
