Game one of the Jim Harbaugh era was a resounding success for the nascent head coach and the revamped coaching staff. I was especially surprised at the defense’s consistent pressure from a fairly basic set. The Niners didn’t blitz much, and therefore had good downfield coverage for the most part. The DBs were solid most of the time as well, and Rogers had a nice breakup in the end zone. Seattle, though, started going downfield more in the 2nd half, and they moved the ball much better in the 2nd half rather than the 1st. To the tune of outscoring the Niners 17-3 on offense. Fangio has spent enough time in the NFL to know his way around a defense, and he had to be happy with the results. Seattle has a very young line, and the Niners had their way with them.
The offense on the other hand was restrained to say the least. Seattle was intent on not letting Gore beat them, and they held him in check all day, minus a couple good runs. The passing game was dinks and dunks most of the time, and the red zone offense was bland to say the least. No mistakes by Young Sir Alex, but one TD in five trips to the red zone isn’t the way to dominate opponents. The one thing Smith has shown in his career is his taking care of the ball in the red zone. To the tune of 30 TDs to one pick.
The return game? Well what can you say? Ginn scored 2 times and iced the game for the 49ers. The Niners gave up a punt return for a TD, but it was called back due to an illegal block in the back. One that actually sprung the return, so there you go. You take your chance and hope it doesn’t get called. The Ginn TD on the kickoff return was critical to the game as the Seahawks had cut the lead to 19-17, and the Niner offense had mustered only one decent 2nd half drive (for yet another FG). A bit galling was the 6 shots the offense had inside the 10 (due to a roughing the kicker call on a made FG) to score a TD, yet couldn’t. This team has too many weapons to not try things a little bit more risky than Gore left, Gore right, Gore up the middle. I understand getting the lead to two scores, but Seattle ended up getting a TD in about 45 seconds.
All in all a solid effort. Going forward, they need to get this offense up to a higher speed. Sure, they played it safe due to their opponent, but Dallas, while not a top-tier team, is better than Seattle in many different ways. This will be a truer test as to how far this team has progressed in this compressed timeframe. As The J-E-T-S showed, Dallas can be thrown on. VD should get some heavy action, as well as Braylon Edwards. So, bombs away . . .
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
As I said it would, Chuckles, it’s getting right back to as it was. From Spitfuck:
“I want to see seven step drops. Know why? They get your qb killed. Maybe we can borrow Mike Martz for a month.”
Dallas has a young offensive line just like Seattle. I can’t think of many members of the Jets’ front seven. I think they got Cullen Jenkins from the Pack and I know they have Michigan’s David Harris as an ILB, but I don’t know many other players on their front seven, so to me, that means their front seven isn’t very good. Don’t they have an often injured linebacker from the Cardinals also? Anyway, point being the stars of the Jets’ D are in the secondary and it’s possible we have a better front seven than the Jets. I’ve love nothing more than for Bowman and Aldon to make a romo sandwich and end his career. And talk about your simultaneous victories – it would also destroy Del’s fantasy team.
Just ignore Twinfan. He’ll go away.
I think you’ll be gone long before I am, punk. You still want that address? I hope, for your sake, you are extremely adept at driving in reverse at high speeds.
Twin, you’re what, 64? You seriously are starting another internet tough guy dick-measuring contest with a guy less than half your age? Dude. I expect Spit to be immature. You have far less excuse.
The fact that “Someone is WRONG on the internet!” does not mean you need to go Clint Eastwood. *rme is always the appropriate response.
Stay the fuck out of it. The motherfucker threatened me. And all of you acted like a bunch of jackals. I’ve posted entirely reasonably and gotten a boatload of shit simply because it’s a minority opinion here.
Boys, boys. And what does your post suggest, Mike?
Read the 11:51 post, Mike. It has to do with football. Let’s try to keep it that way.
