Patrick Willis comes to Alex Smith's defense

Hey, it's a little thing, but alex with that OL is not the alex of old. Now many out there have and have had legitimate disbelief in alex. Until MNF, i had never taken sides. I did say, get the kid an OL and THEN judge. Not trying to change anyone's mind, but there is a mountain of difference between playing qb naked, and playing with a real, pro, functioning OL. Remember, NO has one of the best Ds in the league, and they
NEVER laid a hand, let alone a blow on alex. That sounds eerily like something we have not seen around here in 8-9 yrs. I would only suggest the doubter, who have been let down time after time, consider the significance of a hotshot QB with a great OL, and do we ever have one. As many have noted, we also have an all star cast coaching OL, thank God, and we in addition finally have a QB coach, who probably is being groomed as OC...but i hope he maintains the qB coach position.

Win or lose tomorrow, i will again be watching the OL...and if they once again dominate, i look for #11 to have a good game. Last time i thot about KC, i predicted we would slaughter them. Well we got on the wrong end of 0-41 or 7-41, whichever. So no predictions, but as the OL now goes, so goes alex.

A final nod of the head to p52, for standing up for his man, which i doubt would happen if alex were the tool many think. Let's all just go back to zero, remind ourselves that alex for first time ever has this great OL, and grade him from here on out...forget the past. It is not worth remembering. If he fails with this OL, all doubters were correct. Somehow, i just don't think that will happen.

This story intrigues me because Sing was very high on Smith after the loss (during the post-conference), so it sounds to me like Sing lost his s**t in the locker room once again and the most respectable bread-winner on the roster set things straight with his mentor.

This all reminds me of last year's TC Alex threw an interception and Singletary forced him to go sit on a hill, and 10 mins. later all the starters (from V.D. to the entire o-line came to join him on the hill in a showing of solidarity).

Singletary didn't "force" Smith to sit on the hill.

Disgusted by a fumble at practice, 49ers Coach Mike Singletary warned his players that the next player to turn the ball over would be banished from the field. The quarterback (Smith) threw a hard-luck interception just minutes after Singletary laid down the law Monday. linkage

The starting linemen only also joined Smith after the second group was in.

After the first offense was finished with its period of work, the five offensive linemen scaled the hill for a sit-in with Smith. linkage

You're making it more than it is.

Maybe I wasn't clear, but I was referring to SnakePlissken's second paragraph and how he misconstrued the events of the last year's practice as supporting evidence for his ideas in his first paragraph.

He has to learn how to be a coach and handle his emotions. There is no benefit to calling out a player in front of his teammates and guaranteed, if Sing had waited a day he wouldn't have done that.

Sing is still not an NFL coach imo. Hopefully one day
