I don't want to make excuses for Alex as he's been terrible for most of his career and even last year was very inconsistent.. however, we can't lay the blame of my team's lack of success over the past 8 years all on him. There is plenty of blame to go around including piss poor coaches and multiple OC's that did not know what they were doing.

The thing Alex needs to realize though is that Harbaugh limited what he was doing for a reason. He simplified everything for Alex and put him in the best possible positions to excel. Alex with a different coach would probably have shyt out the same results we were used to. He has no excuses this year. We have the best WR corps that we've had since Owens/Rice. Time to wreck shop or stfu.

It's not entirely his fault they were losing but he did play a major role.

That's beside the point. He's claiming Cam's numbers were inflated because Carolina was losing. If that was true, how come his stats looked so sub-par when the Niners were losing?

Cam with an above-average defense last year makes the playoffs...

Cam Newton as QB with the Niners vs Giants game. Niners are in the super bowl. If the niners defence plays the same way.

Well, people were bringing up team record. For those who haven't followed SF, I want to point out the reasons why the team had sucked for so long.
I think you are trying to force something here that isnt needed.


The point is, Alex Smith sucks. Cam Newton is a better QB than he is after just one season, and there is no reason for Smith to discredit Cam's rookie season.

What do you want me to say? Alex is an idiot. He's speaking out of turn on something he knows little about.

Let's be honest about Cam though. He is an incredible athlete with a ton of potential but he is also very lucky to be with a team that catered to his abilities. A lot of QB's with mobility are made to change the way they play once they get into the league and it ruins them.

That's because most of the QB's that have that mobility are not great passers when they come into the league. It's not like the Panthers had to condense the playbook on some Tebow sh!t, they opened the whole playbook with Cam

Yes, but he did stunk it up until we took lead and Greg want to go to cover 0. :snoop:

well u ain't gotta worry about him no more. we'll see y'all nikkas in the Dome.

as for this topic, alex is right. yards ARE an overblown stat but he picked a bad example talking about cam.

While I disagree about his Cam analysis, he's dead on about passing yards per game being an overrated stat, especially in this Steroid offense era. Yards per attempt is a much better stat.

Even with Crabtree still half-assing it & them having no other WRs besides Davis, and in the rain/mud conditions that day?? :usure:
