I will give it to him that he was very impressive that half, obviously leading to get the starting nod for the away game vs. the Colts.
He has to show me he can move the chains effortlessly while making good decisions week in and week out for me to get off the hatewagon.
Time will tell, lets just hope the same Alex shows up in Indy. That along with a serviceable Oline & running game.
wtf did you do to billy! we want him back!

Oh no, forget all those useless tidbits.
The Zone here is having one of those "my boner's out of my boxers" moment where they see Alex Smith perform one of his rare "magic tricks" that dazzle the crowds, bamboozle the misinformed, and electrify the masses. Thats right folks. After ALL that hard work, Alex Smith has arrived. And so has, miraculously, his forgotten arm. The once considered "bust" of Niner lore has finally learned through divine intervention how to throw a ball...........and man, arent we impressed ?
Of course, no one here will acknowledge that our playoff dreams for 2009 are shattered; our once promising season is now down the drain. No......we'd rather immerse ourselves in the greatness that is Alex Smith. So here we go again.....a lot of miscues, misthrows, and superb 87.5 QB ratings along with the all too familiar 15/22 for 136 yards passing stats. Of course, we'll see the occasional 200-250 yard games where we've been put out by the opponent by halftime, then Smith will go on a tear in the 4th quarter against 3rd stringers.
And at the end, when it's all said and done.......our GLARING need for a legit QB will be forgotten for yet another year, cause we'll all be convinced that Joe Montana has been reborn in San Fran.
It's become an all too familiar tune in the Bay Area.
Good luck in Indy this week Alex. Im sure you'll rip Manning a new one.
Danger! Danger! Whine overload...
How can you say that our playoff dreams are shattered, and we're not even at the halfway point yet? Do you give up that easily? That's pretty sad. Our schedule is so weak that we're going to be in the playoff chase by default.
Grow a pair. Our future is looking bright right now.

The fact that we lost to a "mediocre team who won't sniff the Playoffs" should be a bit concerning to you ZRF.
But hey, okay, let's take this a step further.
The fact that your boy Shaun threw a whopping 45 yds & no score in the 1st half should have you putting a gun to your head as you're wondering where we went wrong.
I'll tell you where if you put that thing down.
We went wrong when Hill was named QB1.
Let me sum it up like this.
Shaun Hill= 5 1/2 games played. 155 Attempts, 87 Completions, 56.1 Completion %, 6.1 YDS PER ATTEMPT, 5 TDs' ,2 INTs', 18 Sacks, 107 yds lost( Avg of about 6 yds per sack) and a QB Rating(your favorite stat) of 79.6
Okay now you ready? I don't want you to pull the trigger or step out on a ledge now.
Alex Smith 22 Attempts 15 Completions 68.2 Comp. %, 9.4 yds per attempt, 3 TD's, 1 INT(in a comeback bid), ZERO Sacks, For a QB Rating of 118.6
Alex did that in ONE HALF trying to pull us out of the hole that your man Shaun dug.
You talk out your bum about our Defense. For if Shaun could have kept more than his average 1.43(actually it's less) drives going then Alex would NEVER have seen the field. The Defense would not have been as GASSED game in and game out and you would never have put that .38 Special to your head.
Oh and did I mention that Alex did all that behind the SAME Line as Shaun didn't put up numbers behind?
I've stated all along that Shaun didn't work behind the same unit that Alex had to stand behind. Well this time the shoe is on the other foot and Alex performed admirably behind the SAME unit that Shaun was getting pummeled behind.
Just let the hate go bro.
Let it go.

Oh yeah NEWSFLASH!!!
NO team runs 3rd and 4th teamers out there in a regular season game even when they are ahead. Not unless someone gets injured anyway.
It's just not done.
I think that you are having Preseason flashbacks. Nevermind that Alex didn't SEE 3rd and 4th teamers on the field when he was on it.
"Thank you. We will now return you to your regularly scheduled whining session."

Will you please go become a Raiders fan?......and never return here again.

Just my theory:
Do you know why defenses are putting eight in the box against the Niners offense? It's not because of our running game, but because of Shaun Hill. Hill doesn't have the arm strength to throw vertically, therefore defenses are basically playing a cover 1 shell and bringing the strong safety to team up with the LBs up to clog up the short-to-intermediate routes.
Defenses have picked it up. They know ALL of Hill's strengths and weaknesses. During the last two games Shaun Hill's shortcomings have been exposed: He doesn't have the arm strength to make defenses play our team deep.

You "forgot" to tally some of the stats from years past, my friend. But lets not go there......... Im happy for you, I really am....Im sure you've been saving this post for the past 2 years, just waiting for that perfect moment....
As for me, Ive been fooled by Smith enough times to know that his play on Sunday was more of an aberration than a revelation. And for that reason, I think the Niners declared "season over", back to the drawing board....
Well, if thats the case.....I hope they dont get fooled into thinking that Smith is the future of this franchise. Cause that would really hurt.....

Just think.
Let's say Alex is triumphant in Indy.
We know of at least ONE person that will have all kinds of excuses as to why Smith was successful.
And NOT ONE of those excuses will acknowledge that Smith played well.

um
no one is forgetting anything you mentioned there have been multiple posts about all of them. A former number one overall pick looked good and is now again our starting QB after not playing for 2 years, that kinda stands out.
So I truly have no clue wtf you are talking about and it seems this post is simply to say how you feel about Alex Smith which can be done in one of the many other threads

I agree. Dont get me wrong. Im in no position to defend Hill. I was hoping he could carry us for the rest of the season, but I guess he cant. I think Im just more disappointed that we dont have a legit QB on this roster to fill the void. The fact that the masses are gushing over Alex Smith and his one half of good play (compared to a career's worth of nothingness) just shows how devoid of talent this team really is. It also shows how delusional we've become as fans.
I wonder who the last "bust" becoming a superstar 4-5 years later was ? I'll have to think about that one.....

Why do you limit yourself. It's not about THIS season. It's about LAST game. We'll discuss the season when it's over. For now, the 2nd to last drive in the 2nd half of last week's game is ALL that matters. Understand ? That's how losers REMAIN losers.....