Alex Smith is the worst quarterback in San Francisco 49ers history. Easily. Go find me another qb who has been lucky enough to find a front office this jacked up that allows him to continue to showcase his anemic wears for this long. Find me another qb with this many loses, and this many turnovers. Alex Smith is the worst quarterback in San Francisco 49er history. By far. It’s not even close.
In his seventh season, he passed for 124 yards, threw no touchdowns, went 0-9 on his first 9 3rd down attempts, and only got the offense to score 3 points in the second half after Pete Carroll made his adjustments.
The Alex Smith legacy? “Worst Quarterback in 49er History.”
That should read ” In the debut of his seventh season…..”
This prick wanted my address because I posted something positive about Smith. I’m simply saying if he did come to my home, he’d want to leave. Fast. Don’t fucking accuse me of shit, Chuckles. Demanding my address was a fucking threat, pal. And you tolerate this cocksucker and call ME out. Don’t do that.
I think we should get some stats on Alex Smith. I think we should compare Alex to the really, really futile Niner qbs of old. I’m no Niner historian, but I’ll collect the Alex Smith data and we should find qbs with a tenure this long and compare the numbers.
You can have terrible qbs, but they don’t last long. Alex Smith is an anomaly because of his length of tenure. We need stats on older terrible qbs who’ve lasted this long. I want to make the case for WORST QUARTERBACK IN 49er HISTORY!
Here are the Alex Smith stats:
He’s played in 55 games. He’s completed 57% of his check downs (I mean passes). He’s thrown more interceptions in his career than TDs (shocking) 53 INTS to 51 TDs. And his lifetime qb rating is 72.4%. I’m looking up his wins verse his losses.
Now I don’t know the really bad qbs in Niner history who’ve gotten to start 55 games because of a front office vacuum, but I’ll do the research to support my claim ALEX SMITH IS THE WORST QB IN NINER HISTORY, but how about pointing me in the direction of some other long term qb stinkers? Grump? Unca? Any suggestions?
Are you really going to put up with this piece of shit, Chuckles? He’s back to wishing a fatal injury to the QB, he’s previously threratened to kill him, he’s threatened other posters… If you want to abide by this bullshit, fine, but he will wreck this blog just as he did the last one. I’m perfectly willing to engage in reasonable discussion but I’m more than capable of going head to head with the bullshit, as well. Again, he’s one who is pissed because his private Hating Zone has been violated, and his Hate Zone is your website.
Read MY 11:48, that’s keeping it to football? And now the intentionally inflammatory posts on Smith? Bullfuckingshit.
Stay tuned for my new article titled, “Alex Smith: Worst QB in 49er History!”
Try to keep it clean, Tyler.
I may subtitle the article: “Stats to drive a man insane.”
You’re already there, Tyler. Or perhaps it’s just Denny’s unfortunate affliction, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. If so, I apologize for any cruel words I may have spoken to you.
i think i want CHUCK’S address …
so i can go pick up his alex smith jersey !
or i can just send along mine so you can mail it here !
now all we need is for harbaugh to help him become the pretty good QB i thought he’d be !
That’s a bit of a drive from Florida for a uniform, don’t you think?
Spit,
Alex’s record through his first 50 starts is 19-31.
John Brodie’s record through 50 starts: 23-26-1.
Steve Young 24-26 (includes TB).
Y.A. Tittle 24-25-1. (Includes Balt.).
Jeff Garcia 26-24.
Joe Montana 29-21.
Some guys who had less than 50 starts:
Steve DeBerg 7-28.
Steve Spurrier 13-12-1.
Frankie Albert 13-16-1.
Jim Plunkett 11-15.
The guy he most closely resembles is Brodie, including the negative TD:INT ratio.
Of course, Brodie was better the rest of his career. Which is the kind of career trajectory Smith is now hoping for.
Oh… data source here: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/sfo/career-passing.htm
A great site for stats and historical data.
WOW…. look at these stats I’m collecting to drive a man insane….
My criteria, just so you know, for consideration of the title, “WORST QUARTERBACK IN 49ER HISTORY,” Is that you have to have been the starter for at least three years. This weeds out the Norm Sneads, Steve Spurriers, etc. Those with at least 3 years as the Niners’ starting qb going back all the way to 1946 are …..
