Smith or another QB

Smith's passing ability is very good, but he can't handle close game situations.  He always gets sacked and sometimes takes forever to throw the ball.  I think Singletary should think of releasing him or another QB and bring in a good QB from the draft.

  • They should have rid themselves of Alex Smith when they had the chance. He does what bighoochypapa said.  He gives the ball up too many time for the turnover that cost us the game.  It's not the different OC issue, or the injury, or Nolan or any other excuse that people have used for him.  He's not an NFL caliber QB.  Never has been, never will be.

  • alex smith is definately the guy,he played 9 or 10 games and threw 18 TDs,hes on the right path,if the niners add a couple good young lineman in the draft,smith could possibly have a great pro bowl potential year,and were getting joe staley back,niners r in the playoffs no doubt,and one other thing alex smith has never ever had the same OC for 2 straight years,thts hard 4 a QB 2 keep goin in every year starting over,learning a whole new style offense, the guys not a robot his brain can only hold so much info,so having the same OC for the first time in his career is a huge plus,the NFC better watch out the niners r just a couple players away from makin a serious run,Patrick Willis 4 president,go niners!!!!!!!!

  • Thats True bleedred_sweatgold. But i had season tickets last year and i saw plenty of uncalled for mistakes.  Alex smith just doesn't make good decisions, He throws the ball away when he could easily run it for 4-5 yards, he throws into traffic with 2 or 3 defenders when he has a man wide open, he is a quick quarter back but he never pulls it down a runs with it for a few yards to help out the run game, don't get me wrong the o-line does need some work but they cant do it all, especially when he holds onto the ball as long as he does when they do hold their line spots.  To me at leas when i comes down to it, he just cant make the right decisions when throwing the ball which leads o alot of his mistakes.

  • It's not the  QB it's the "O" lines responsibility to protect him. That's why he keeps getting sacked. When the "O" line doesn't open up holes for the run game, it give the other teams defense confidence to blanket the receivers. Thus, Smith has to hold on to the ball longer to find the open man. Which in turn means he's susceptible to sacks (cause he's in the pocket longer).

  • Im from bakersfield and have seen our new QB David Carr play close up! He was good in high school and college and hopefully he comes back to that after his first year with the Texans and not gettin much playing time with the Giants..Im still a SMITH fan and am praying he gets to show his full potential this season and get out of the riff he was in
