This. I do my best to wear something after a loss. They're my team, for better or worse.

What gives? In general it doesn't seem the zone is as pumped up about Troy Smith as I am.

I actually think some people are bummed because he should dump Alex Smith down to second string. I know it is only one game, and many back ups only shine in back up roles, and don't make good starters.
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.

REALLY!! Come on now. I am not going to get pumped over 1 game. Troy was a unknown commodity that Denver really know what to expect. Now there is game film and the Rams will be better prepared. The O was watered down for him. It is way to early to get excited.

Are you pumped over 2 games? In his first game he showed abilities we haven't seen since Garcia. Given the O-line sucks, even with all the high draft picks, he can succeed in spite of them, which Alex Smith could not.



Not yet!!! He has potential, I will admit, however it is just 2 games. Even the announcers said that the Rams had very little game tape and didn't know what to expect. They even went back to his game film from when he was at Ohio State. Johnson had a GREAT game plan and we took advantage. Lets not lose sight that we beat the Lambs!!!! IN OVERTIME no less. Our opponents the rest of the year are pretty vanilla. He gives me reason to get excited but I personally am going to temper that until next year. Even then I don't even know if he will stay around. He may feel that he needs to follow Sing and leave. Plus new coach may want to bring his own guy in. Will see. The only thing I have to get excited about is when Sing gets handed his walking papers!!!

Not only did Troy Smith make heroic plays at the end of the game, not only did he throw for more yards than we have seen around here for 6+ years (?), but he also probably had the highest quarterback rating that we have seen for 6+ years (?).

Oh ya, I almost forgot. He is 2-0.

The Rams are for real. They have a serious quarterback, with a good defense and will be a thorn in our sides for the next decade.

"Heroic plays" Really!?! I digress, he beat 2 below .500 teams. It is laughable how so many people on the zone are so eager to anoint a savior. Everyone is acting as if we found the next Joe Montana. When he beats a playoff caliber team with a top 5 D then I may concede. Why should I get excited over a player that may not even be on our team next year. I can say that he is the best QB that the niners have. That is not saying much! God willing this will be Sing's last year as our coach and we will hire a new HC that will want to bring in his own QB to groom. Plus Troy may want to cash in on a big pay day. We did only sign him to 1 yr contract. Another thing, I also wonder why the Ravens would cut him. They kept a aging Marc Bulger over Troy Smith. Ozzie Newsom is a great GM and talent evaluator. Why would he pick Marc over Troy? There had to be more than just height. I'm just saying!!!

The Rams at the time were at .500 and have a top 10 defense. So yes Troy did beat a pretty decent team with a good defense. Before the loss to the 49ers the Rams were the division leaders by the way...just a little FYI. Did you also know that if it were not for an illness Troy Smith would be the starting QB in Baltimore?? You might want to check up on your football before you come in here with your high and mighty attitude.
With Singletary seemingly trying to rebuild his beloved 85' Bears, he has finally found the "McMahon" to his "Ditka".

The good thing about Troy is unlike our recent QB's, I don't think his personality will allow him to be content with Singletary's running philosophy. He's the closest thing to a maverick on the roster and I could definitely see him changing up plays.

What does he really have to lose? If he changes it up and looks good he either gets a contract with us or an audition tape for other teams.
Troy is our own version of Vick. Man I bet a lot of people on here must be thinking twice about vick.

There D ranked 12th in the league. They have beaten Redskins, Seahawks, Chargers, and the Panthers. They lost to the Lions 44 -6!!! That is hardly a resume to brag about. This team took us into overtime. Maybe you should check out your football before you type!!! You and most of everyone on here are jumping on his band wagon after 2 wins. Against the Denver Broncos who are 3-6 with and the Rams who are 4-5. Broncos have the 25th ranked D and Rams have the 12th ranked. I do not consider either of them as a playoff contender. If you think they are playoff teams you need help!!! EVERYONE is blinded by the W's. While the W's are nice they come against weak opponents. Obviously he is not sick this year so why did they cut him?

Troy Smith is good and has a lot of potential. Anyone can tell that by watching him play. I dont want to hear people comparing him to Shaun Hill and all those other jokers. Everyone knew in their heart that they were not the answer, it was evident that they were average QB's that were capable of not losing the game.

Whether or not people want to admit it. Troy Smith is obviously a player of a different caliber. He won the heisman, took his team to the national championship, and throughout his college career threw for 54 TD's and 13 interceptions.

I dont know why he was dropped by the Ravens, perhaps because they went a different road with Flacco and that turned out fine for them. However this is now his 3rd or 4th year in the NFL (not sure) and that is usually when you want to see your QB's developed. I dont doubt that he learned things as a backup and became a better player.

I am not saying that he is a gurantee, however there is most def. room for optimism, and I for one think that he could be the QB that the 49ers need.

If you think they are playoff teams you need help!!! EVERYONE is blinded by the W's. While the W's are nice they come against weak opponents. Obviously he is not sick this year so why did they cut him?

The Rams defense is ranked 6th for points allowed with only allowing an average of 18.2 points per game. A defense can allow 9000 yards per game but if they are not allowing the other teams offense to put points on the board then they are a solid defense. The Rams defense is 12th in yards allowed. To blow off the Rams defense and say they are not a good defense is just ridiculous. So yes I do know what I am talking about before I type. Maybe you should look at other stats besides just yards allowed. Unless you don't realize that the team with the most yards isn't always the team that wins, it is the team with the most points.

Nobody is anointing Troy Smith the savior of the world, but rather excited about the new energized offensive spark he has brought to the team after a pathetic start to the season. Troy Smith is clearly a play maker and you can't see that. Your eyes are stuck on " OMGZ HE WUZ CUT FROM BALTIMORE, HE IS THE SUXORS!" He has some things he needs to improve upon, but right now he is the best chance the 49ers have at winning any games right now.

To you statement about "everyone being blinded by the W's" Is that not what matters? If a team is winning why b***h and complain? "OMGZ TROY SMITH IS THE SUXORS BUT WE'RE WINNING" So to all of "US" that are blinded by the winning I have this to say GO f**kING NINERS!!!!
