Hopefully this guru gets Alex Smith to stop looking ridiculous when he throws the ball.

Stop embarrassing us Alex!!

wait a min, it looks like he's looking through his fingers as he's throwing the ball.

His accuracy is going to be that good in 2012!

As he has every off-season the last 8 years?

I thought Jikkle gave the appropriate caveats, but just to respond, he hasn't had the same opportunity for the last eight years, especially considering that he's only had 7 off-seasons, one being before his rookie year. More substantively, this year the offense, Alex included, doesn't have to learn a new offense - and this offense isn't prehistoric, predictable like Singletary/Rayes. Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean he'll do well and it doesn't mean that Alex hasn't also tried to improve mechanics every year he has been here. Every snap is an opportunity to get better at mechanics, even when he was learning a new offense - but learning a new offense has to take some time away from other things - this year he can work on it without learning much more. Building chemistry is easier when the receivers either are veterans, have good coaching, or was here last year.

Nike didn't select him. We (9ers organization) sent a representative there to unveil their "new uniform". Each team had to send one player to model in this uniform. It just so happens that we were the one who sent Smith. The organization probably didn't think that Nike would have done a commercial that same day as well. I'm not knocking anyone, I'm just saying... this isn't a "discount double check" type of commercial / endorsement deal.

I think it would be great if harbs made smith into a perrenial pro bowler

I would think it would be great if Harbs made every player on our teams into a perennial pro bowler.

I think it would be great if Harbaugh gave me his next year's salary.

Whether or not he turns guys into pro bowlers? Eh, I guess that would be okay.

Maybe he could give you his salary and turn you into a pro bowler as well?

I was being sarcastic fellas! Posted it after reading an article by MM on CSN.


Nobody would call it a starring role, but hey, that's Alex Smith in a Nike commercial. That's what going 13-3 as an NFL starting quarterback will do, apparently. Before this Nike ad, you'd be hard pressed to find Alex Smith in many national advertisements.

I'm dealing with a pinched sciatic nerve at the moment, but I guess it would be worth a shot.

Then I could buy my own llama, and stop posting with this guy -->

indeed

He's going to be better this year than last year. With the weapons that have been added to the offense i have a hard time believing he's going to do worse.

i would think so too statistically, but not going to expect too much more. the harder one to judge is how much his intangibles improve?

but you never know, last season may have been an exceptional year for him (along with everyone else 49er)? so we're using last year as too high a reference point.

or he may do the same as last year?

smith showed improvement before harbaugh took over and it carried over to last season. having a full offseason with the same playbook will do nothing but help. how much it will help is what we're all waiting for.
