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.

Smith had the same OC from last year, too.

Warner > Leinart

Smith = Smith

And? He still has more than one option on pass plays. If Smith =Smith, the 49ers = Done.

Oh, I get you now... I was saying that the #2 in Red Zone efficiency this year is the fluke. Those years above are more the standard.

I scratch his rookie year because of the team talent and he was a rookie. I also scratch the post injury stats of 2007.
2006 D
2007 F
2009 C-
This year he's been up and down so far; but, I'd put him in the C- to D+ area. If it wasn't for the Saints game he'd be in the D to F area.

He has a QB rating of 100+ in the redzone from last year too.

Alex's problem isnt the redzone. We've known this. His problem is GETTING there. That goes for our entire offense.

If you scratch the 6 picks from his rookie year it's 86.4.

Have you compared red zone efficiency stats from his "good" seasons? IIRC, he was pretty decent last season.

I call 2007 a fluke/scratch, personally.

In my books, that leaves him about a C- overall. You'd say D+ without 2007, yeah?

All I want is C+

To compete in the post-season we need a B to B+ guy. A top 10 QB is not to unreasonable to want.