Frankie Albert
YA Tittle
John Brodie
Steve Deberg (debatable if he got three years as starter, let alone seven. Just imagine 7 years of Deberg…. the horror, the horror).
Joe Montana
Steve Young
Jeff Garcia
Alex Smith
Wow. I’m sure Frankie Albert’s numbers aren’t relevant because of leather helmets and they hadn’t invented the forward pass yet. Actually, maybe that’s when Alex Smith would have shined as a qb, before the forward pass? My bad, he can’t run either.
So, let’s see…. The championship title fight for the coveted and prized title of “Worst QB in 49ers History is between Alex Smith, Steve Deberg and I’ll take a peak at Brodie and Tittle stats just to be fair. But I think it’s between Deberg and Smith.
DeBerg is clearly worse on record alone. (7-28)
As Harbaugh attempted to poiint out to you people, those are the *team* records. By your alternate reasoning, Alex Smith is clearly superior to Archie Manning,
Yeah, Grump, I’m gettin’ there, but you’ve gotta spend the time to frame the debate. You can’t just declare someone WORST QUARTERBACK IN 49ER HISTORY. You have to create the criteria for acceptance into the debate, then select the relevant categories. It’s a process to drive a man insane. You don’t drive someone completely fuckin’ bonkers overnight. You must be thorough in your work. You know this…..
Yeah, but Grump, that’s the heart of the issue. Deberg didn’t start all three years. Alex has started seven fuckin’ miserable years. The idea is if you have a stinker of a qb, it shouldn’t take anyone this long to realize it and move in another direction.
7-28 is only two years. Not enough starts to qualify for my competition. He does, however, receive honorable mention.
“Alex has started seven fuckin’ miserable years”
Three plus, liar.
What clearly shows a hate monger’s bias is that they point to Smith’s career QB rating, weighted down by the rookie and injury seasons, yet disregard his 90+ rating since Raye left ,a far more relevant number to TODAY.
The criteria for competition in the fight for WORST QUARTERBACK IN 49ER HISTORY is that you must have at least 48 starts, or three years under your belt.
Then we are going to compare wins and loses, TDs, INTs, and completion percentage.
What else is relevant? I’m throwing out qb rating because that’s only been around for a while, and total passing yards isn’t fair because some guys played longer than others. I’m not getting into comparing certain years of productivity. It’s everything, baby.
The contestants are…… drum role, please…….
Alex Smith
Jeff Garcia
Steve Young
Joe Montana
John Brodie
YA Tittle
These are you qbs who’ve been deemed by the brass good enough to start at qb without replacement for over three years.
The categories again, wins and loses, TDs, INTs and completion percentage. Clean and simple.
Your stupidest post ever, and there’s plenty of competition.
Spewing out multiple irrelevant posts just to annoy one poster is truly juvenile, Tyler. Compounding the ignorance here is the suggestion that Brodie was ever a bad QB. He was a good QB on some bad teams. That you people still don’t understand that the QB is not only the most important player but also the one most dependent on the others, is indicative of your lack of knowledge of the game.
Since Spit’s posts are clearly irrelevant, untruthful, intended to incite ,and ignorant, I think I’ll turn our attention to a serious issue, the aforementioned. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Part One of 24:
“Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is a brain disorder due to thiamine deficiency.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Wernicke’s encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome are different conditions that are both due to brain damage caused by a lack of vitamin B1 (thiamine).
A lack of vitamin B1 is common in people with alcoholism. It is also common in persons whose bodies do not absorb food properly (malabsorption), such as sometimes occurs after obesity surgery.
Korsakoff syndrome, or Korsakoff psychosis, tends to develop as Wernicke’s symptoms go away. Wernicke’s encephalopathy causes brain damage in lower parts of the brain called the thalamus and hypothalamus. Korsakoff psychosis results from damage to areas of the brain involved with memory.”
