How knowledgeable is the 49ers fanbase AS A WHOLE? | Page 11

Wubbie · 2011-06-22T11:45:31-07:00

So, how knowledgeable is the 49ers fanbase as a whole? Of course, I would say the majority of people who come here to the Webzone are very well up-to-date. And with the amount of media coverage on the Internet, it's VERY easy to keep up with the team. But if you go into Candlestick and you gauge how kept-up the overall fanbase is, how would you compare it to other franchises? The reason I ask this is because I'm curious how the fans will react to Alex Smith, Michael Crabtree, Aldon Smith, and the coaching staff. For instance, most people I talk to don't really LIKE the idea of Alex Smith returning, but they understand it and think it's our best option. Coach Harbaugh has been trying to talk up Alex Smith, but I wonder how he'll be treated when we have our first game. I'm wondering if the boos come out after incompletions... but eh... Winning cures everything, so that should be the easiest way to shut people up. Michael Crabtree has been slammed this offseason for a perceived lack of participation with the team, but I don't know if the "overall fanbase" has noticed this. Most up-to-date posters realize that Aldon Smith and a LOT of our draft class is a bit of a raw project, but I wonder if the "overall fanbase" realizes this. And does our "overall fanbase" realize that Harbaugh and the coaching staff have the cards dealt against them with a shortened offseason? Most people know that the lockout hurts our team, with a rookie coaching staff and QB problems, maybe more than any other team in the league. I'll just get frustrated if boos come out unnecessarily. I'm excited for the season, but I can see why we could start off slow.

Hmm, that's debatable. I'm sure there are passionate fans for each team. I have friends that are HARDCORE Raider, Packer, Viking, and Chief fans.

I cant wait for the day the 49ers go into Arrowhead and destroy the Chefs 63-0.

Let me ask you this. Pick a team where you think the team has knowledgeable fans. Dont you think fans of that team would have been booing ALex and chanting for the backup if he was their QB for 6 abysmal years?

Wouldnt ALex have been run out of town years ago in Philadelphia? Dallas? Pittsburgh?

(Also I find it completely comical that you ALex apologists say its embarrassing that we were chanting for a terrible quarterback, when said quarterback's career QB rating was higher than ALex's. Just funny to me)

AMEN!!!! PREACH IT LIKE IT IS!! ALEX SMITH IS THE WORST IN THE LEAGUE, IM SICK OF HIM, AND ANY SUPPOSED NINER FAN THAT STILL WANTS HIM, IS A SADIST FAN WHO LIKES THE PITY ATTENTION THEY GET FROM 6 YEARS OF LOOSING! DOES MOMMY RUB YOUR BACK WITH THAT FROWN THAT COMES WITH LOOSING? WELL, IM TIRED OF BEING THE MOCHARY OF THE LEAGUE! EVEN THE RAIDERS ARE LOOKING BETTER! F WORD ALEX SMITH!

Wubbie...I'm truly sorry I mentioned the "WE WANT CARR" chant and unintentionally thread jacked your topic.

It was not my intention to discuss Alex Smith, but apparently any mention of anything remotely related to Alex Smith causes problems.

Stop talking about Alex Smith guys.

I know you Mods are sick and tired of hearing people argue about ALex, but if we are going to talk about the 49ers, inevitably he will come up. He has been the QB for this team for 6+ years, and looks like it is going to be even longer. I just dont understand how you expect us to talk about our team, but not mention the player who plays the most important position on it.

Im not trying to get banned here, Im just merely pointing out how unrealistic it is for mods to expect fans not to mention our quarterback in threads about our team.

There are threads specifically for Alex Smith. But this isn't one of them.

The current policy is to have all discussion on Alex Smith in his official thread in the free agency forum. This is the rule. It is not, at this time, open for further change.

It's not that the fact that he is discussed. It's not the fact that there are differing opinions.

It's the fact that he is brought up in seemingly every thread and it turns in to bickering, the same tired arguments and pot shots.

So every now and then we ask that you get back on topic, because we don't want any more people banned over Alex smith.

50% are convinced that bad coaching and injuries have caused Alex Smith not to be the next Joe Montana, what does that tell you?
