Sounds like this may be Smith's last opportunity.

When Alexis at his best when Alex plays his finest, when he really shines.... he is an average NFL QB.

I'm sure that even his biggest fans, are not entirely comfortable watching him cross the 50 in crunch time, because that is whenAlex throws the back breaking pick!

When the game is on the line I'm sure deep down NOBODY not even his biggest fans feels confident watching him play.

Don't say that.

Alex is a great QB he just needs 5 more years with the same OC.

I was talking about Smiths inaccuracy and he started talking about how it doesn't matter because he throws so many passes??

Him and I must be talking about different things then

If Smith does play the way you hope he will... all that really does is show more to his inconsitency. I want him to be a good QB, but there is far more evidence to the contrary. At some point, you just have to cut your losses.

This. 6 years of inconsistency. After 6 damn years the poor guy just wont get it. The reality of it though is Sing will go down with Alex because hes too proud to admit his own mistake rather than try to salvage the season with Troy or Nate ( Can they be any worse?)

Sings downfall will be himself and thats a sad reality

yeah you guys were talking about different things. he wasn't saying it is okay to be inaccurate, he was saying this offense is awful for an inaccurate QB and the spread would be better.

it would also help with all the blitzing teams do against us.

"I think right now with some of the issues that we have, we want to really make sure we focus on Alex Smith," Singletary said. "We want to exhaust all possibilities" with him.

I don't think those words of Singletary's will come as a surprise to anyone who follows the team, whether they are a Smith supporter or not. Singletary's words tell me Smith has to win this game or the next guy in line is going to get his shot. I hope for Smith's sake, as well as the team's, they go to the spread offense early and often. I think if we spread it out and try to move up and down the field in the fashion of most modern NFL offenses, Smith and the rest of the offense will tremendously benefit. Modern offenses move the ball through the air and by causing opposing defenses to commit penalties. Our biggest gain against the Falcons this past Sunday came on a PI call. Did our coaches go back to airing it out after that play? Of course they didn't...

Anyhow, if Smith doesn't get it done, I think our playoff hopes are not only shot for this season, but for many seasons to come. The Rams have built a strong foundation and Bradford looks like the future leader of the division. If we fall apart this year, in a year we were expected by nearly everyone to take the division, a massive rebuild project will be underway.

As for Smith having a great game this weekend, it seems daunting. The Eagles defense gave Smith fits last year and with the way he has played thus far, there isn't many encouraging signs that say he will fair any better this time around.

Despite all the doom and gloom previously written, I still do feel like this is our season and I think we're going to defy the odds. Here is to Smith tossing three or more touchdowns and us wiping the Eagles out in The Stick!

He's fvcked up beyond repair. Smiths is the equivalent to a really nice car that was a fixer upper when you bought it...you finally get around to finishing the car only the find out it was actually totaled recently.

The guys done. Let's try our other options. Id really like to see what Troy could do. We know what we have in Carr. I mean I'm ok with giving Smith one more game but this absolutely has to be his last HALF.
