It's certainly up there. Especially considering who they played.

agree. If I were to nitpick, I would say his first INT was on him, as I recall, and he dumped off WAY too often. However, he still had a great game overall. Good reads, good use of his armbands, good accuracy in last 3 quarters, and good drive to win.

I think Gore played an even better game though.

i disagree about the first pick...if gore hadn't even touched it the ball would have just been incomplete. the second INT i put squarely on Alex, he shoulda been more careful with that throw.

There is one thing to note: Alex has got to quit doing that roll right. There were two times when he had PLENTY of time and the play was blocked to perfection but he too off to the right when he didn't need to. And he still needs to run more throughout the game. That would REALLY put defenses on their heals and force them to assign a LB to him instead of a receiver.

I expect to see those runs he made be repeated in the future. Also KC will have scouted those runs and will account for that with a LB. That will open up some stuff in middle zones.

Niner fans dissapoint me.

Smith puts up stats, but still loses the game for us and he is cheered. Meanwhile the guy who didn't put up the huge stats won.

Gore gets a D for too much effort. He should have slacked off and not tried to finish the play of an inaccurate pass.

Shut up man. This poll is about his individual performance. And it was a good one.

I don't know about scouting the run just yet. That was in 2-minute drill and it's not a trend in his case yet. He's got a to torch a few teams with the run before they install any sort of measure against it.

I hope they didn't scout it, but if they did, it just means they have one more thing to defend. Either way, it is a good thing.

on ESPN, a couple of people were saying they had no idea how fast smith was and that they don't understand why he wasn't scrambling more often.
