LOL... No really.
I think most in NT call it as they see it; but, a few members in here are too invested in Smith to admit the truth to themselves...

If by Swaggggggg you mean help throwing with proper ball placement to a moving target; then yes, I would agree...
BALL PLACEMENT!!!?? psssssssssss an NFL QB does NOT need that!
you're right, they need receivers that actually catch the ball
Classic apologist response. "It's not Alex's fault; everyone else has the problem"
when did I say that Smith wasn't at fault??? Matt Maiocco stated that 4 out of 5 interceptions that Smith has thrown Crabtree was the target and were tipped passes. But you're right "classic apologist response"
The little "s" that you put at the end of receiver makes it plural. Crabtree is one person so that would require the singular "receiver" to be used. Since you used the plural you stated that multiple receivers have this problem.
Now, the rest of you sentence implies that Alex is not the problem; but our receivers not catching the ball is. If you go back and look at ball placement on these INT's, you will see that your statement is not entirely accurate either.
It is a statement made by most, if not all, apologist here on the zone!
the little "s" refers to the dropped passes by the other receivers. Trust me by no means do I feel that Smith is accurate, but he isn't any less accurate than other QB's in the league. The difference is that other QB's have receivers that go after the ball and CATCH it!

What do you guys think about Aaron Rodgers "swag" when he shows off some kind of imaginary wrestling belt around his waist after a score?!
dat swag
lol f*ck Aaron Rodgers! Because everytime I watch how great he plays (with the wrestling belt swag) it breaks my heart.
That is some goofy ass s**t there, so that is what you guys think will make Smith play better? I think the line keeping the defense out of the backfield for more than two seconds might be a little more advantageous. The two games he has been bad, the line played like s**t, the one where he looked on target and on time, the line played lights out. Coincidence? I think not.

That is odd because the posters that actually call it as they see it are the ones who say that the verdict is still out on Smith because they ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION!
A man goes into a bar thinking that only butch lesbians go to bars. He looks around and all he sees is butch lesbians. A second man goes into the bar thinking only hot blondes goes to bars. He looks around all he sees is hot blondes. A third man goes into a bar thinking man I sure hope there are women in this bar. He looks around and he sees butch lesbians, blondes, brunettes and red heads.
Your eyes will see what you want to see. You want to see Smith fail so that is all you see. Smith homers want to see Smith succeed so that is all they see. Impartial's see the entire picture.

Have you ever watch Alex play? Have you watched the good NFL QBs play? It is obvious that they are way more accurate than Alex. Here is a exercise you can do to help you see what everyone else does. Watch an Alex Smith highlight clip and watch a drew Breese or Peyton Manning, or even Aaron Rogers highlight clip. Watch where their WRs catch the ball and how many of their WRs have to dive or jump or reach for the passes and how many of them catch the ball while running full speed and how many are led by their QB away from the defenders.
BTW, you can't really blame the WRs that much. Jimmy Raye said this on his exit interview where he didn't have to cove for Alex anymore. He said, " We didn't think, 'We're not going to throw the ball down the field. I saw a couple go-routes fail over the top of Crabtree's head out of bounds." You can question Raye's character and call him a liar or you can realize that he is not as accurate as some of the QBs that aren't in the NFL right now.

I'd like to see him fired up , instead of his ''sleepy'' approach.
When the media would ask him about excuses, I would love it if Smithers
would just say something like, '' I know I've had alot of coordinators and oline problems but I have to make it happen myself without any excuses.I'm the quarterback of this team, therefore all of the blame should be put on me.
Plain and simple.''
BTW with all of these coordinator changes , why not just let Smith call his own plays, and audible his own stuff? He's smart enough to do it, but needs some ''get em''' attitude instead of his lazy , smirking head down approach.
If sh*t goes wrong , throw some sh*t around on the sidelines lol
show us you care and that you aren't here to collect a check.
This is your last shot.

Seriously though did you see his face on the sidelines of the last game? He was f**king pissed off!!

the question is have you watched ANY nfl games? Breese, Manning and Rodgers throw passes that are off target all of the time. The difference is that they have receivers that go up and CATCH the ball. Guess what Joe Montana and Steve Young threw off target, but they had receivers that would go up and get the ball.
