Alex Smith Not Letting Us Down

[daves]

So who can explain that penalty on the pick to me at the end? I get the hold call but after the pick the DB goes down, nobody touches him, and he gets up. Crabtree nails him and he actually fumbles. Are they saying he was down because he slid down? It's not college it's the NFL, only the QB is down when he slides down or am I missing something?

I believe the NFL rule applies to all players, not just QBs. I don't recall whether it ever applied only to QBs or whether it was changed at some point, and i've never been able to find the complete set of NFL rules online, but every mention of the rule that i've found echoes this one.

The 49ers are a trainwreck. It isn't even all on Alex Smith who might overtake DA as the worst qb in the league. That whole team is a mess

Anderson won 2 games. Smith won zero. Those are the numbers that count so Smith was and probably is the worst QB. That does not mean Smith want get his act together some day. I sure would like to trade Anderson for Smith and even throw in a draft choice.

I believe Troy Aikman lost either 9 or 10 games his first year. I think the fans thought they had a dud on their hands as fans usually do even after only one season. Kyle Orton the Bears old QB was booed out of Chicago and I think has the best numbers for a QB in the league this year. Through five games he has completed 66% of his passes and passed for 1733 yards. Tim Tebow can look forward to two more years on the bench the way Orton has been playing. Alex Smith needs a new home and I think he would have some great success. Once the fans start booing you it is easy to lose all your confidence.

We can't do that! Doesn't Max Hall (BYU) hate Smith (Utah)? How would they co-exist?
