And I love David Carr. I'm a Fresno State fan and will always like the guy and remember his college days. He's simply not a great NFL player and Alex Smith is DRAMATICALLY better than anyone else on the roster at QB...unfortunately I might add.
What people dont understand is that fans just wanted change, whether it was Troy Smith or Carr, it just happened that Carr was next in line. We were on a long losing streak and our season was basically ending. If people had "no clue of what they were talking about", then they would have been oblivious to the fact that the qb on the field had been stinking it up for the majority of his career with niners and wouldnt have chanted. So, It mostly had to do with numerous seasons of losing with that qb on the field and built frustration, than wanting Carr as a qb.
I think anyone that has the mental capacity and take a step back to look at our situation (as a fanbase AND as an organization) can see that fans were used to a winning tradition from a team that won consistently for two decades, saw a huge change in the front office, and helplessly watched our team implode on itself from the front office all the way down to the players.
We haven't been to the playoffs in almost 10 years and fans are desperately holding onto
anything that can be misconstrued as a glimmer of hope (i.e. Hill, T. Smith, Carr, Mike Martz, etc).
I have faith in Harbaugh because I remember how bad Stanford's program was before he came in, but everyday this lockout continues, more adversities pile up against the 49ers, and I'm sick and tired of being good on paper, sick and tired of being the dark horse of the NFC, and definitely sick and tired of broken promises this front office has made all for the sake of generating buzz within the fanbase.
