For all of the Alex haters who ignored and were in denial about how important the changeover in OC's really was. Following is an excerpt from a Yahoo article on the difficulty McNabb is having in picking up the Skin offensive system. Coach Mike Shanahan noted that McNabb is essentially learning to speak a different language with different progressions and different footwork. Even a good student such as McNabb isn’t going to master it right away. “It’s going to take some time where he feels it’s second nature,” Mike Shanahan said. “It usually takes a couple of years, even for a veteran.” McNabb Article

All you have to do is look two years back, when Favre was on the Jets. He was running an offense that he was unfamiliar with. He jumped ship to Minnesota the next year and they ran the west coast offense which he knew quite well. He did a lot better as a Viking than he did as a Jet.

So who do you think will have the better season, Alex or McNabb?

A. It's an article about McNabb, who is not a 49er.

B. There are dozens of Smith threads you could have stated your opinion in.
