Im not going blame smith on everything and rotating qbs is the dumbest thing you could do. The teams not there yet but we are close

Can you find an example of QB rotation that has ever worked in the NFL?

Start Nate Davis

I got crucified for saying that after the Texans game of course, but it’s the correct call.

Draft a young guy, Bring in an experienced QB for him to learn behind for a year and you’re good.

The 49ers could have run the ball against the Titans, but chose not too. They decided to pass all game long and they lost.

There is really no leader on the team. You would hope after this latest loss that there will be someone to start stepping up and start speaking up. Maybe Vernon Davis can shot it, maybe even Alex Smith! But at this point in time the 49ers will be stuck in mediocrity.

i cant find the name Nate Davis on it anywhere.

Of Smith’s interceptions were off the hands of receivers or on tipped passes, one was completely telegraphed and his fumbles were just plain sloppy. He needs to do a better job holding onto the ball when facing pressure, he just holds the ball out there and doesn’t anticipate the pressure coming, A lot of NFL QB’s are like this but that is in no way an excuse.

24 points of turnovers, that is what lost us the game. It was also plain stupid to allow Johnson to score on the outside after having a TD overturned earlier, he was stopped and they must do a better job stringing it out and making the play

          But back to Smith, he didn’t play good today, but he wasn’t horrible either. The sideline INT was just plain luck and the tipped pass was great timing by the Titan defender, Smith got the ball there and threw it accurate he was just late in the read. That also happened all too often today, Smith has to have more confidence in his first read because it is apparent he has the arm to get it there. In no way am i ready to give up on Alex Smith but he needs to do a better job protecting the ball, but the receivers need to do a better job running the routes and holding off the defender, especially when the ball is on target.

              The 49ers have four days left in their season, they have to beat Chicago on Thursday night if not the season is all but over. As of now we are two games back with one head to head match against Arizona. A win against Chicago and the season continues a loss and it is all but over. No way do the 49ers start Nate Davis this season until it is proven that they are out of the playoff race and at this point even at 3-5 the 49ers are in the thick and Arizona’s only competition for the division. Let the next game or two play out and see where we are. If we are 5-5 following Green Bay then of course the playoffs are a possibility, but a loss one of these next two games and the season is done in which case Nate Davis may see action.

We needed to open up the offense it really wasn’t an option at this point. You cannot continue to run it up the middle on 1st and 2nd downs and then set up the offense with 3rd and 6+ when their efficiency on 3rd down is so low. It was bad route running, bad timing, Smith not delivering the ball on time, inability to stop the pass rush and tip passes that ruined it for the 49ers. 2 of Smith’s 3 picks were on tipped passes and his two fumbles were on blocking breakdowns. It’s not excusing the turnovers because Smith needs to recognize the pressure and hold onto the ball, he also needs to get in sync with his receivers especially on timing routes. Crabtree was a non factor today with 3 receptions yet Smith continued to go towards him 8 times. Though the percentages of completions in Crabtree’s direction was low it shows a confidence in the rookie receiver and that is a positive.

                     It’’s small things that Smith needs to do in order to minimize the mistakes, and they can be fixed. Having confidence in his 1st read and delivering the ball quicker is a fixable problem as is recognizing the pressure and maintaining control of the ball. But the bad news is that we play Thursday and it’s not a problem that can be fixed that short term. It isn’t asking too much of him to deliver the ball in a spread formation but it may be asking too much of the makeship offensive line to ask to protect him. Sims played well today as did Heitman, but the other 3 linemen continued to struggle. They must have a run/pass option when doing the spread/shotgun formation and until they can formate a game plan to do that it is going to struggle

How many picks has Alex Smith thrown in the fourth quarter of the last three games?? The answer is 4, when the game is on the line, Smith chokes like a dog with a bone stuck in his throat..

We have seen this crap over and over again..His last six starts he is 0-6, no coincidence there..

Hill isn’t the answer either, or even better than Smith..Lay this at the door of the front office which has zero clue what the hell they are doing..To go into a season with these two as QB’s and talk about the playoffs is pure folly..

Neither one of these guys will ever take us anywhere..

NEEDS to start the rest of the year. There is no way Hill can lead us to the playoffs. As BAD as smith was today, he gives us the best chance to win. Do you know how many 4 and outs we would have had today if Hill had been in? The possession in the 3rd qrtr-4th qrtr was 8+ minutes. No way Hill does that. We lost because we didn’t get a TD on that possession, to be honest with you. I think TENN gained momentum after just giving up a FG.

Oh well.

We pass on first down more than usual, and we don’t run enough. But our Oline is predictable, it can’t block long enough to get downfield routes when we have 4 receiving options. THe Titans just went to a bubble zone 7-10 yards off of the line of scrimmage, simply because by the time our WR’s get open someone will be on Smith’s back as long as you pressure wide against our RT. It just isn’t difficult playing our offense.

I can’t wait for all of the weekly “Alex Smith Sucks” or “I told you guys Alex Smith was good!” FanPosts that people will put up when he does moderately poorly or well, respectively.

Really, he played okay. Not great. Not bad. He actually did lead that drive at the end of the game that put us in a position to try the onside kick. Two of the interceptions should have fallen to the ground. His accuracy was a mixed bag.

So, he was okay with a little bad luck to boot.

It doesn’t matter how much you want to panic, he’s basically got the job until the end of the season. Matt Maiocco pretty much said in a radio interview last week that Smith would have to be historically bad for the team to go back to Hill right now.

So suck it up. If he’s not any better than this at the end of the year, I’ll be right there with you. For his second start in over two years, I thought he looked fine.

