The Alex Smith Experiment - Uncharted Territory?

another Alex Smith thread..

could you beat this dead horse any harder?

Its definitely unchartered territory. We're going to find out what he can do with a better OLine, and with 2 years in the same system, with time to work with his weapons. I think that's going to be enough for him to succeed personally.

Personally, improved WRs, better Defense, Better OL, and the same OC should be enough for even the crappiest QBs to improve. I don't care about improvement anymore, just get the damn TDs when we need them.

Let's beat this horse some more.

Cant think of an exactly similar situation at all,Vince Young almost but anyway,Alex will do just fine,if not,Nate will set the league on fire i'm predicting...

of course, it's a zombie horse.

Smith

In 2010, give Smith the ball to start the season, and this time let him call some more plays at the line. Blitz is coming, let him change up that play, so he can use the opposing defenses speed against them. A few last minute changes before the snap, can make a broken play or a sack, a first down. This is why Manning is so hard to beat. Give him full reign, and let him prove himself all the way. He is smart, let him use all his strengths, and the reason we drafted him #1. He called a few successful audibles this last season, when he got the chance. Let him make this HIS offense. Of course if he fails, there is no more possible excuses.

Smith isn't going to be the problem next year. I'm going to guess it might be our secondary and pass rush or even the offensive line.

I agree with you here I feel the Oline again unless we adress it with the draft but knowing mcckuess he will take a turd

True, if Smith doesn't improve, I'm going to be very disappointed.

I think Kevin Lynch nailed it:

Quote:
The bottom line - even without Tebow, the quarterback position might be in much better shape than many think. Even though Singletary's support of Alex Smith was tepid after the season, the 49ers will likely have him as the starter heading into training camp and say what you will about Smith, he has improved every year he's had a chance to perform.

Just something to consider - Smith threw 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions last year. Does anyone believe that his TD-int ratio will go down next season with a full training camp and a second year with the same offense and the same receivers, particularly Michael Crabtree? So lets say in a full season he'll throw 23 or 24 touchdowns and keep his interceptions at 12 or less, that should be enough for a fairly successful passing game. Then throw in an even better defense and a tough-minded running game and now you can seriously talk playoffs.