The important thing that we all must realize in this competition is that a true 49er qb has to start long enough to be considered a true Niner. Jim Plunkett only started two years, but he’s more associated with the Raiders. Deberg was terrible, but he was a journeyman who also started two years. Deberg was a Chief and a Buc. Those guys are stop gaps or transition qbs. To be in this competition, and consideration for worst qb in 49er history title, the forty niner front office has to have made a commitment to you for at least 3 years (I’m certainly not advocating seven years). If the winner was here for seven years, those are stats to drive a man insane.
Well, we’ll see, won’t we? My feelings about Smith have run the course from a kid in over his head to a guy thrown under the bus by Nolan, to a guy misamanaged by Singletary, to him being the great unknown.
In the end, no one truly knows what he brings. He’s shown ability, but he still makes boneheaded mistakes. He’s yet to put together a consistently solid bunch of games. Maybe Harbaugh can coax consistency out of him. Maybe not. For the fifth time in his career, he’s on his last shot.
The truth still holds that he’s had more lives than any 3 cats as the 49ers QB.
Are you saying fuck the numbers, Mike?
Actually, Brodie was a VERY erratic, up and down quarterback during much of his time here, from 1957 through 1964. If you ever read his book, Open Field, you get an appreciation of just how immature and unready Brodie really was for the NFL. He struggled with some injuries, but it was own emotional demons that did a lot of the damage. Also a complete lack of coaching.
Things only changed when tittle came back in 1965 as Brodie’s first ever QB coach. Still, it took a near fistfight between the two on the practice field before they cleared up their animosity, dating from their playing days, and got down to work.
That year, everything finally clicked for Brodie, who posted a QBR of 95. That was in an era when 30 TDs was an astounding total. From that point through 1969, Brodie was indeed a very good QB on some very poor teams. Until 1970, when the 49ers finally got themselves some defense, and went to the playoffs.
It’s Brodie’s example, of a guy who finally harnessed his talent after years of not really getting it – that gives me what hope I have that Alex Smith could, with Harbaugh coaching him, finally get the light to fully come on.
No, I clearly said that more recent numbers are more relevant than older ones. Motherfucking DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH.
Oh, and if anyone wants shits and giggles, here are the career numbers for evey one of the 37 guys who have started a game at QB for the 49ers.
Sorted by QBR (descending), with record as a starter following.

Unlike the rest of you, I both watched and knew Brodie. GG’s “review” of Brodie’s ghost written book, is subjective, not gospel.
Last time I saw Brodie was in a Palo Alto hotel room in the early 70’s. He and his agent were there to discuss Brodie teaming with my father and making a pitch for the MNF gig. My Dad was in Palo Alto for the East-West Shrine game, As usual for his West coast games, I worked in the booth with him. I think the old Mizlou network carried that game at the time. It would also turn out to be his last year with CBS, in large part because Brodie or his agent leaked the meeting to CBS…
Brodie strongly held that his introduction to Scientology transformed him as a person, and made a huge difference in his game. He also certainly benefited from having Tittle as a QB coach after getting very little instruction in QB mechanics through his first 8 years. If you have any anecdotes about Brodie you’d like to share, have at it.
If we can keep this the way Grumpy directed it ( Thank You) , I just may cancel the last 23 installments on Wet Brain…
Alex Smith 23-33 (win/loss) 51 (tds) 53 (ints) 57.3 (completion percentage)
Jeff Garcia 35-36 113 56 61.4%
Steve Young 91-33 221 86 65.8%
Joe Montana Greatest QB to ever play the game. Shouldn’t be in debate. I threw Young in there for perspective.
John Brodie 74-77 214 244 55%
YA Tittle 45-31 108 134 59%
Now to the analyzation of the data.
OK, Sir Spit, your data is overwhelming, Smith is the worst QB in NFL history, not just the Niners.
