Come on now, don't you start oldman. We're just trying to have a civilized conversation...with a bunch of nutjobs!!! I don't know how many times I have to say that I love the way Smith is playing this year, and I'm excited that he's led this team to a 10-2 record. But because (when asked) I think guys like Rivers, Romo and even Bradford would do just as well in this system (or maybe better), all of a sudden I'm a hater?
Makes no sense.
I can't understand it either Ghost
At this point I see nothing left to do but...
Not a hater, but I just don't see what those guys have done? Romo? He has cost his team many games this season. Look at the Detroit game where they blew a huge lead due to Romo's stupid mistakes. Rivers fumbled a ball in the redzone and blew a game. He's also thrown quite a few picks this season at crucial times, Bradford he's having a worse season than Alex had his 2nd season by far, but he's somehow better?
These guys get more yards and amazing plays, but that also leaves them vulnerable to making big mistakes. Huge mistakes. Why would that change here?
~Romo with one of the top defenses in the league (ours) would be a better option than Smith (IMO) as he wouldn't have to play such a high risk game
~Rivers when playing with one of the better defenses in the league (Chargers 2006 - 2009) led his team to multiple playoffs (Smith is going to his first playoffs)
~Bradford had a better rookie season than Smith by far. In fact, Bradford's rookie season was better on most counts than any of Smith's seasons prior to this one. I'm not going to discount Bradford for one bad season (his second), just as I'm sure you didn't discount Smith for his multiple bad seasons prior to this one.
So your answer is...? Trade for Romo, Rivers, or Bradford? Or just complain incessantly about our QB is playing excellent football and has led our team to 10-2?
The hate just runs DEEP in some people, they can't let go.
Dude, seriously? You didn't even bother to read my other posts on the last few pages. You just assume things and comment without bothering to look for any context, all the good things I've been saying about Alex (in the past and especially today), how I agreed with Harbaugh in bringing back Alex and for keeping him as the starter all year and even beyond if we win it all, and why I'm talking about these other QBs?
People, READ and COMPREHEND before you reply, I beg you.
Your backpedal technique is excellent today, sir! You should see if your local high school JV team needs a DB coach
Show me where I've backpedaled. Please.
It's all good man. If I somehow Jedi mind tricked you into saying positive things about Alex Smith, then today was a success.
LOL @ keeping Alex Smith "if we win it all." As if his play so far this season doesn't already warrant that.
Come on man, PLEASE give us some options at QB that you think we should pursue. And if you say that we should bring in Kaepernick in the red zone I might flip out
Pot, meet backpedaling kettle.
If Alex melts down in the playoffs (I hope he doesn't, and I don't think he will), it won't be as clear cut as you might think that we bring him back. I've already said (if you'll bother to read) that there are no other options this year, we're living and dying with Alex for the rest of this year and I'm perfectly fine with that. I really can't say that any more clearly, but I'm sure you'll ignore that too since it doesn't fit your meme.
As for the future, I would be as confident in Kap starting the 2012 season as I would Alex if Harbaugh felt he was ready. It's the same reason I had confidence in Alex once Harbaugh said he wanted him back. Point being, I have confidence in HARBAUGH to turn his starting QB into a winner, regardless of who it is. Which is why I can say that Romo, Rivers, Bradford, whomever, would thrive in this system.
You have some backpedalling competition from JoeCool. Get to work
Still waiting for you to show me where I backpedaled. Oh wait, you can't. That's right. Shame. You can be a smart ass all night long, but can't actually back up what you're saying. Now I'm starting to feel sorry for you!
Nice try.
Backpedalling - "to retreat from or reverse one's previous stand on any matter; shift ground: to back-pedal after severe criticism."
This is the definition of you and JoeCool during this thread.
Give me one example, or STFU. Should be simple, right?
Sensitive much?
Both you and JoeCool have been consistently throwing out every excuse you can think of as to why Smith is having success. Admittedly, JoeCool much worse than you. You've also said things like you'd be fine with Kaepernick starting over him next year, or Tolzein starting over him next year. You're even comparing Smith to other QB's in the NFL and how they would thrive in this system. Basically anything you can to undercut Smith's success and diminish it.
Then when you get called out for it, you decide to complement Smith on his improved play this season. THAT IS BACKPEDALLING. I'm not gonna go back through all these pages and quote what you said, I don't have the time nor do I care that much. Everyone on here knows that you guys aren't happy with Smith and you will never let go of your hate.
All I'm saying is be consistent at least. Don't hate on the guy and say he's really not that good, and then turn around and say "oh but he's playing well this year." It just makes you look like a hypocrite. And don't act like I'm the only one in this thread who is
