Which offensive skilled player do you think our offense should be geared towards | Page 3

With our team finally having some continuity and hopefully an upgrade to the offensive line... which offensive skilled player do you think our offense should be geared towards? We can debate that QB Alex Smith has shown some signs of improvement over the years, but has struggled at times. We all know he is more comfortable out of the shotgun, as opposed to being under center. With the addition of A. Davis and Iupati and the support of the coaches and upper management, Smith should be able to perform better than he has ever performed in 2010. RB Frank Gore is our workhorse. He can take it to the house if given adequate blocking and stays healthy. He's a tough runner and a tough all-around player. Gore is reliable as a receiver out of the backfield as well. TE Vernon Davis is a beast. He proved that last year while making his first probowl and having the statistics to go along with it. He is one of our fastest players and has shown improvement in his hands. WR Crabtree emerged as a playmaker during his partial rookie campaign. Imagine what he could do with a full season and better pass protection for Alex Smith? Although he still has a lot to prove, I believe he will be an elite receiver in the NFL one day.

As much as I would like it to be Smith, I still think they are gearing for Gore and the running game. The OL we picked up are both maulers that should be able to open some holes for Gore...

He is the QB, he needs to lead the team. In order to do so, he will need Jimmy Raye, along with Singletary to gear the offense to his needs. Everyone else can follow. Hopefully our offense will improve from last season.

I agree

Correct. And his best chance for success is in a spread style offense.
