0-1 is all i care about Harbaugh, and all i remember to care. If he checks his ego and hands the ball to Frank Gore we win.

f**k Harbaugh, f**k Baalke. f**k that era. Let it die.

The word im looking for is appreciation... How many teams never smelled a Super Bowl morning? Blame the a*****e that backstabbed him.

I see not many was here for the 9-10 years before Harbaugh huh? Alot of new fans i see... or a bad case of amnesia?

Appreciation that's the word not Celebration..

I like that Shanahan's offense is sustainable, creative, and evolving depending on that week's opponent.

Well since you brought it up, let's get into that. Go on

Thank you sir, Gladly

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/904432-san-francisco-49ers-coach-jim-harbaugh-turned-alex-smith-around-how


"The fans of the San Francisco 49ers have watched Alex Smith's progression from community pariah to his now near hero-hood. How did he get from there to here?

In the past several years of Alex Smith's career he had become the butt of jokes, the target for fans to spit out venom and bile at and the center of the blame for the 49ers poor performances.

The gold-digging group of guys were left with dirty faces and hands from their failure to find winning gold. A couple of good men but misguided coaches left them the joke of the NFC West.


It was solidly believed he would be traded before the start of the 2011 season in favor of practically any rookie or backup quarterback traded for or bought up in the free agent market. Rumors swarmed like the swallows of Capistrano. It was agreed by a great majority of people who cared about San Francisco football that he would be gone by the start of the pre-season.

Then a rookie coach, from a fans' point of view seemingly naive about the pitfalls and requirements of professional coaching in the NFL, a man without any NFL coaching experience, a person who should have known better, dropped a bombshell.

New coach Jim Harbaugh announced that the San Francisco 49ers would have Alex Smith as a quarterback after the lockout of 2011 ended.

Pundits rushed to their keyboards to announce his ignorance and foolishness. Fans went into apoplectic snits. People excoriated both Harbaugh and Balke for such a poor decision. Everyone, yours truly included, hopefully predicted another losing but building season."

And yet, six games and a third of the way through the 2011 season, the 49ers have an astounding 5-1 record. As they go into their seventh week bye they are rated by various pundits as the fourth, fifth or sixth rated team of the 32 teams in the NFL.


How in heck did this happen?

Coach Harbaugh is sly and smarter than fans and pundits gave him credit for being.

He was experienced with two major areas of NFL coaching: He'd been a quarterback himself and knew the position from behind the eyes of the guy under the NFL's highest pressure. And he'd coached college quarterbacks who also were initially under-rated into bowl-winning quarterbacks of dominating teams.

He instinctively felt he had the key to coaching Alex Smith: Compliments along with competent and constant teaching, a mentoring if you will, would bring out the best Alex had to offer.

This method of handling a heretofore jittery and mistake-prone quarterback has worked to produce a very good manager of the offense. That left the defense to limit opposing teams to scanty scores.

All Smith needed to get his career back on track was some positive reinforcement. The horse-whisperer method is very persuasive.

And the 49ers have a season record of five wins and one very close loss.

I would be very surprised if Alex Smith progressed to top the quarterbacks in all of the statistical and thrilling heights of Brady, Brees and Rodgers. But he works well for a team coming out of the doldrums and into the national spotlight.


And I and the other pundits and many fans have been wrong before.

He has earned a good contract with any NFL team when he becomes a free agent at the end of this season and many teams would be happy to have him. I wonder if he'll accept a contract elsewhere or whether he will be content to stay in San Francisco as the backup to the emerging Kaepernick?

So now you know how Harbaugh turned Alex Smith's career around. Stay tuned for the rest of the season. This story is not over yet."

Just in case some might have forgotten with time..

Ok, you mentioned Alex's situation in your initial post. We're all familiar with the good season and a half jim had Alex playing decent. You didn't have to copy and paste a whole article from 6 years ago. You alluded to other QB's. What's the situations with all those guys? Original thoughts will do, please.

Im with you there guy. going on 6 years later . EVEN if they would have been stoped on all 4 downs. I would have been at peace.If They gave the ball to Gore on all those 4 downs.

Note:

My first choice was Shanny when the race was on with McDaniels but I still will never hate someone that brought so much joy to my team when we sucked ass for a decade..

It's asinine and the facts won't change. Until Shanny takes this team to a Super Bowl and wins it.

With Baalke as gm and his draft record, I'm surprised Harbaugh took us that far. It was a miracle.

The facts still ramain.

I'm not a new fan, this isn't another team, and i don't celebrate, or even appreciate, NFC banners. If im talking about an NFC banner it means we lost. Thats unacceptable for this franchise and this fanbase.

Maybe its not me or others that have a bad case of amnesia....

The next time this franchise goes, which will be soon because we are a great franchise, i expect the number we will all be talking about is 6-1.

I also forgot, f**k the Harbagh family, f**k ray lewis, and f**k who ever the f**k that guy was that raped crabtree, as well as the refs for the no call, and kap for the horrible pass. f**k that entire era.

The future is here, and its damn bright.

The facts still remain, no matter how much emotions you have. Or hatred..

Shanny hasn't accomplished s**t or even a quarter of what Harbaugh has done.

It's not even a conversation and the thread is Shanny or Harbaugh

Not f**k everyone... That's not addressing anything... So let's stick with the topic and remove emotions from the conversation..

It seems Harbaugh's hatred is blinding some..

Only thing i have ever seen harbaugh accomplish is lose every game that mattered, and lose all respect and dignity from those that got him to those games in the process.

Yet you have a gm that did absolutely nothing to help him...

Amazing, how the person who has done the most damage gets a hall pass and the person that has done the most for us in the last what over a decade now?

Who the f**k has done more for us than Harbaugh since 94?!?!?!?


What coach could have done what Harbaugh has done working with someone that wasted 7 years of drafts???


Who is baalke around here Zues??? It sounds too personal with Harbaugh.. Strange

I'm a niner fan but its f**king weird Harbaugh's hatred..

I'm sorry but the sky is blue..

Ownership isn't changing. Nothing you, i, or anyone else will do about that. The 49ers and the stadium makes the yorks money hand over fist. Baalke is hated just as much as harbaugh, if not vastly more so. People want to forget that era because it is a s**t stain on what was a flawless franchise. We are close to reclaiming our throne. Soon.

Lets not pretend Harbaugh hasn't pretty much burned down every front office he has been apart of prior to leaving. Its well known people can only handle Harbaugh for a very short period, even if winning. He is a f**king a*****e and acts like a gorilla on the sidelines. Pop Warner football coaches who have their sons playing 3 ways have more composure. Its embarrassing frankly.

He wins.. Thats allI cared for. 44-19-1... While having a bum for a gm.

That's like playing football with one arm behind your back and about 8 steak knives from Baalke and dumsula.. A coach should be worried about coaching not who is reaching for the throne.. While the gm is wasting drafts and more worried about power.

Accountability...

Thats it..

No one has done more for us than Harbaugh since 94..

Respect that man

So i guess you just watch Super Bowls then?

Every other game that it took to get there is meaningless??

Life doesn't work that way, neither does football.. There's no magic switch that teleports us to the Super Bowl.

Every game counts in the nfl. It's part of the game. What would be the point of a season or playoffs?
