Him having a bad game wasn't my issue, everyone is going to have a bad game here and there, but him being gunshy REALLY disapponted me. He's so programmed now into not fukking up, that he's afraid to take chances if the play isn't designed to big a big play type pass by design.

Yeah. to me that play meant all of nothing though.

The game was so far gone and the whole offense was in such a malaise that it was just a piece of the moment with that play.

That was an overwhelming L and you can tell he got caught up in it, I just hope he doesn't hang his head over this shyt.

BTW, Alex is #7 in QB ranking, so I like the fiasco of being a top 10 rated passer.

I still think Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers are the same person or Smith is Rodger's bizzaro

You can throw that #7 ranking in the bushes come playoff time or against good defenses.

You might be right, I think it's getting clear the 49ers struggle against teams with a good offense and a good defense.

We can beat teams with awesome offenses (GB, New Orleans) and we can beat team with good defenses, but if we play a team like the Giants or Ravens who can do both we struggle big time.

I don't think that's the end of our story, but I do think it's something we need to come to realize and work towards fixing.

no lie, that's my main concern as a niner fan.

the NFC west defenses are serious and we got 6 games against the cards, hawks, and rams. plus we got the bears on MNF later this season.

that #7 ranking is VERY deceiving. it comes courtesy of terrible defenses in the packers, lions, and bills.

Well he was in the top 10 last year too, so it really isn't that deceiving.

I do think them division games are gonna be a lot harder now that everyone is shaping up, but I think AZ is in for a big landslide, they lose their last two and they got Minny this weekend.

I said before the season I can see 2 losses in division, I had us at 10-6.

:yeshrug: fair point. the thing is that you can't put all your stock in QB rating. top 10 QB rating does not equal a top 10 QB.

even last year alex didn't play great against teams with good defenses. he just didn't turn the ball over, but this year he is.

he's gotta play much better for us to have a shot in the playoffs.

I think we can still win with Alex Smith, if the Greg Roman didn't try to get so cute, we would've had a better chance. We were moving the ball decently at first we just didn't score. We were only a couple of dropped fumbles from a Super Bowl.

We knew when drafting Kaep that he was a project, but dudes upside is insane. Physically, he is there, he just has to clean up this throwing motion and learn the 49er offense which is complicated, if he does that he's a Franchise QB.

I really don't know why people are getting so reactionary, we're 4-2 in a sea of 4-2 teams. Now if we drop one to the Seahawks then I'd be a bit concerned, but also keep in mind we have arguably the toughest schedule in the league, and we can still go 10-6, if we can run 4 out of 6 division games assuming we lose to the Pats and the Bears.

As long as you don't feel they'd win one because of him.

At the end of the day, most teams want to win because of their QB play. So I don't see the problem with drafting Kaepernick

Agreed 100%, he needs to take steps forward, starting this Thursday.

I think he was on a good track until NYG came through.

I`m also big on keeping him actually in the game and cutting this Kaep every 5 plays shyt out. If they want Kaep in that bad, then just start the kid. But don't do the 2 QB shuffle.

Glad to know you feel that way.

I think everyone says the same shyt about a QB until they actually win the thing.

You can replace Smith name with Flacco, Ryan, Romo, Vick and a host of other QB's and we`ve all heard that statement countless times.

Drafting Kaepernick made perfect sense, the 49ers didn't have any faith in Smith and Harbaugh wanted to keep him around because of familiarity.

But Kaep is the guy Harbaugh & Baalke chose.

I don't think any 49ers fans feel like Alex Smith would be the reason we won the big one ever we are blessed by God to ever even make that statement.

But we're really discussing fantasy shyt right now which isn't even worth the time. Because if we got there and he threw 4 td's how could you say they didn't win it because of him? It's all speculative nonsense.

I think we got a lot of shyt to fix before we even think about the playoffs
