It all went to shit when Singletary arrived but I'd much rather be in Alex's shoes than Geno's.

Think about what you JUST said. He had a new playbook to learn EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS FIRST FOUR YEARS in the league.
Its hard enough for a qb coming out of college to learn ONE play book. Now he has to do it every single year?
This is my problem with Alex Smith haters. They refuse to understand how and why great nfl franchises, STAY GREAT.
Continuity. Now, I don't know who you are on the 49ers board, but im sure that when I brought up this point about how and why players like Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Eli Manning, and up until last year Big Ben, had been qbs that thrived year in and year out.
It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that the minute Bruce Arians left Pittsburgh that the Steelers didn't make the playoffs.
Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning, have had the same systems their entire career.
Hell, Peyton Manning has had the same system his entire career. Even now in Denver.
What, you don't think that having Jim Harbaugh since day one is a huge help to Kaepernick?
Come on. The situations for both guys, are, and were terrible.
Neither Nolan, nor Rex Ryan believe that a qb is as important as the rest of the league knows.
