ALL of these are pretty popular answers

If Alex played that game and lost (which I'm sure he would have, given he couldn't even beat the Panthers), you would have said:

~ It was a team loss
~ Our D could't stop Lloyd, which was why we lost
~ Nedney wasn't accurate
~ Too many penalties that can't all be put on Alex
~ Our O-line didn't give him enough time
~ VD was out of the game
~ Morgan is overrated
~ Sing sucks
~ It was in London and the team was tired
~ Smith's coordinator just got changed and has no balls and is Sing's puppet
~ Gore kept getting inexplicably pulled for Dixon and Westbrook
~ We had a weak gameplan
~ Our WR's have alligator arms, run wrong routes, and would be backups on other teams
~ etc. (many other Alexcuses)
I know you don't like to give Alex blame when he deserves it, but at least give Troy credit when he does.

just relieved we got a win. . . .steamin willy beamen in the house

What is it, I thought this place would be rocking after Sunday's game. I know the season is shot, but maybe Troy gives us something to look forward to for the rest of the season.

As much as I am pumped about Troy. I want to see if he can keep up the good work. If Troy gets the start against the rams, I beleive you will see a fury of threads on the topic and at that poin you will see everybody start to really focus in on him.

WTF are you talking about? It was 10-10 when Smith was injured. Then your Niner Talks ex-boyfriend David "We Want" Carr threw the game down the toilet.

yall can while about that play all that you want but that was dawkins and Champ that got beat. And if they can misjudge it the so can may of the other DB's in the league. Hell i just appreciate the fact that he has the ball to throw that pass. aint no way alex throws anything near that kinda pass.

It was all false hope and over rated hype. Why will Troy Smith be any different? Honestly. I think had Alex not been injured we would have beat Carolina, Denver and went into the bye 3-5. But in the end it doesn't really matter. He's still not that good and at the end of the day...we still need a new QB. Same with Troy Smith...we handed the ball off 35+ times and yes he made plays when he needed to (like most back ups do) ...but it doesn't change the fact that we have a serious need at GM, head coach, QB, and a litany of other areas.

So yeah..it's hard to get "pumped" up about the this win. I mean it's nice and it's a cool story in a "Rudy" kinda way. I'm rooting for Troy the same way I'd root for any 3rd stringer who never gets a chance and works hard. But beyond that...it's hard to get excited about this team.

But hey...I could be wrong and Troy Smith could be our savior and the next Favre-Flutie-hero type player. That'd be awesome for sure.

Go 49ers.

Anybody that might unseat Alex Smith as our starting QB will get his efforts downplayed on the 49erswebzone. It's an unwritten rule amongst Smith supporters.

One thing he has going is luck! Carr is just no good. Alex just seemed to have a dark cloud hovering over him. Troy should have been sacked, thrown a pick or two and whatever else in that game. He hasn't been around much and just had a week to practice with starters. Don't get me wrong, I think he's more athletic than Alex/Carr and has some skills, but he also seems to bring some good luck with him.

The timing could be just right for him. He's use to being under some kind of pressure. Just being around Ray Lewis and other guys in that Ravens locker room must have helped him get mentally tough, if he wasn''t already. He was preparing to be the Starter before Flacco took over the show.

He has two more weeks to jel with the offense. Mike Johnson will open the playbook a little more once this guy shows some promise. One game doesn't mean a lot! Hopefully, Singletary will just let MJ get more creative and stay the f**k away from the offense.

Personally, I liked this kid since he was at Ohio St. I didn't think he was tall enough to be a starter in the NFL, but who knows... Vick is about 6'0 and Brees is 5'11 and it doesn't end there with short but productive QBs.

Troy is hungry and excited to get his shot. I think he'll do well unless the coaches f**k with his head!

~ He's not Alex Smith so his efforts will not be praised.
