How would you grade the skill positions for the passing offense for this year?

QB= B (solid play, very few turnovers)
RB/FB= A- (Gore, Hunter, and the emergence of Miller
TE= B (Good play, good blocking, too many drops, not enough targets)
WR= C+(Crabtree, Morgan, and Williams are solid but need to add a gamechanger + depth)

this

QB=B+
WR=C-
TE=B
HB/FB=B+

I've give qb a solid B- because of our putrid ol
for the wr, te, rb I'd alos give a solid B because they also have to put up with a putrid ol and a conservative qb.

Solid B for the WRs? Really? Morgan is no better than a 2 on his best day. Ginn is trash at WR. Crabs is good but still just a very good number 2. Williams has potential but who knows what he can be. He's a 3rd WR at best right now. Everyone else is blah. So how is all that a solid B?

Sorry I miss worded what I asked originally. I changed it to Passing Offense.

QB = B+ (deep pass is getting better; need better redzone passing; extra credit for very few TOs)
WR = C (need to get open more, and less drops)
TE = B- (need less drops)
HB/FB = B+ (need better RZ execution)
OL = C+ (showed in some games; but not in others)

Hmm...agree and disagree:

QB = B (did well considering lack of TC/mini-camps & WRs)
WR = D+ (injuries reduced this squad to below average, as did Edwards)
TE = B- (injuries drop this group)
HB = B+ (Gore did not play his A game but was solid as were Hunter & Dixon)

Being handicapped learning a new system and having injuries to skill position players this was a good unit...next year sky is the limit (if they find another WR)!

I'm sorry Bro. Considering where this team has come from and what were the expectations at the beginning I have to give this team an A all around. Maybe the WR's get a B+. But a B+ at QB, are you serious? A C+ at HB/FB? TE's a B-? How the hell are you grading? Are we grading the game or the season

I changed the question. I was thinking in my head but didn't type out what I really was thinking. I was grading the passing offense.

reading this board and some of the posters... ... its a solid F all around.
And it doesn't matter if we are 13-3.

According to some we are going down in flames because our QB is the worst in the league and cant throw a 1 yard pass.

They have done what they have been asked to do all season with no offseason and new coaching staff. I give them all an A for helping get this team to 13-3!

Thank you. Some of us do pay attention. Going from 6-10 to 13-3 just don't quite cut it for some.

Personally... I just think we need a better offensive coordinator.

The offensive play calling is getting entirely too predictable.


This 3rd and 23, Run or 3rd and 23, Screen are getting old and is the reason we can't score in the RedZone.

Not to mention;
1st and Goal --- Run
2nd and Goal --- Run
3rd and Goal --- Run
FIELD GOAL...

Harbaugh likes to talk about how he feels that Alex Smith is an Elite QB....
But explain to me why;
- We don't see more down field passes? I mean hell.... Smith hits a majority of these passes so why do we not do it more often?
- Why in the Redzone when we are at 1st and Goal and 2nd and Goal do we not see Alex Smith attempt to toss one into the endzone? What's the worse that will happen? He will run it in like he did today?


IMO all of our problems lay in our playcalling, our team is solid.
