Alex Smith


   All i am going to say is wow, and begin by giving Alex smith his well earned props. I dont live in san francisco and i hardly get to watch the niners play live on TV. Last thursday i was excited to watch crabtree play his first game and so i decided to check the tv guide and to my surprise it was there 49ers Vs. Texans. I say this because Fox couldn't have picked a better game to broadcast in my area. Who in their right mind would have thought that after a horrible first have the outcome would have been anywhere close to the one we saw. For a second i thought i was in the "Twilight Zone" Alex smith starting, nevertheless putting up points on the board and leading a team with complete poise and confidence. Weather or not it was a fluke and or a vanilla defense i dont CARE im tired of everybody downing on Alex and calling him a bust. No other Qb in the league has had to go through everything he went through and all the injuries which were the O lines fault in the first place, and unlike most of niner fans i have never given up on him and until hes no longer a 49er i never will. Bottom line he is better than shaun hill and i knew the so called "Qb Battle" this preseason was a fluke. No one ever saw any one quaterback be better than the other and based on the preseason the only good Qb was davis who definitely isnt ready. We all knew all along that alex had all the right Qb mechanics to be a good or better than average Qb in this league and yet we let a coach (Nolan) who did nothing but draft a couple of good players tell us that alex wasn't ready and totally threw him under the bus. Its no wonder that he did good in his first snaps with singletary behind the controls, and alot of you are forgetting Raye was the offensive coordinator in the game!! If any quaterback can make Jimmy Raye look like Josh Mcdaniels then he must have some good skills i would say. I dont care whos behind me or not in this one but to me i felt like we gave up way to quick on Alex especially after what he went through. I mean come on we all know shaun hill wasnt gonna take us to the playoffs maybe a winning record but not the playoffs. I have hope that alex will improve and he will be the starting Qb for the rest of the season and maybe even the future. My future prediction on alex smith is that he will be the starter the rest of the season and these will be his stats approximately.

1,985 yards passing  284yards rushing

18 Tds  9 Ints and most important 6 games won.(I was guessing 5 but i want to make the playoffs so i made it 6)

It may be a little early for predictions but i myself think alex is no fluke and i always thought that the injuries and coaches and the players he played with weren't much to talk about. Now that he has the right offensive weapons(Crabtree, Davis, Morgan, Gore ) and has once again won the starting job it maybe his last time to save his career in the bay area.To everyone who ever doubted Smith after this there really wont be any excuses for any niner fans well except for the O Line ( Cant have the cake and eat it 2..Lol.) Its do or die time now and halfway to what maybe his last season in niner uniform i think he will come thru and win comeback player of the year. (I Believe In Miracles)

Its never to late to dream!!

Thank you

I’ve always been a Smith fan, and think that he got a bad rap. I’ve had so many arguments with my girlfriend about how unfair his whole situation has been, and that if given another chance, would succeed. It’s Smith time. He’s matured, he’s healthy, and this is a much better team than when he last led it. Let’s go.

Hill does not have enough arm power

More than half of the passes Smith completed Hill could not. Because Hill does not have an arm. No defense is going to respect a QB without an arm. Smith being in there will keep the D honest which will open up the run for Frank Gore.
