This. I gave come on the zone after being at the games to see people talking about certain plays, and I tell myself that is not how ithappened. Yeahsure soso was open but the ball was in the air and his defender left him. The other is the camera rarely shows the over the top safety who was breaking that way.

If you gave come on the zone, you're getting a little to excited about all this.

thats exactly what matt millen said

he said when watching on tv he was wondering what alex was doing

then he saw gametape

said no one was open and that once harbaugh himself sees the gametape he will realize that alex played well under the circumstances and that harbaugh will be going after WR hard this offseason

Yeah you have to love phone spell checks. It was supposed to be "have come"

After having time to process the end of our season, I'm confident going forward with Smith.

His performance in the Saints game was an all time classic, and he did enough to win vs. the Giants. Could he have been better in the NFCC? Yeah, but he had 2 perfect TD throws to VD, did enough to win the game, and was only done in by KW's blatant idiocy and failure of WRs to get open late once they locked down VD. His performance in those games, specifically THE TWO comebacks vs. NO should help massively build his confidence going in to next season.

This year he finally proved that he can make the big throws, and he played the best football of his career the last 5 games of the season (PIT, SEA, STL, NO, NYG), not throwing any INTs and making several big-time throws in each of the games. I mean, there had to be at least 10 perfectly placed go-routes to Crabs and VD in crucial situations in those games.

We all know Urban Meyer's prophetic words on Smith needing time in the system; this will be his first ever season using the same system, and I can't think of a better one/coaching staff he could be running. All he needs to do this year is play with that sense of urgency he displayed and made him so dangerous in the Saints game, in the 2nd half vs. PIT, late vs. SEA, etc and he'll be a big-time QB. With VD likely to explode plus some much needed WR help, things are looking up.

This statement is contradictory.

If Smith can only throw to VD because he burns his cover man by 5 yards then by that reason there should be no reason why he can't throw to WRs who are "wide open" assuming that "wide open" means beating your man by more than 5 yards. Let's face it, our WR core is sorry.

Dude, this is the Zone. The reasoning is -- Smith has blind love for VD. Until Smith can throw 2 TDs a game to anyone other than VD, we just have to assume Smith missed on 'wide open' D. Walker, Crabtree, Williams, and Swain. There's really no excuse for Smith not to convert those 3rd downs. If his receivers are covered he should be able to throw them open...

OK, I tried to be a hater but it's not working. How do people come up with this ridiculous sh*t to bash a QB of their own team

this

Anyone that has watched Niners games live since Alex was drafted knows that he lacks field vision and has ignored open receivers down field his entire career. It's why he has lost his starting to job to street free agent backups numerous times.
