Child, please.
Defense wins championships. The coaching staff, the lineman, the receivers, the run defense all failed way harder than our QB did that game. Alex Smith is a solid game managing QB who can take us all the way. Players getting paid up the wazoo (Houston, Maclin, Charles, Tamba) and aren't giving us jack ****.

Defense wins championships yet we have HoF QBs only representing the AFC in the SB for a long time now. Football cliches spewed by the star-struck media aside it is timely plays that win games. QBs have the best chance of making those plays. You can point to lack of run D, dropped passes, etc but Smith hasn't produced enough as a passer in 4 years to show he can score against teams with serious SB aspirations. Yea you can point to a game or two here and there but the big picture is that we are a below average offense for the supposed HC genius we have, continuity in system, resume of skill players and what we are paying them.
The easiest way to be an annual contender is to field a QB who can make plays in every game and most of us here are confident that there are options better than Smith.
