I'm serious - how the **** does he even manage that? Give the guy shit and he produces like an average to slightly below average quarterback. It stands to reason that giving him actual weapons will yield some sort of ROI...

Nope - same goddamn guy. The ability to be nominally productive in his first year or two here with a bad line and zero weapons to speak of was pretty damn admirable. But the fact that he's pretty much just hugged that line of abject mediocrity while the team around him has gotten progressively better (to the point of legitimately dangerous)....well that's just bizarre.

Drops, running game, pass pro, the defense did I forget an excuse?

Alex Smith is significantly more impressive when his team sucks.

Because he's no better when they're good so his middle of the road play for a shitty team actually looks pretty good.

Fellow Planeteers, I beseech thee;

Take a cue from young DJ here and embrace the reality that IS a useless Alex Smith.

Then, righteously focus thine anger on the fatassed, sideline bobble-head which insisteth on playing this fool.
