Got you on a string don't I.Good to see you've made up you mind. You'll be changing it later, but I'll give you this one for now.Get back on. Kaep just threw a TD.Good to see you off the Bandwagon here.You changed it from over, to over?Of course, it's your thread. To Trainspot in.
I'm sure you're underestimating everybody who reads this board. But your post here is pretty LHUCKS in itself, and I trust the good, knowledgeable Shark Pool members here to make their own judgments on what they can read, not what you think they should.That's one way of looking at it. Really just giving the response your typical post deserves. Don't want any newcomers to these boards mistaking you as someone worth paying any attention. But I appreciate you stepping up your recent game. With LHUCKS banned you've got some big shoes you're well on your way to filling. Keep up the work, fella.
Answer: Never.
He hasn't. Not since Jeff Garcia has a 49er QB thrown 4tds in a game. Until tonight.
Busy comparing and compiling gripes with butcher boy.
Controversy over.
It is, but give a few credit for still trying to keep that going. They'll be here tomorrow pining for a QB who has never made a Pro-Bowl his entire career in SF.
I doubt Smith is still in SF next season. They can trade or release him before the deadline and save the cash. But stay as a backup to Kaep when he thinks he should be a starter for an NFL team? He needs to go somewhere else and start.
He'll be cut. If he's dumped before April 1st it's mostly harmless to the cap.ETA - some details on the contract. http://www.csnbayarea.com/blog/matt-maiocco/full-details-alex-smiths-contract
Four fumbles?It seems like there is an issue to address, though.
wintry mix
Kaep in the post game presser took fault with that. His first road game at Foxboro in those conditions helped lead to it, but I doubt it's a chronic issue that can't be fixed.
Seattle has butt ugly uniforms, but beyond that I expect to see Kappy go back to his normal efficient game. Low ceiling and high floor. He's my starter for sure in the championships, no waffling this time.
If he'll accept the role, Alex Smith would be e great back-up QB for someone. Ideally, he'd go to a traditional run-first team like the Steelers, Bears, or Ravens. I bet Tomlin would rather have Alex Smith behind Big Ben than Leftwich.
i love fans like you: you're just nuts.
Of course I can say this now, but I'd say Kaep gets a pass on those fumbles (1 of which was Goodwin's fault, IMO) considering this was really his first NFL start dealing with those kinds of weather conditions. Was Kaep wearing the glove on his non-throwing hand the whole game? I coulda swore he was glove-less until at least halftime.By the way, are you the same "butcher boy" that called into KNBR this morning?
I guess his 3 pass TD, 1 rush TD vs. NO in the playoffs last year doesn't count.Maybe if Smith wasn't so efficient against Arizona going 18 for 19, 3 TDs, he could have got another TD. You know, that team that just beat Stafford and Megatron 38-10 at home?Or damn, if the defense hadn't kept the lead up 31-3 vs Buffalo earlier this year, Smith could have got credited for a fourth TD on a 5 yd pass to Crabtree that went for 30 & a TD. The important thing is he threw for 4 TDs, not 3. I'm not concerned he had 4 fumbles or an INT. Turnovers mean nothing especially when the playoffs start.
No, and you're like the 5th person here to ask me this. It pisses me off that he stole my name which is a derivative of the name of my fantasy team I've used for 19 years.
It's Kaep's 5th start, on the road, in December, vs. Tom Brady/BB, etc. Tom Brady turned the ball over as well. But, since you mentioned Buffalo....

If you read any of my pre-season posts, I wasn't sure about Kaep ever seeing the field starting. When GordonGekko posted that Harbaugh would make this switch even with Smith not suffering injury, I thought he was nuts. I'm just as surprised as anybody that he could start and look this good off the bat. I used to get on ImTheScientist for his gloating of Russell Wilson, but I now get his enthusiasm for the shot in the arm a new QB brings. Wilson vs. Kaep is gonna be epic this weekend. How can anybody not be excited?
he'd be fine *starting* for another franchise; never mind backing up someone. i think a lot of teams would be pretty happy to have a QB who over his last 17 games threw 30 TDs.
To the bold: Wat?ETA: 2011-2012, Alex has 25 regular season starts with 30tds (Plus 2 playoff games with 5 total passing TDs).
Well, if he is going to a team that has a whole lot of issues like O-line, no real running game, or a poor defense, while having to learn another new offense, etc. I don't see Smith as a QB a franchise can build around. The 49ers tried that for years. Most of the talent you see on the field with the exception of a few FA's (such as Moss and Manningham etc.) were drafted and signed by Nolan and Scot McCloughan (with Singletary barking at Baalke for drafting more O-line his second year as HC). Gore, VD, Willis, Justin Smith, they all came before Harbaugh, and those are the 49er Pro-Bowl players (Pro-Bowl punter Andy Lee and Issac Sopoaga are Dennis Erickson's only players left on the 49ers, maybe Brian Jennings too). The FA market was cold on Smith last season, but of course it should be a lot warmer now with the need for QB's for a lot of teams. Even if you had a scenario of he going across the Bay to the Raiders, who knows if he could play better than Carson Palmer can? Can he fix AZ's problems immediately? Smith is a system QB who managed Harbaugh's system to a point where he maxed out in that system. Maybe in a traditional WCO he can have success, but can he go to TB and play better than Josh Freeman? Can he go to BUF and make them a playoff team?
what? I thought I supposed to be the crazy guy to be pretty happy with an Alex Smith?
Smith was 17-5 last regular season, with 5 games without a TD pass. He also had 6 games that season where he only threw one TD pass. He had one game where he threw 3 against TB, and the 4 games he threw for 2 TDs were against DAL, PHI, AZ, and STL. This regular season, he had 2 games without a TD pass, and 3 games with only 1. The 2 games where he threw 3 TD passes were against AZ and BUF, the other 2 games where he threw 2 were against GB and DET.