Winning Percentage
Smith 41%
Garcia 49%
Young 73%
Brodie 49%
Tittle 59%
Completion Percentage
Smith 57.3%
Garcia 61.4%
Young 65.8%
Brodie 55%
YA Tittle 55.9%
What’s your fucking point, Mike? You knew Brodie, so it validates your opinion of Alex Smith? Gimme a break.
I saw plenty of Brodie’s games. But he was playing fairly well by then. I didn’t see him in the early late 50s or early 60s. Big deal.
___
And, in addition, shout the fuck up Spitty. We get it. If you want to go all V in regards to Alex, go right ahead. Your posts will start disappearing.
I’m sick and fucking tired of this shit.
No, seeing Brodie play gives me some cred about BRODIE,. Chuckles. He was cited here as a bad QB. Get off my case.
40
70
81
82
Those are Smith’s non-injured QBR numbers that past 6 years. We’ll see where he goes with a hopefully more offensive-minded coach.
I musta missed Spit saying Brodie was bad. he has Montana, Young, and Tittle on the list, for God’s sake.
Yes, you missed it. Actually, I rhink Grumpy brought him up, But Brodie’s name is all over Spit’s little lists.And Smith doesn’t even qualify according to Spit’s absurd criteria:
“These are you qbs who’ve been deemed by the brass good enough to start at qb without replacement for over three years.” One year for Smith. Your show is cancelled, Spit. Move on.
TD to INT Ratio converted to percentage….. INTs divided by total of INTs and TDs
Smith 51%
Garcia 33%
Young 28%
Brodie 53%
Tittle 55%
Unca,
These are the guys that qualify. I threw Montana out. Tittle provides Brodie perspective (same era), while Young and Garcia provide Alex Smith perspective.
And 90+ last year after Raye. It doesn’t take a fucking math genius to see an upward trend. And even in “40” year he clearly “got” McCarthy’s offense late, winning the last two games with 98 and 68 QBRs, rather better than the 40 for the year. Then the merry go round began.
Gee, Spit, you think Young had a better coaching staff and players to work with?
If that’s all you got, then blow it out your ass.
“I’m sick and fucking tired of this shit.”
Amen to that.
Shit, Garcia even had TO and Mooch. That’s better than anything Smith has had. Up until now.
He’s the great white question mark. OK? Live with it. Both of you.
He’s at make-or-break yet again.
Don’t even fucking tell me to “live with it”. This fucking bullshit started with me saying he had a solid game Sunday. This is Tyler’s motherfucking gig. If I can’t post an opinion about Smith without starting a goddamn shit festival, that’s a crock.
Smith clearly is the biggest loser in the win / loss comparison.
YA Tittle is the biggest losers in the TD / INT comparison.
Brodie is the biggest loser in the completion percentage comparison.
Like Grump has been foreshadowing, the race is between Alex Smith and John Brodie. Brodie numbers compared to YA Tittle numbers are a good way to gain perspective. It was a different era and different standard. We declare Tittle good, and Brodie’s numbers are comparable to Tittle. In the end, Alex Smith has comparable numbers to qbs who didn’t play during today’s NFL qb era.
The winner of the Spitblood Worst QB in the History of the San Francisco 49ers competition is….
drum roll, please…….
ALEX SMITH!!!!!! Alex Smith: Worst Quarterback in the History of the San Francisco 49ers!
There it is, rejoice America.
On and on it goes. He’s worse than Yogi. By far.
Hey Spit, read Barley’s post at 2:32.
Read it. Know it. Live it.
You were reason 1a I killed the last blog. This time around, I’m only deleting you.
You do what you feel is necessary, Chuck. Alex Smith was just declared, “Worst QB in the History of the Niners.” So we got that out of the way. If you think Twinfan adds to your blog, and I don’t, that’s a decision you have to make for yourself.
