Gosh Alex is so good I think wild dogs should kiss his rear end, and give Sing brown lollipops!!
The zone, just rules!
Okay now Bali, you don't have to behave like an ass to show your difference of opinion.
Alex Smith This Season:
Under Duress=======No Pressure
Comp Pct 26.8=====71.8 <
Pass Yds 98------------1,131
Yds/Att 2.4------------7.6
TD-INT 1-4------------5-5
Passer Rtg 8.1------------90.8 <
> NFL Avg: 66.3 comp pct, 91.4 passer rtg
This clearly shows that Smith is not a bad QB.
But then that doesn't jive with your opinion either. So should I brace and await insult?
You who said that I act high an mighty to put it in simple terms?
Dude c'mon, you're better than this. I know you are. But I think you're letting this get to you so you gotta take it out on people defending Smith.
Smith has made some mistakes to be sure. But when you're running for your life you're bound to make a few.
I been sayin it since the KC game but Chilo definitely needs to be benched. He was pretty good in the Seattle game til he got that Stinger. But since he's been back in the Starting role he's blown chowder.

ASS!!!!!! Mods, I've been insulted, I've been dissed in pubic!
Bro you just have to tone down the condescending tone of your posts a tad. But I think you may not know how.
The Oline has played like turnstiles, but if you look around the league now, and in the past you will see QBs, who pulled it down rather than get hit and throw an INT with less than a min to go, QBs who don't "normally" lose close games consistently right at the end, things like that. What's the purpose of continuing the Alex era if we don't win?
The coaching is absurd, it's surreal, it is nightmarish. So Smith loses again on the coaching end. IE, he is not getting whatever he needs to go beyond the limited talent he has.
How can you in good faith and with eyes wide open (or shut) continue to back this fellow?! You are simply amazing in this regard..
However, I do think you complained to the mods about me calling you "pompous" and a dunce.. did you? That would be ummm... Alex like maybe!
Whatever.... Did you read Patty's thread about just going with the surreal BS we know as the Niners season and enjoying it for the shear insanity of it all?
Now that was a timely thread if ever there was one! Cheers and a bottoms up to her!
GO NINERS!!!! ~
Nope didn't complain. And I didn't call you an ass. I said "Don't BE an ass" There is a difference between BE and ARE. You might look up those two words in Websters.
And about me being pompous? There is a fine line of being and are here too. If you agree with me then it's witty and insightful. If you disagree with me then my comedic talent is being perceived as me being pompous.
And I will continue to back Smith unless he does something truly boneheaded for the rest of the season. It was a bad move to go backward trying to evade the Sack. Forget throwing the ball away, the same thing was going to happen. Smith even SAID that was what he was trying to do. And besides at that point I do not believe that he was outside the tackles. If he did throw it and it did not make it to the Line of Scrimmage that's an intentional grounding penalty. So best to take a sack rather than fumble it. But hey I give him a C for trying to escape. If that was a Tackle he would have gotten away. But Philly pulled their Tackles and send in Ends.
As far as the 2nd INT goes, there was no time left on the clock and he was trying to throw the ball downfield. In any case he got hit 3/4 of the way through his motion and wasn't able to step into his throw. Even YOU have to admit that Smith's Pass was WILDLY inaccurate. Even for him. It was like a Shaun Hill Pass, that's how bad it looked.
Until Smith is gone I'll continue to root for him and defend him against you "knowledgeable" and "sane" fans as long as you continue to excuse the rest of the team.

He LED the league in getting sacked. The primary reason for this was his oline (as seen in above link). Therefore, we can conclude that his oline was worse than Smith's. Yet he still played like a probowler. What's Smith's excuse ?
