I think if they got the Alex Smith that was in SF last year they'd win a lot. I think this defense is going to be a bear to deal with next year. I think the attacking one gap defense is a perfect fit for Poe and we will see true playmakers shine in it.
70% completion, 13/5 TD ratio in basically 9 1/4th games isn't horrendous. That's basically a 23/10 ratio over the course of a season.
Smith is still only 28, so that's another plus.
I'm just trying to find the editable parts of this shit sandwich.

Problem with a year or 2 developing is, he's prob going to get 2-3 years after that. So you won't know one way or another until about 3-4 years what you've got.
Plus, I'm a believer that even with sitting, he's still going to have a learning period after that and I'd rather him just learn in the fire.
And if you think the defense will be a bear, woudln't it make more sense to let your rookie QB lean on them early and our running game to get his feet wet?
****, I just don't think I have it in me for another retread. I said it last night about FOles, say it again here. This is just too damn familiar and I feel pretty ****ing dirty even entertaining the idea.
Yeah, his last year wasn't horrendous, neither was 2011. Neither was Matt Cassel's 2010 or 08.
