Nothing throws a little levity into any situation quite like some Diamond Dave... well chosen :thumb:

For the record... i'm fine with people bitching and questioning, I'M still doing some questioning of my own, the difference is that i'm resigned to the fact that there isnt a damn thing i can do about it, so why not just hope for the best.

If those two minds somehow determined that Axl was our best bet, i'm willing to roll with that - for now - hopefully they know something about this we dont, thats what i'm going with because, well, what else can i go with?

But if it makes everyone feel better, helps them get used to this, bitch away... as BRC said, right now EVERYONES opinion is valid, axl defintely COULD blow up in our faces... for my own sanity, i simply choose to believe our braintrust is on top of this shit.

And what about the 13 possessions that ended because the 49ers QB couldn't extend them?

The defense did its job. Competent QB'ing wins that game easily.

If you want to blame the 49er defense for a playoff loss, look at the SB, not last year's NFCCG. That's like blaming the Chiefs offense for the '03 loss when they made two mistakes all game.

i dont know. 38 turnovers last year from your qbs?

going to a guy who threw 10 in the last two years?

seems like a step in the right direction to me. Especially when you have a top 3 running back in the league.

That gives us roughly one and half years(playing time) to judge the trade by then. Pardon us if we are not swayed.

Big deal?

How many teams in the last decade have won with that formula? Is it more than zero?

I fail to recognize anything Cassel did pre Vikings time, the organization in KC was total shit.

While I agree, it's somewhat what the 9ers do.

PLAY GOOD FOOTBALL

I'm trying to understand how ASF can lambaste Nolan and Singletary for an antiquated strategy while concurrently suggesting we use the same strategy.

Okay folks. This coming from the biggest Alex Smith homer ever.

You may as well just not post anymore. These are the exact reasons we don't want Alex Smith or ANY other QB who fits this mold on our team.

CoMo just said is was a horrible trade in the other thread.


Take from it what you will.

If you can't rely on your quarterback to win games, you need a new quarterback. We're not talking M-theory here, this is incredibly easy information to understand based on a significant sample size and mounds of primary evidence.

It's about ****ing time.

And that may be the stone cold truth. But, its not fact as of yet.:rolleyes:

I think the entire offense and playcalling was at fault. It's difficult for me to lie the blame at the feet of Alex Smith, and that was decided long before the Chiefs traded for him.

The defense gave up a 80 yard TD drive to the Giants in the fourth quarter, which allowed them to take the lead. Alex Smith drove them back down for a field goal, which tied the game.

Actually, I blame the incredibly uncreative goal line playcalling for the 49er's loss in this year's Super Bowl. Why they didn't spread out their offense, which would have created lanes for Kaepernick to run, is baffling.