The only thing we should really be coming to grips with right now is that for the third year in a row we as fans thought the playoffs were a legitimate goal. Maybe we should actually just try to get to .500 first.

Off topic but i just wanted to add this.

We actually have a chance to control our own destiny. If Philadelphia had beaten Dallas we wouldn’t, considering we don’t play the Cowboys.

Why do you suck?
Why do you have zero guts?
Why are you inconsistent in your play calls?
Why if something is working, do you go away from it?
Why…oh why did you even get back in to coaching? Shouldn’t you be playing golf somehwere? Or going to the Cracker Barrell for chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes?
….Okay maybe it was 6 or 7 questions but I am fed up with the crap. I don’t care what anyone esle coming to Jimmy Raye’s defense says cause its all gonna be a bunch of hogwash anyhow and I won’t listen.

Alex Smith should start the rest of the season. At this point it would take a miracle for us to make the playoffs anyway…So why not? Get him more experience and more reps. If he blows, it’ll tell us what we need in the 2010 draft

proved again that he lacks the natural instincts to play QB. Yes he has all the physical tools but he still makes VERY SLOW decisions. His passes are as late as they have ever been and he is just too timid. Stick with him and we will always be mediocre.

We have three very good young wide receivers in Crabtree, Jones and Hill, and one who thinks he is better than he is in Morgan.

We have a kid sitting on the bench with a rocket arm, great poise and confidence, and who will lead this team next season. PLAY HIM. It’s Nate Davis time.

maybe just his teams have

I was kind of excited when Smith redid his contract. I thought that he just might be the right guy for the 9ers, stupid me! I am in total agreement with you about Nate Davis, give the kid a chance. If he goes out and looses a couple of games and it destroys his confidence, then he aint the guy we need. Look at Rothlisburger, he didn’t have instant success but he’s kinda OK now. The way I see it, if the team stays the way they are there are maybe 2 more winable games, 3 at the most, the Lions, Rams and possibly the Seahawks. This team needs a QB. This team also needs Bob McKittrick, maybe Sing could try and channel him somehow. Now I’m starting to rant a little so I better stop while I still have a taste of sanity.
Be kind to me please, this is the first time I have ever posted anything about anything and it is also my 54th birthday. Thank you for the vent

Alex Smith and Shaun hill are losers and we are never going to be a great team until we solidify this quarterback posistion.

(AKA or until we draft tim tebow in the draft next year) lol

all the succes we had in the 80’s/90’s we had great QB’s in steve young and joe montana

if you put together 1+1 we havnt been all that great without a Good QB behind the helm.

Montana struggled his first year and a half as a starter. Alex has not even played one full year. All QB’s throw pics. There line is indicative of that. Let’s get down to the fumdimentals and quit posting nonsense.

combine Smith and Hill. It would make a decent QB. In my opinion they each have what the other doesn’t, in terms of skills and abilities.

skills will not make up for that. I look at franchise QB’s in the NFL and they have two things that make them good or great. Intellect and Skills. Typically if one of those two very important elements are missing, it’s a loss.

On 49ers.com (the Niners official website), Michael Robinson does what’s called “The Robinson Report” where he interviews certain players and sometimes coaches. If you go to the website to watch, you will be astonished at just how stupid Nate Davis truly is. The most recent interview involved Coach Singletary and and players knowledge of the coach. Very few of them surprisingly knew that much about their head coach and his career. But when Nate Davis was approached by Robinson. Robinson asked Davis these two questions and the responses went like this:

Robinson: “How many years did Coach play in the NFL”
Davis: “Uhhh 6 years…”
Robinson paused at the thought of the ridiculous guess by Davis but forged on to the next question anyhow.

Robinson: “How many ProBowls did Coach Sing go to?”
Davis “Uhhh….10 years”
The look on Robinsons face upon this response spoke words that hhe didn’t physically have to say…. “What a retard” is what I read on Robinsons face…I’ll let you be the judge.
http://www.49ers.com/media-gallery/videos/Robinson-Report-Know-Your-Coach/08ee4d8a-3ba0-4136-937d-93e5274b5c73

I happen to agree with Robinson’s look. Nate Davis’ skills don’t mean anything if he cannot count. There’s a certain amount of intellect aa QB needs to have and Davis does not have it. So get over all this “Nate the Great” garbage….cause thats what it is….garbage.

SINGLETARY WAS HIRED BECASUE OF SHAUN HILL !!!!

 Alex Smith and JT O Sullivan were taking our team into the trash, then Mike Singletary knew Shaun Hill made great decisions and could be a winner, so he started him. He was right, Shaun Hill started winning every almost every game and broke the all time completion record for any starting quartback in the history of the game. Then Singletary says that running is going to be our ingenious strategy. So they made the game plan around running the ball, and put Shaun Hill up on the Center to take the snap, instead of putting him in the Shotgun, like the all time accurate pass leader ( Dan Marino ). He wsa pressured to much because our Offensive Line is completely horrible. The Offensive Line is very important in a Quarterbacks success. Shaun Hill makes great decisions and is very accurate if he has time to make a play, Alex Smith makes way to many bad decisions and is very in accurate when he throws the ball…. BRING BACK SHAUN HILL !!!!

A – He isn’t. As of the 2008 season, the all time leaders in pass completion percentage are:

1) Chad Pennington – 65.6%
2) Kurt Warner – 65.1%
3) Steve Young – 64.3%
4) Peyton Manning – 64.2%
5) Carson Palmer – 64.1%

The poster is obviously the same poster who called himself KORY SHEETS…

Facts don’t seem to matter.

Shaun HIll breaks the all-time completion record?

THAT IS FUNNY
