Does anyone like Alex Smith from the 49ers?

Question

Alex Smith? 1st overall pick?

Answer 1

I like him. He's been a bust so far but he came into a really bad situation in san fran. It's hard for a young qb to get his barrings when he has no line to protect him. Plus his Wr's have been pretty crappy since he came to town.

Answer 2

Been hurt too much...kind of a bust...no longer starts in favor of J.T. O'Sullivan. I don't think the 49ers like Alex Smith too much anymore.

I do think he can be successful in the right situation, though. He's still young and was a system passer at Utah. Give him time.

Answer 3

I did when they drafted hin now i know he makes ryan leaf look good i hate him.

Answer 4

He's got talent, but he's in the wrong situation. I think he needs to get out of San Fran is he ever wants to get his career off the ground.

Answer 5

you know what happened to him?

ill give an analogy..

when quarterback throws right into traffic and hangs his receiver out to dry... in this case smith was the receiver and nolan was the qb...

threw him right under the truck...

fire nolan..

holmgren '09

Answer 6

He was the better QB in a draft weak at QB. Aaron Rogers was picked later in the round but was able to sit for 3 years, watch one of the greatest of all time, while he learned the system and worked on his arm strength and mechanics.

Rogers is now a much better QB.

ASmih was taken too high and was thrown into the fire. He wouldn't be a first rd pick, nevermind #1 overall in most other drafts.

The only QB taken that year, other than Rogers, that has done anything is Derek Anderson......Taken in the 6th rd.

Guys taken ahead of him include Campbell who is barely hanging on in Washington where he has a ton of weapons, and a host of scrubs: Frye,Walter,Green, Leflors, Mcphereson, and a guy I like cause he's from my area, Dan Orlovsky.

I don't really consider ASmith a bust because I always knew he would fail.

Answer 7

"I think he's getting better and better right now. He needs consistency and continuity, which we all do. I think he is going to perform well! I wouldn't use him though unless you playing in a deep league, hope this helps!