Who knows who adds to the blog? Spit is just another “Flying V”, there is no rational discussion with him on board. I’ve “known” Chuck for years on line, we’ve fought many times, I’ve privately thanked him for his support during my many operations and procedures. So, while it may not always seem so, we are friends, or least I’ve thought so. I started posting here again when Spit and Denny considered this their private blog, THEY made this confrontational from the beginning- I’ve been stupid enough to respond in kind. Now it seems that Spit is making this a “him or me” deal, how stupid. Why don’t you try not being an asshole, you might be surprised at how the tone here will change. But I’m not ging to put Chuck in a bad position, if the bullshit continues, I can post elsewhere, the folks here do seem to enjoy Spit, threats, attacks, and all.
Anyone who believes Alex Smith, the Worst Qb in the History of the San Francisco 49ers, is good, must be educated. Twinfan’s education is painful to us all. But wrongs must be corrected. He plays the victim well.
Fuck Rodney King. Martin Luther King says, “Get along, you fucking mooks.”
Oh, and the whole point of my posts was NOT to illustrate that Brodie was a bad QB… rather to show that he did not reach his potential until the second half of his career. The first half of his career, he struggled at times, and had numbers like Alex. Which obviously in no way proves that Alex will follow suit… but perhaps shows that, even after 7 years, there is hope at least of improvement. That’s why I’m patient for now, and curious to see what Harbaugh can get out of Alex over at least half a season. Now don’t bother me with this shit anymore (LOL), and wake me after the bye.
Last chance, Spitty. Contiue this bullshit, and I’m taking them down. No one here enjoys the endless blather. It’s why I started the LAST one. To get away from V and his endleess inane blather.
You post a lot of valid stuff. Which is why I WAS lenient in letting your shit go.
As of now you are trolling and baiting. Get over it or get deleted.
Chuck,
My feeling is to advance a conversation or a debate, you must have a good grasp of reality. If you do that, your foundation is solid. If you don’t do that, and build your argument on a faulty premise,
it destroys meaningful debate. And that’s what we are all trying to do here – get to the truth and figure out what’s real and what’s marketing and bullshit created to sell tickets. A perfect example: Jerry Jones recently coming out and saying Tony Romo played well.
The reality is that we’re all sick and tired of the Alex Smith debate. Everyone of us is. No exceptions. However, because qb play is such an important aspect of winning football, you can’t just avoid the conversation. All things eventually lead to Alex Smith. It sucks. I know. But if we call a spade a spade, or we’re realistic about how Alex Smith is a stop gap, game manager without much skill, then we can advance the conversation or debate. Sure, we can change the subject, which we should now, but in the end we’ll all get sucked into the Alex Smith debate and those who apologize for him or sympathize with him won’t be receiving my kindness. Why not? Because they’ll succeed in squashing the debate, which is, I believe, their intention in the first place. My feeling is, if we can’t correctly build on a premise and advance the debate, why blog here?
Well, as I posted before the Seattle game, I consider Dallas the biggest game of the early season, perhaps the year. And therefore, Smith’s. I do not anticipate a “vanilla” offense, I think we’ll see a much more aggressive game plan- this will be a huge game for Smith, he needs to beat a pretty good team and I think he’ll need to do it in the air.
Alright, I’m gonna pipe in here.
1) Spit does add valid stuff sometimes. He even displays a sense of humor, as do others. It is not all anti-Smith-all-the-time dribble. But apparently he is easily provoked, and then sometimes goes into boring (to me anyway) mode.
2) The gay stuff is fucking boring. The macho shit is fucking boring.
3) Anything relating to whether Smith is good or not is beyond fucking boring, unless the boring is boring a hole through my temple with a GD ice pick. It’s been talked about, hashed around, over and fricking over.
4) And people do need to lighten the fuck up. And if you can’t lighten up, then please, whatever you do, continue to make overstated, gross generalizations about EVERY SINGLE person who has ever said ANYTHING on Chuck’s blog, being certain to categorize them as ALL one way or ALL the other without any sense that there can be subtle differences in people’s expression of their own PERSONAL opinion.
Boring.
Easily provoked? I’m a model of self control. I’m going to lay the greatest beat down in the history of FF on your team this week for hurting my feelings.
