Why can't 49ers fans realize Alex Smith sucks

rum151man · Oct 15, 2012

They have a great defense, great running game good receivers & TE and Alex Smith is the weak link. All the 49ers fans I know swear he's not holding them back. If you ask me he's a please manage the game & don't lose it for us type of QB. & in this offensive powerhouse nfl league that hasn't worked since Baltimore with Trent Dilfer & I don't see it happening again any time soon. It's a QB driven league now with high powered & high scoring offenses.

He's better than you give him credit for, but yeah, that extension wasn't a very good idea.

And although I really like Kaepernick's upside, I don't think throwing him in halfway thru the Season is a good idea either. I"m still not real sure why they didn't bring in a Veteran, 3rd QB kinda guy, like Orton or Quinn...

Big Blue !! I agree, not sure why they signed him to an extension. Did Harbaugh think he could fix him?

rum151man · Oct 15, 2012

I honestly would take any other starting QB in the league besides Arizona, KC, & maybe Cle

I like Kaepernick too

people paying alot of money for his exquisite and authentic RC's are not going to be happy in 2 years

because they know it takes more than 1 player to lose a game. It takes a whole team.

Says the Raiders fan. :lol:

If you are a good QB, your backup would never see the field of play.
I didn't realize how bad he was until I had to use him for my fantasy league, Brees was on the bye week, and I actually had to watch him play.
Not good.

The same reason people think Tebow is better than Sanchez. Because theyre stupid.

gt2590 · Oct 19, 2012

Man, was he putrid last nite...

And can someone remind the Niners' that they have one of, if not THE, best TE in football on their Roster?

It's midnight for Alex Smith. I am sure Harbaugh is having dreams of Peyton some nights.

gt2590 · Oct 30, 2012

It's pretty funny that Smith had an historically great game vs. Arizona and I still wouldn't have much faith in him...

And if you haven't seen Harbaugh's response to Smith's critics, it's Thanksgiving-themed. :lol:

Alex Smith may have just lost his job, kaepernick looked pretty damn good in his first ever start against one of the best defenses in the league

DRav87 · Nov 20, 2012

While it is very possible, I doubt Harbaugh would go with anyone but Smith as long as he is healthy.

especially this year. I think next year Kaep has a very good chance of winning the starting job. I think the Bears were just utterly unprepared for Kaep and hadn't had enough film on him to properly play defense against him, and the defense and running game were both going well.

I think Kaep should get the job next year and just be used in certain situations the rest of this year. Lisu it wasn't just Kaep they weren't prepared for. They weren't prepared for a game at all. They got out coached, out hustled, and just flat out outplayed

a thing to worry about if Smith gets his job back, is him trying to do too much to try and keep his job.

Or if he takes another hit that causes a concussion, he'll try and keep playing...

Alex Smith running tally: Stats after Eagles game in 2010 (Monday Night "We Want Carr" game). 34 Games, 910 Att, 583 Comp, 6710 Yards, 46 Tds, 13 INTs, 97.09 QB Rating. He currently has a 104.1 rating on the season, 3rd best in the NFL behind only Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers. He's completing 70.0% of his passes. He has twice as many TDs in his last 2 games as incompletions. Can we give the guy a break?
