I was thinking the same thing after I rarely tuned in to Chronicle Live. Not only that fool, but Ann Killion and the other jack ass they had in studio. I could understand them trying to be professionally realistic, but it felt like they were going out of their way to trash the team.

Felt the same. To close off the show they were throwing paper airplanes. On one of the throws the plane went backwards and the Sacramento guy said "That is like a negative pass, kind of like Alex Smith's passing stats for a game.".

Being realistic =/ Hate

So we are upset at a guy who has 7 years of 49ers film to bakup his statement and thoughts on Alex Smith? Harbaugh was even quoted as saying the QB job was Alex Smith's to lose. That's not exactly uber confidence in Alex Smith...thinking that there's a possibility he could lose a job to a rookie from a pistol offense.

Alex Smith must prove what we have seen in the past 7 years is not what we will see this year, not the other way around. Koz has every right to think this since every year, the key questionmark has been the QB.

It's so easy to bad talk the 49ers these days. You don't have to do any research, don't have to know anything about the players or coaches. All you have to do is say they still suck reflecting only on the past and your colleagues just pad you on the back and say I can't argue.

At least now you can tell the real journalists from the lazy phonies that just surf Twitter for current events. If the 49ers start winning it will be fun to watch all the blowhards back peddle and eat some crow. More than likely though they'll never be challenged by their colleagues and act as if they knew all along. I would bet not one of these self-anointed know-it-alls ever played organized sports let alone football.

If I thought "Koz" had any knowledge or understanding of the Niners, or of NFL football for that matter, I might be inclined to agree. But having listened to "Koz" as a radio guy for the Sacramento Kings, and a "sports talk" guy on Sacramento's KFBK for a number of years, one thing stands out: "Koz" really doesn't know much about sports.

His "sports talk" show was impossible to listen to because he NEVER talked sports--always turned the conversation to his own interests: movies he'd seen, his favorite food, gossip, etc. I've never heard him utter anything that showed the slightest in-depth knowledge of the Kings or NBA basketball, for example, although he might be able to tell you about a player who preferred chicken over steak, or some other nonessential bull.

So now he's an expert on the Niners, and on QB play, and knows ANYTHING about Alex Smith's history with the Niners? Extremely doubtful.

He's just mouthing what he's heard others say. Or maybe he reads Ninertalk--although that's highly doubtful, cause it would show something more than just a passing interest in the Niners. He's not as dumb as Dennis O'Donnell (who cannot even get the players straight on the field), but he's never played any sport at any level--I'm guessing (he's maybe 5'4")--and doesn't get "into" any sport enough to really know it well.

Listen to the questions he asks--all superficial and none based on an understanding of the game. He couldn't tell you the difference between the digit system and the WCO, and may not know that either of them even exists.

He knows the positions, but I doubt he knows what, exactly they do. "Post route vs Screen?" "Draw vs. Counter?" Foreign language to him. Likewise for the difference between a 3-4 defense and a 4-3. "Tampa Two or man to man?" Simply too "in depth" for him to learn, and not what he thinks he needs to know to be a talking head on a sports show.

He's not a bad guy, but he's also not a former coach, or a former player, or even a former journalist who's covered a team over many years and actually learned anything about it. He can cover the Warriors, Kings, Monarchs, Sharks, Raiders and Niners equally--which means he knows little about any of them, but can talk alot of statistics and generally BS his way through a game or an interview.

Your belief that he has "seven years of film" on Alex Smith assumes that he'd spend any time actually watching that film, or that he'd understand what he's watching, or that he's even watched the Niners on TV over the past seven years. Not likely.

... and another one that plays like it

I'm sure he's only mouthing what he has heard but he does talk to NFL players and analysts and I have a feeling noone, if so then very few, are giving Alex Smith praise.

Like I said, we have 7 years of more eff-ups by Alex Smith than success. Alex must prove it and no one loses credibility in saying he hasn't proven jack and is the weak link right now.
