Inconvenient Truth #1: Alex Smith is a Good Quarterback
this is still up for debate. some games he didn't f**k up, others he looked good. his full career still leaves something to be desired, he'll have to do more than this to sway me. sorry if some of you are trying to be first on the bandwagon to be able to berate everyone when they're wrong, i'm going to go with what i've seen of him throughout his career and reserve calling him a good qb for when he keeps this up for a whole season.
Inconvenient Truth #2: The Offensive Line Does Not Suck
the talent has never sucked. its always been shoddy execution, which they have been guilty of for 3.5 games this year. lets not crown their asses just yet.
Inconvenient Truth #3: The 49ers have a Pretty Good Secondary
you mean the same one that dallas made look silly? aside from that game, yeah, they are pretty decent. i don't know if i'd feel comfortable putting them against an elite passing attack, but they are easily good enough to win games.
Inconvenient Truth #4: Frank Gore is still Frank Gore
frank gore is still frank gore because he actually started giving a damn when he realized he was about to lose his job. gore didn't look like he gave a s**t for the first three games, looked like he was playing to not get injured.
Inconvenient Truth #5: Jim Harbaugh Knows What He's Doing
i've been beating this drum since day one. harbaugh is legit, anyone who's actually followed his career would have known that. there were people here who were going "omgzzz college coaches suck in da nflzzz" back in january. there's a difference between succeeding big at a major program and succeeding big at stanford, one actually requires a great coach. dude came in here with the lockout killing his offseason and so so talent on the roster and has the ship headed in the right direction. i never doubted him, as i was pretty much going to give him a free pass this season.
What do you care about Alex's whole career? That's not the player he is NOW! 05, 06, 07 don't matter anymore. I don't care if the guy failed for 1,000 years. If he can succeed now and lead the team to wins that is GREAT!....
