Who would you rather see start @ QB? | Page 5

What happens if Troy Smith plays well this Sunday. Does the team make Alex Smith the starter again when he's healthy? Or do they let Troy finish up the season as long as he plays atleast as well as Alex usually plays? I say leave Troy in.

Carr never received any first team reps either. The only plan was for Alex to become the QB we hoped we had and wouldn't get injured.

Not very smart.

I hate to jump ahead, but it sounds like we will be even more predictable this week on offense.

What is this knee jerk reaction in reference to?

This quote by Mike Johnson?

Quote:
"I'm still trying to figure out some of the things that he does well," Johnson said. "Watching him practice and now that I have a chance to see what he can do (I can) put a game plan together ... I get three days to kind of see what he does well."

Would you have rather had Johnson just give the entire playbook to Smith after one week of first team repetitions?

Johnson is trying to work with what he has.

(i feel like alex will be starter again, the team will want to see moar from him to see if they want to go with 0 QB depth, going into the draft.)

Yeah I agree with this. I HIGHLY doubt that we will clean house at the QB position going into the offseason. We will keep at least one of our current QB's, draft another, and sign another in FA. Carr seems to be off the table. Nate Davis can't seem to even get considered for the active roster. So it is going to be a competition throughout the rest of the season between Alex and Troy Smith.

Troy. Let's see what the guy can do. Let's activate Davis and give him a shot if Troy does a Carr.

I hope he does well, but I don't think Troy Smith is going to do much. I can see 8-19-95 yds 0 td 1 int. Bring on Nate.

Some of you are hardwired to look negatively at anything the Niners do nowadays. That can't be healthy.

I think Nate would give us the best chance of winning, considering he's been on the team longer than any one of our backups.

Have you watched this team play for the last 8 years? It's kind of in our blood right now.

It's possible that this playbook can be dialed back?

THis, nate wasn't activated so if Troy gets hurt on play 1, its the david carr show.
