This is a great point and fits right in with Sing's motivational mentality he thrives on. He's not trying to hate on the kid, but to prepare him for greater things to come, which is totally all up to Davis.

Who's that QB that used to play on the Falcons back in the 90's who had a crazy canon and then he bounced around the league for a few years after his Falcon's gig I think he also played on the raiders. Name's on the tip of my tongue. He comes to mind here. Lacked work ethic.

Jeff George, that's it.

I still have Jeff George's rookie card.

What was the point of bringing up Jeff George? Are you trying to say that Nate Davis just has a big arm and nothing more to offer? It's funny how nobody mentioned much about his arm strength, but as soon as he tosses a massive bomb like that, people wanna act like he's a one-trick pony and that's all he's got.

He was inconsistent. So were his receivers. He put the ball in spots where his guys should have caught them, but dropped them, at least 3 times. Whenever that happens to Alex, it's never Alex's fault, but apparently when it happens to any other QB, it's the QB's fault.

There's no denying he was inaccurate and inconsistent at times today. But, I'm confused as to what Singletary expects out of a guy with a learning disability that only gets 2 reps during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 team activities, seeing as how many dyslexics learn in a hands-on environment a lot easier than they learn from a text book.

It sounds like he's mad that Nate Davis didn't call up his coaches every day of the offseason so he (Singletary) is assuming he wasn't trying to learn. He needs more reps, not only in games, but in practice.

Read Singletary's quote, he lacks the work ethic, hasn't put in the work to learn the offense and in the game he missed a lot of blocking calls that he should've made and lacked awareness of down and distance

first post, couldn't lurk any longer without posting:

Collinsworth's mouth just got tired from gargling Favres gonads the entire game that he just said something, anything, that was actually going on in the game, just to give him a moment to think of something else to say that related to 'getting farve on that plane...'

I read the quote. He questioned whether or not Nate Davis was working on his understanding of the playbook over the offseason. Where did he state he lacked work ethic? He's mad cuz Nate wasn't hounding his coaches like Taylor Mays does.

Lacked awareness of down and distance? On ONE play. Come on.

Davis showed some highs and lows...his 60+ yd strike to Ginn was a thing of beauty...he made good decisions to throw the ball away in the RZ when the receivers were covered. But, he slid prematurely when he could've had a 1st down and could've run for another 1st but threw an INC. The physical talent's there...but he needs to work on his situational awareness and consistency. To be fair, this was his most extended PT this year. Coach is trying to light a fire under him to upgrade the mental part of his game.

Alex Smith hater sighting...

Singletary is merely saying Davis lacks work ethic and was disappointed. I assume he expects greatness from Davis while you expect a dyslexic QB. How do you know what Davis' work ethic is? I tend to believe the coach then a arn chair webzone poster.

And I'm not sure how hard he worked in the offseason in getting that done. So when I talk about work ethic, you just can't turn it on and turn it off.

and the awareness was more than one play. He tried to throw deep into coverage on a play he was wide open to pick up the 3rd and short by running. There was a couple other instances throughout the half too
