Harbaugh threw passes to Crabtree in warm ups?!?!?! He should have let Smith throw to him, now we'll NEVER be ready for the season!!!!

Agreed wholeheartedly. Reading this thread is like getting a glimpse into the 'b***hy little girls' club. Most times that's all NT amounts to.

The entire premise of Alex Smith succeeding by supporters is that he wasn't put in a position to succeed. And that is happening again. Don't you think that in order for Alex, our starting QB, to have a better chance to succeed in this offense is to get as many starter reps as possible? Why is Harbaugh's decision not to do this any different than previous coaches? Why is it better when Harbaugh isn't putting him in the best position to succeed?

Because Harbaugh....is Harbaugh. Don't question the man alright. Now look into his eyes and tell him you are sorry. And don't be rude, he's got his kid with him.

The eyes strategy is another fail by Sing. Hope Harbaugh doesn't try to imulate that also. However, the kid could be a prospect.

You honestly believe that leaving Alex behind that offensive line given how poorly they were playing would be putting him in the best position to succeed? What's success when you win a meaningless preseason game and your QB has a broken back?

The protection was better when Colin was in. The protection started out bad but got better enough to get throws out.

Let us wait until regular season to put him under distress. THAT will really help.

Its funny because had this been the regular season, and the QB was getting pounded like that in a game in which his team is losing, people would be crying for the starter to be removed and preserved for the following week. So because the games don't count we should leave our #1 QB on the field when it's clear the O-Line is playing terribly? Only in NT do people think backwards....

Why would they "save" the starting QB for the next game? It's regular season, if you're healthy, you play.

We are talking about a new offense that Alex needs to learn how to apply. He wasn't getting sacked every play. The OL started out bad and had certain spots after that. It wasn't on every pass play that HOU applied pressure. Smith's 3rd sack was on him when he hitched forward twice and was late finding a guy. These are things that need to be worked on and run that play again later to see if Smith hits the guy sooner.

I guess we will just wait until regular season and he will make another error like that because he wasn't sure of his read. Too bad he didn't practice it in a preseason game.

Lol how is it "distress" when, according to your analysis, the O-line makes improvements as the game goes on?
Either the O-line is playing poorly or it's not....Joe Staley himself said they played terribly. I tend to believe him. Are you suggesting Harbaugh should have waited it out some more to see if perhaps the O-Line would block better before switching QBs? From my perspective, there was no evidence to hint that the starting O-Line were going to start blocking better as the game progressed...certainly not enough to warrant keeping in my #1 QB in a pointless game.

Okay...let's say the Niners are trailing 40-0 in the 3rd Quarter and Alex has gotten creamed all game long. Do you keep him in because "if you're healthy, you play"? Or do you consider the fact that you won't be victorious this week and put in some backups to get PT while ensuring your starters don't get hurt in a game you're sure to lose? This is what I mean. And it doesn't just apply to QBs either. I'd be pissed as hell if Patrick Willis broke his ankle playing in a blowout loss.

What if the score is 0-0 and our QB is getting creamed?

Obviously didn't watch the game.
