You know what Alex really needs to do? Stop playing it too safe.

You got a nationally broadcast game against the Eagles for week 5. You're about to be labeled a bust. Go out fighting like a man. Take a page out of Jay Cutler's book, and just try to make some plays downfield.

I agree with you, but he's been trying for the past 37 years

I have an observation. It's something I noticed after seeing Bradford terrorize the Seahawks last Sunday.

Usually, you can tell right away when a QB will turn out to be a good one...they show flashes...Manning, Elway, Montana, Young, Favre, McNabb, Ryan, Flacco, Rodgers, and on and on. Bradford looks like he's going to be a good QB. Imagine Bradford 6 years from now still having to apologize for dumb mistakes, having a losing record, more INTs than TDs, etc. You'd think that he's a bust, right? It's time to move on. Alex Smith just doesn't seem to have it. He keeps making the same bonehead mistakes. This was the year that I thought Smith had to prove himself. Last chance. Well, he got his chance. A quarter of the season is gone and I think it's obvious that we need to acquire a QB next year. The only question is do we let him play out the year or go with someone else? This might be drastic, but I think it's time to give someone else a shot, and I don't mean David Carr who
's basically a poor man's Alex Smith.

Agreed. I think he sucks but he needs to get pissed. I mean just act like a leader, take some shots down field, try to win the game. Scramble if you have to! Who cares if you get injured, you're about to lose your job anyway! Just make some f**king plays, or atleast try. If it doesn't work out then oh well. If Crabtree costs you another interception than punch him in the f**king face. Just show some fire and do whatever you have to do to win. If it doesn't work out then atleast he did everything he possibly could. He needs to stop playing it too safe. You can't rely on 14 play drives or whatever with no explosive plays all game anyway.

I agree, just go all out and start firing it down field. IF your gonna throw picks, at least attack the defense while doing it, stop being so scared to make mistakes. Get pissed, grab Crabtree by the face mask and cuss his ass off, if he messes up. Jump on A. Davis' ass is if he misses a block or starts piling on the penalties.

SHOW SOME DAMN FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!