So now this dipshit says that having an opinion other than what he holds on Smith is “squashing debate? ” Why don’t you everyone know your position on everthing so all can get in line with the Spit Way. I called it- Blog Nazi.
Let’s change the subject, shall we? Let’s talk secondary. Dez Bryant, Miles Austin, Witten …. I can’t even remember who their running back is anymore. Carlos Rogers better bring his A game. I wonder if it’s Reggie Smith or Dashon in this one? Williams played well enough on Sunday to enter into the conversation, but there were two blown coverages. Can’t have blown coverages against the Cowboys. And we must punish Tony Romo.
I am soaking in the realization that freedom of speech on blogs is a very good thing. However, being repetitive, threating, and tedious is not. It sounds like there is history here that is likely to remain for a long-time. For people like me who have been “insane” for years, it’s kinda like water off a ducks back. I like reading both of you guy’s posts. Twin, being an Alex Smith hater myself doesn’t mean i don’t respect your opinion.
We almost certainly will have a few blown coverages. Too many new guys playing in the secondary. So it will fall to the pass rush to try to tear Romo’s head off before he sees them, and the offense to hold up its end.
Its not an impossible game to win, but it’s abundantly clear that the Cowboys should be favored. Hopefully JH and Fangio can cook up some witches’ brew to befuddle them for 60 minutes.
So, we done?
Cool.
Everyone the world over has their opinion regarding Alex. Ranging from smelly turd to a diamond in the rough who needs some coaching up.
We are at game one of the 2011 season. Howz about we hold off on the Smith debate until the bye week. Game by game, or even play by play dissecting of Smith and his foibles is akin to shoving flaming bamboo shoots under one’s fingers and toenails.
Spit, love the passion, but you’ve been all over the Smith argument. The ONLY reason you have been spewing your shit lately is because Twinfan had some good things to say about him. Leave it at that. You ain’t changing his mind. He ain’t changing yours.
Spare the rest of us the constant back and forth. It’s as boring as last year’s offense.
So a simple motherfucking “played well” should launch this days old spiel? Bullshit, In stating an opinion on how the game went, an OPINION on QB play is hardly out of line. I’m not going to abide being attacked over a totally non-offensive and totally supportable post. I thought Smith played well. BFD. For the sake of the blog, you guys should try to keep your boy Spit under control. I have zero intebntion of taking shit from him.
Well, they should call me then ’cause I have some witch’s brew that leaves me in constant befuddlement. 24/7/365.
Jesus fucking Christ. J.T. O’Sullivan, worst QB in 49er history. Move on
The criteria was three years at qb. Would you like me to rehash said parameters?
Alex didn’t fit your own rigged criteria, pal.
From MM’s offensive analysis:
“Gore takes the hand off toward the left side against a nine-man box.”
“Against an eight-man box, Gore takes the handoff and starts out toward right guard. ”
“Against 10 men in the box, Hunter tries to run off right guard.”
I wonder what freedom Smith has under Harbaugh to call audibles? We are going to keep seeing the entire population of small countries in the defensive box and our running game will be crap — until we can make them pay.
I’m not going to have Spit’s bullshit prevent me from having opinions. Keep his ass in line and you’ll be shocked at how well it goes.
Anyway, Seattle closed to two because of a *defensive* lapse, Ginn didn’t *save* Alex, he helped the TEAM win the game, just as McDonald did, Lee did, Akers, and yes: Smith. Until it’s clearly understood that it is not Smith’s win or loss, but the team’s, you just ain’t getting it.
Good luck with that. Letting it go means you gotta stop your infatuation with Alex. Talk about something else, unless ….. you can’t.
STFU, Tyler. Tyler? How does a Mom know that early? One of life’s little mysteries.
I think Barley is really, really fuckin’ with me. His strategy is to drive me deep into Dennis insanity territory so I don’t set my roster. It’s geneous. Right now, because of prior conversations, I can’t wax philosophic about 8, 9 and 10 in the box. Fuck me. I can literally feel the screws in my head coming loose from the pressure build up. I’ve been neutralized. Must …… recover……
Here’s another tidbit from MM.
