The number is zero because Alex Smith doesn't play Defense.

Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl. Rex Grossman made it to a Super Bowl.
Pretty much any QB who's good enough to play in the NFL will be "good enough" if you get him into just the right circumstances. The question's really about which QBs can win in less than optimum situations. Brady took a horseshit defense to within a minute of a SB win in 2011, for example, while Andy Dalton can't win a playoff game in the divisional round. |

Right, right, it was all Kyle Williams fault for muffing two punts or whatever. Let's just ignore the fact that the 49ers had nine second half and overtime possessions, scored a TD and a FG, punted six times and had the clock expire on drive because Delanie Walker couldn't hold on to the football. Six punts with one of these punts in a sudden death situation. Yet, it's all Kyle Williams fault for sucking at his job. Surely nobody is glossing over the fact that the offense couldn't sustain a drive when it mattered most. And that 49ers team was superior to what KC is going to have this year and have better coaching to boot. They had defense comparable to that of the '13 Seahawks (who were the only reason Seattle has been in two Super Bowls and have come away with a Lombardi trophy) and an offense that's going to be within the same realm as what the Chiefs have with perhaps a slight edge to KC. Best case scenario is the Chiefs have a defense as good as the 2011 49ers. That Jeremy Maclin, Travis Kelce, Jamaal Charles, Albert Wilson, and Chris Conley are better than Michael Crabtree, Vernon Davis, Frank Gore, Kyle Williams and Ted Ginn respectively. A lot of the blame falls on the San Francisco defense for allowing the Giants to score three more points than what the 49ers were able to score in the conference final game. If the Chiefs of 2015 are equal to the 2011 49ers, then yeah, you can expect a playoff win but that's about it... And that's assuming the Chiefs are equal to or better than that team -and that's a stretch to say at this point beeeeeeeeecause...... The expectation should be that the team be more than one game above .500. I mean, the Chiefs did go 2-14 three years ago. That's pretty hard to overcome in such a short amount of time.

So then it's all about the eye test, is it not?

Yes.
And before you shit on this, the eye test tells me that Alex Smith is capable of winning. The question is, can he overcome his own fear of risk consistently enough to do it? That question is unanswerable for us.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's a stretch to compare the two teams because honestly they are quite similar. Good running attack, same qb, scary defense all around, a monster at tight end. Only difference is 2011 49ers had pro bowlers on their line. With that being said people should be optimistic for the upcoming season. It's the Chiefs time to shine

2011 49ers had a nice easy schedule and was hitting the turnover lottery that season.
Offense being retrograde at time had a lot to do with holdout and system change, Injuries at WR, offensive line pass blocking was not good and neither was run blocking actually, RG and RT specifically. And the genius HC and his offense ability should be questioned after the past 2 49ers seasons. Gore went from 4 catches a game to 1. Redzone offense or near the redzone sucked. It was who cares, we'll kick a FG. In 2010 the 49ers led the NFL in QB Rating in the Redzone 112.8 They fired the original OC Singletary had recruited and opened up the offense with Smith in shotgun more. Sing still sabotaged himself by playing Troy Smith. Look at how Smith finished 2010. Last 8 games *1 left with injury *1 came in in 4Q 1638 Yards 12 TD 5 INT And Frank Gore hurt his hip and was out in Week 11 on. 2015 KC > 2011 SF But in 2011 it was free pass to playoffs an division win. 1st things 1st is getting past DEN. |

And in large part because of that QB.

With a 3-5 record?
You crow about his stats, but in five of those eight games the 49ers scored 20 or fewer points, and they lost all but ONE game in which the defense gave up more than 20 points. http://www.pro-football-reference.co.../gamelog/2010/ Alex is never ever going to be the QB you want him to be.

I'm withholding judgement until the end of this season....year 3 for Reid/Dorsey to design their roster. They wanted Sanders and Beckham...and it didn't fall that way. Smith now has legitimate weapons...Kelce is the #1 TE coupled with Maclin. Wilson would have had 900 yards as a rookie if his numbers were over a 16 game span.
I'm optimistic...Brees was what 7-9...what was Eli? Wilson just about won back to back SBs...and I doubt anyone here considers him "elite". Those muffed punts most definitely prevented Smith from going to the SB...it would be like blaming Bono for missing 3 FGs in a playoff game. You only control what you control.. Smith has been in a position to win all of his playoff appearances...muffed kicks, injuries and miracle fumbles arent his fault. Last edited by BlackOp; 07-11-2015 at 03:33 PM.. |
