I think you missed the part where he is 5th in YPA. He doesn't have "300 yard 3TD games" because he has a total of 209 pass attempts.

Compare that to Eli Manning (294), Tom Brady (320!), Drew Brees (315) and Aaron Rodgers (294).


The 49ers are first in rushing. We win with our running game and defense. Alex and the receivers especially are much improved but they are secondary.

I'm usually one of the first to shyt on Alex but he's playing well against BAD TEAMS. That's something he never did before. We've all been waiting for him to kill bad teams and he is finally doing it. The problem is he still struggles against the elite.. so how far can we go with him as QB is still a huge question mark.

Again, anyone saying "five yard passes" isn't watching. He's making more plays this year than he ever has.


So much gospel truth in this post.

The criticism of yards is dumb when you consider the gameplan he plays under, and it's not that way because the coach doesn't believe in him, it's that way because that is Harbuagh run-run-run, he did it at Stanford with Luck.

The stuff about him playing well against bad teams is dead on, and it's something I think a lot of people ignore about other "Great" QB's. Most of them star QB's pad their stats on the bad teams, that's how it usually goes.

Some people think Rodgers, Brees and Brady are carving up top 5 defense for 16 weeks a year

If the game is on the line and a wr isn't college open, Smith ain't making the throw. He would rather dump it off to the TE or RB for a 4 yard gain on 4&15. Tight windows make that nikka nervous. I can't respect it.

What do you call that pass to VD to win the fukking game in the playoffs vs. NO?

That shyt was into the teeth of the defense.

The Saints have had the worst pass defense in the league for two years now. lol @ acting like playing well against them is some accomplishment.

Even then... his TE might just be the biggest playmaker on his team and he hasn't been targeting him at all lately

and I just can't imagine Harbaugh taking Davis out the gameplan like that...

Nah Harbaugh aint taking him out the gameplan but the idea is that people are trying to take Vernon away, and in doing so others are getting open.

Alex is smart in the fact he's just throwing to the open player

that's alright with me, I'm just saying, at one point, dude will have to "throw open" the receiver

I haven't seen him do that

I do think he's making better reads than he used to though...

Yeah, he definitely has a ton of room to improve, there are many things he can improve on.

If we ever want to truly contend for the trophy Alex will need to step up to the next level.