“The 49ers converted just 1 of 12 third-down attempts, but seven of those were called run plays.”
Can’t put those on our QB (see how I cleverly avoid using his name, avoiding any provocation). I hope he has the green light to audible. I mean — 3rd and 2, running play called, Dallas has ten men in the box? Personally, I don’t want a run there. Chance of success is poor.
DE – FENSE……. Bump, bump……. DE-FENSE!
OK, it’s time there was a new whipping, uh, man, here so yeah, let’s change the subject to the utterly worthless malingering Diva, Michelle Crabtree,.Her dramatic show in the back of the end zone has been nominated for a Day Time Emmy.
I think it was justified. No offensive passing touchdowns in a game where wide receivers are wide open in the end zone? Speaks to poor vision if you ask me. Crabtree should get a medal for speaking his mind. It’s the true tweets from Willis and Roddy White, and the frustration in Crabtree that show certain realities.
I disagree. Crabtree has not earned the right to criticize shit. He is a pussy who has not worked hard enough to suit me.
If Frank or even VD wants to throw a hissy fit, I’ll consider. Crabs? They have something to get rid of that, don’t they?
Whether Alex is good or not, I hate me the Crabs.
You never earn the right to criticize anyone. Crabtree is definitely immature. But it doesn’t change the fact that his antics point to a bigger problem, and in a world of spin trying to sell Alex, I find Crab’s antics refreshing. Why? Because they are honest.
I’m surprised MC played as much as he did, and that Williams was inactive. My opinion of Crabtree right now is not that he’s a bust, but he may well be on his way to being one –even if that is because he can’t stay healthy. Year three. 1st round pick at 10th. He should be fully ripping it up. He’s not. The diva stuff is BS, IMO. But he’s not delivering, any way you cut it.
I think they should activate Williams and give MC more time to get healthy, and practice (ouch, that word!).
+1 for the Williams shout out. Play the guys who have earned it.
I’m totally down with Williams. Starting Crabtree was curious. I think there’s something in the wind with Crabtree’s contract.
Crabtree is interesting. Up until this year, can you really blame him for anything? A young wide receiver under Singletary and Raye? But his immaturities point to certain unnamed problems on this team. That’s why I like him. Right now, Crabtree needs to start getting into shape, buying in and toning up his body. He’s not a bust, but he’s certainly not worth 5.5 million a year. I’d be willing to bet the Niners hit him with a request for a pay reduction. I still like the kid, but he needs to workout. He needs to spend a lot of time in the gym. Right now, he’s a flabby kid with no work ethic because his former offensive coaches were idiots.
Even if that was true, he shouldhave been workign hard to impress JH. Instead, he took another paid holiday and still seems to be playing, ‘it’s all about me’.
Hate his ass.
Yeah, but he did have surgery. I’m sure in this day and age you can fake surgery, but I think there’s some validy to his surgery. What Crabtree should have been doing on the PUP was spend the entire time in the gym and classroom. Right now he’s a goldbrick. At the end of the year he’ll either have started to work on his conditioning, or he’ll be asked to take a pay cut. I guarantee you one thing, though – if he hits the open market, he won’t be making even 3 million a year. The Niners have some leverage over Crabtree already.
The uninformed didn’t realize that there was no time to throw to Michelle.
The diva label is totally justified. Gosh, you don’t like that? Too fucking bad, sometimes players get unfairly labeled, don’t they?
There’s never enough time when your footwork and delivery are slower than a twinfan Neuron.
Thanks, I was hoping I could keep you online long enough for the remote key logger to get the info it needed. Shopping Spree!!!
There’s nothing “curious” about Crabtree, he’s a lazy POS who caused at least three of the early interceptions last year with his lazy routes.
don’t you mean sharks with lazers?
Wow, I go away to write a post, and there’s 30 more responses . . .
