Alex Smith gets the job done, he has for a year and a half almost now, and he got the the conference championship, and he almost got to the SB.

I'm not saying he's great, but he's mot exactly Tim Tebow either. He completes passes, usually doesn't throw picks, and that's usually enough.

The 49ers played awful against the Giants, and still only allowed 26. A lesser team gives up 40+ when your starting QB is that bad.

One thing to note he doesn't pass as much as anybody else either so his small sample size should be judged even harsher when it comes to his game management.

I think it was last season harbaugh was praising him as an "elite" qb with the likes of brady, manning and co

Thats the problem hes exactly like Tebow except he can't run. Thats the reason they insert Colin because hes got wheels. Hes averaging 10 touchdowns a season and his lifetime qb rating is 77. He doesn't get the job done whatsoever.

They beat the bills who gives a **** (in my opinion)

I'm making the point that games don't matter as much as execution, and 49ers offense is lacking in that consistently. It will catch up to them even if it hasn't yet.

COLin ****ing Kapernick is who they put in for an explosive play. Aight, hows that for point. ****ing kapernick.

It's not a point at all, it sounds/looks like drunken, ignorant blather. They don't execute? What, in one or two games? All of which were in hand btw.

You guys are basically writing the 9ers off, when they're probably about to win their division and make a run in the playoffs.

I can make a much better case for their execution than you can make for their lack thereof. I can, and have.

you have won the debate missy, with your high powered vernacular.

your still wrong tho

Smith can throw spirals and hit receivers in stride. He's an average, if not slightly above-average passer. Tebow on the other hand throws ducks, and if he forces the ball down the field he throws picks every time because of his ****ty release.

He is nothing like Tim Tebow. What would be accurate is if Tebow lost his ability to scramble and run over linebackers, but learned how to complete passes at a respectable rate, and throw spirals, he would be Alex Smith.

Tebow is Peyton Hillis with a little bit of an arm.

Hey, lets put alex smith on the denver broncos last year, and see how effective of a qb he would have been.

tebow has won from behind. At least when tebow throws it it goes high in the air and a receiver catches it downfield

Smith can throw spirals and hit which receivers in stride? Did you miss the 77 qbr lifetime or the 11 td's avg per season? Tebow is horrible there is no denying it, the same is true of Smith. Tebow threw 12 tds last year and 6 picks so its not exactly true, his rating was atrocious but he throws incompletions rather then picks. Hes exactly like Tebow except he can't run.

Soooo...the argument here is that Alex Smith is capable of beating a high powered offense like the packers or the patriots? Is that what yall are debating? Ill just throw my two cents in for the heck of it here. He can as long as the San Fran deffense can contain them and hold the opposing team to maybe 17 points or something in that area. If they need a last minute scoring drive where its all on his back and they going on a 2 minute drill....not so much I dont think. Or if they have to match blows with an opposing offense, say touchdown for touchdown. No, not so much. If that is the debate that is how I view it because he has not shown me anything to the latter. You honestly cant make much of a case for him being anything more than what he is and thats a QB riding the back of his deffense and Frank Gores beast like rushing. If Gore gets hurt, which he was showing signs that he was shaken up cause he left the game early last night. They are more than likely in for a long rest of the season. Does that put any kind of clarity on the points I think both parties are talking about here? Or am I missing something?
