16 TD's and 16 INTs is not a good stat across 16 games. 18TDs in 11 games is better; but with a higher than 1 INT per game average, it's not all that good either. In fact it's just below average as QB's go.

Also, look at the games before the injury in 07 and tell me if he's in line or below this 1 TD/Game ratio? (just a heads up in the 3 games before his injury he had 1 TD and 1 INT total)

Did not answer question.

He needs to throw the damn ball down the field more. Did pretty good last year, so why the f**k not? It's combination of his inconsistency/ineptitude + Singletary's "vision" of the offense.

It's not just Alex under Raye; he's always been low in this category. Remember it took him 9 games to get his first TD. In his best season, he only threw for 18 TDs and his career average is less than 1 TD per game (even if you omit his rookie year) I hope I'm wrong; but, history tells me that the #2 stat is a fluke...

Wait... didn't Smith throw 18 TDs in 11 games last season? He threw 16 in 16 in '06.

Let's see... he didn't play in '08. He had a shoulder injury in '07 (Alexcuse?). His rookie season he may have been the worst looking QB in NFL history.

Which ones are flukes?

ok im not saying it was great but considering kwame harris at RT we didnt have a LT at all brandon lloys was our 1 WR 16 td and 16 int is not half bad

last year also was good not great but good

Don't get me wrong either; I'm not saying Alex has been total crap. He's just been below average to average. IMO a 1st overall pick should be a bit better than that and in order to continuously make it to the playoffs we need an Above Average QB to lead the team.

Is it his decisions or the play calling, though?

ok that i can agree on

however unlike you i acually think he can be that qb but we have to see if raye was the problem or if it was raye and alex

we should find out in the next 2 weeks

Seems like every interception this year by Alex was a short throw... Throw deep you p***y! Thing about Alex when he throws deep is it gets to his man or he overthrows it, but when he's throwing short he rushes the pass and it has a higher chance of getting tipped by these s**tty receivers. Both are at fault but he needs to start throwing passes around 10 or more yards god dammit

You were talking about flukes. I wanted to know which of Smith's seasons are flukes.

Let me grade them so you don't think I'm asking as an "Alexcuser".

2005: F -

2006: C -

2007: F -

2008: DNP

2009: C

He still has more than one option to throw to. Matt Leinart was getting the same plays called for him this preseason that Warner had last year, but Matt Leinart chose the short passes and got cut.
