I completely agree Chris - But, running such an offense takes a QB that we simply do not have.

If you thought I was saying San Francisco should run it, I wasn't. That was the quote from Pace in the article. Notice the quotation marks.

Yep, I did think that - missed the q-marks

smith is smart enough to remember a series of plays to pull this off. could give us a big advanatage.

Smart enough to remember - yes!.....Smart enough to execute - (imo) no!

yeah, because the difference at being great at the no huddle and not is simply remembering the plays.

If we tried to go no huddle though we shouldn't do it when it's fourth and long because he'll get confused and only throw the ball for a three yard completion.

Wait scratch that - he'll still do that anyway.

I hated that, I don't think he thought that was going to get him a first down through good blocking; it was like he thought, "well, we're not going to get it so it would be smarter to push them back 7 yards." To me, in that situation, it would be smarter to go for first down and let the defense worry about those 7 yards if you don't get it. :facepalm:

The decision to go for it was bold; the decision to throw a 3-Yd flat was just inane. I get it that Akers was off on Sunday but if you are playing the percentages then Akers has an astronomically better chance of converting a 52-yd FG than Vernon has of taking a 3yd flat for an additional 13 yards.

Effectively we gave the Giants "missed FG field position" without attempting the damn FG! Just ridiculous! I agree, on that play either you "go for it" and call a deep underneath designed to pick-up 15+ yards, or you locate an iso and throw a pass inside the 10, you punt or you actually attempt the FG. You don't throw a fricken 3yd flat. Grr!

I think once Tolzien takes over as our QB in a couple of years we will be ready. Kaep has a cannon yes but I think that Tolzien will surpass him and be our QB I really like that guy. He plays well
