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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

If we see "FIRE" out of Smith then Dec 24th 2012 is going to happen

Well, if Sing is not gonna bench him, he better start showing something or we ain't gonna win crap.

Same. People called me a Smith Homer/lover but I just wanted our QB to do well. I'm really on the fence about him right now, he just doesn't seem to have IT and he makes mistakes. I want him to play well still, but if he's not doing well at the half in Philly then we gotta bench him or try something else. But I just want to win, I don't care who the QB is.

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 is basically a poor man's Alex Smith.

THere's nobody else in FA though. At least nobody that can learn this football for dummies offense fast enough.

Jeff Garcia please

Ditto.

If we had kept Garcia and let smith ride the pine and learn from him that would have been great.

Garcia has more fire than talent and Smith has more talent than fire. The balance could've been beautiful. Oh well, shouda' coulda' woulda' and if's.

If not Garcia...looking back...2005 was a wash anyway. Should have kept Rattay and let Smith learn. Then hire a spread offense guy as your OC in 2006.

Oh well. Like you said...shoulda coulda woulda.
If Alex was black, he would've been gone by end of year 2..TRUTH

We all want him to play well but its tiring to read posts blaming everything around him in his sixth year.

Smiths problems are ball placement and accy.

That is not some thing you sit and learn.

he was not a first round talent.

49ers got that one wrong. Then compounded by pushing him to run a system he was ill suited for. He was the anti west coast qb.

The sad part is so many people called it BEFORE the draft.

Well i say whats wrong with saying somthing positive or negative about him, and also adding the other issues that are the problems. I think thats really the downfall in commenting on Smith. Most cant stem away from the ONLY Smith way of thinking.

When the D failed against NO, and the Falcons. Definitely say what you have to about Smith u know what i mean, but also include the other bad aspects, i.e, lack of consistent running game that makes some noise, lack of pass rush, d giving up the big plays, etc.

The problem is most cant just include Smith in the problem, they just continue to make him the main one. Offense or not, i think we are second in points allowed. Smith has nothing to do with that, because even when he brought us back, we allowed a score. But most dont want to talk about this reality. Just about Smith.
