Does anyone remember an interview with Steve Young where he was telling the story about how he had just taken over for Montana and the fans and even his team mates really we're on his side but then one game early in the season, maybe even game 4 or 5. He got into an argument I want to say with a coach? or a player? or something and he showed his team mates he had the fire and the passion and he said after that they really rallied around him and the whole team started playing better b/c they really started playing for him.... Does anyone remember this or did I dream it up?? The reason i'm asking is b/c i'm PRAYING to GOD that last night was our teams "rallying" point. Hopefully they saw the fire in Alex and that he really does care. I know on that last drive he thru the pick but really the O-line didn't help him at all... I"m trying to hold onto anything here guys.... I can't believe we're 0-5.... and with the Raiders coming to town.... we WILL win this week. Mark my words, we WILL win and Alex WILL play well!!!!! GO NINERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another thing that's different. Steve Young will sacrifice his body for a first down. Alex Smith will not.

that's just not true.

Hasn't Alex shown that "fire" in a handful of separate occasions already but never managed to carry it through? That's one cycle I wish would just end already... whether he keeps that fire going or he flames out.

Seems like after every game, I keep hearing "it's not entirely Alex's fault"... it may not be entirely his fault, but he seems to be the common denominator.

I dunno, it's like he wants to be so cautious that he doesn't enjoy the game. When he just forgets about all his own bs and he tries really hard when the pressures on and he puts 100% concentration on the game, he can catch fire. But normally it's like the game is moving too fast for him and he's too cautius, hesitating and resulting in INTs or missed throws. That's just a personal observation how he only plays well when he's stressed.
