Does Adam Smith of the 49ers suck as bad as Ryan Leaf?

Question

Or is that going too far?

Answer 1

You mean Alex Smith?  If Alex starts skipping practice to go golfing, alienates his teamates, and comes close to assaulting reporters then yes.

Answer 2

His name is Alex Smith. Playing wise, both of them haven't lived up to their first-round status. But at least Alex Smith is a good teammate and ACTUALLY tries to perform well.

Answer 3

Smith is a product of Urban Meyers spread offense. I knew he'd be a subpar QB in the NFL.  

Answer 4

No, not yet. You have to take into consideration that Alex has had different coordinators on offense every year in the NFL and he hasnt fully mastered any of them. He did make some improvement but last year he was mostly injured. He has been over-doing it lately which result into costly interceptions.

Answer 5

Uhhh... i assume you're talking about Alex Smith?  You idiot.

Anyway, Smith is a good QB.  But the 49ers system doesn't fit him.  They need to trade him somewhere else where he will fit in.  He is very athletic and doesn't do well in the Mike Martz pass-50-times-a-game system.

Comparing him to Ryan Leaf is insane.

Answer 6

( Alex Smith )

The poor guy is simply frustrated. He has had 3 different offensive coordinators in 4 years on a team that was rebuilding and he gets blamed for them not doing well.

The team now finally has some decent talent and prospects and Smith has to compete for the job that the 49ers give to J.T. O'Sullivan after Smith went through h**l for 3 years and taking the blame for a situation that really wasn't his fault. You gotta be kidding!!

He not that bad. Not many rookie would have done much better in his situation.

Answer 7

It's Alex and no because Ryan Leaf didn't even try. He admitted later that his heart wasn't in it. I think Alex is trying his hardest but he has had a new system every year he's been in the league.

Answer 8

I would say it is a little harsh. Alex Smith (not Adam) is at least competing for the job, and still has many years to make up for what he has done.. or not done. I just think Ryan Leaf was meant to be something else. Football wasn't what he wanted to do. Alex Smith, however, at least likes what he does and tries every week.

Answer 9

whose adam smith?

Answer 10

Yep
