LETTING BRANDON WEEDEN DEVELOP!? THAT OLD ASS FUCKER IS OLDER THAN ALEX SMITH.
No, see now I'm going to have to back you up and slow your role, dude.
Last year, the 49ers were 11th in the NFL in scoring points at 23.8 points per game.
This year, he average 23.65 points per game, good enough for 15th in the NFL.
Now, there are other factors. Undoubtedly Crabtree being a bitch ass bust while Smith was under center is one of the reasons why they succeeded. Frank Gore is definitely good, but it helped that the QB was able to keep teams honest. Vernon Davis is better than most players on our team, no doubt. The others are gimmick guys which are at best, average.
See, the thing is, Alex Smith is a good QB. No one is calling him elite except you to make a weak point. He's better than Brandon Weeden, he's better than Colt McCoy, and this team, without a QB who is making horrible rookie fucking mistakes, would have won at least 8 games this past year with him. Now if you truly believe that we would be 6-10, so be it. But lets not act like Alex Smith was some terrible QB. He's a good QB in the NFL who could start for a variety of teams.
