Four in a Row

Nov 08, 2009 113 Comments by Niner Pundit

How embarassing. The 49ers dropped their 4th in a row today to the Tennessee Titans. That’s right the 49ers got beat at home to a team with the worst passing defense in the league and a team that is quarterbacked by Vince Young.

Where do I begin. Playcalling was crap, offensive line was crap, quarterback was crap (3 INTs and a fumble), secondary couldn’t stop big pass plays by Vince Young. I know I’m forgetting something else.

Can’t wait to hear Mike Singletary’s spin on this one. So much for being ‘Physical’ with an ‘F’.

The saddest part is the Titans got 24 points off of turnovers.

    Yeah!!!!!!!! Vintage Alex!!!!!!!! Calling all Hill haters….Calling all Hill haters……. I love it!!!! Just shows that they never gave Hill a REAL Chance as Passer by the number of attempts and passing creativity in the games that he did played in……. And to all the Alex lovers…… Fiest on that!!!!!!!! Alex has the upside, Alex has this, Alex has that, Reality check ….. All Alex has is no wins and and a worse passer rating than Hill to this point ……….

    • Niner Pundit says:

      I still want Hill on the bench. There was a reason Hill never got those chances, because he wasn’t a good quarterback.

      • NinerPaul says:

        How do you know if he never got the Chance so fuck it put it Nate then who cares. Our best chance to win this year is Hill and an opened up Mike Martz Style of Offense or at least more of the spread offense. Do you remember Last year????? Hill 5 and 3 as starter, way more attempts and offensive numbers were way better by 60 or more yards, better passer rating, etc. This year the team is 3 and 5 now and what i’m suggesting has not even been attempted this yeah …… Let me say it again Hill and a higher percentage of the spread offense….. Our best chance this year…….. Nobody can say that this has been done as a game approach this year……… And we’re suppose to be getting better………..

        • Niner Pundit says:

          Again…I’d rather anyone over Hill. It was shown this year how bad Hill was. He can’t throw over 4 yards. He is not good.

          • NinerPaul says:

            Look at last year, and the beggining this year… Now your just talking trash …… Fact it worked we were winning ……… you know a winning record……

          • NinerPaul says:

            Fuck it put it Nate then…… But for the record Hill never got a Real Chance….. Like he did last year in that style of offense…..

  2. Joe Gomez says:

    Hahaha.. 3 fucking picks? Yeah this BUST has really improved all right. Hate to say I told you dumbmotherfuckers.. but I TOLD YOU SO! LMFAO!

    • chuckle49er says:

      its raye dog he is a shit coordinater it doesnt matter what quarterback we put in as long as he is the coordinater and the offensive line is still garbage!

  3. NinerPaul says:

    By the way Tennesee had 1 win until today wow…… And Alex cant even beat these guys ………..

  4. 9erbro says:

    Wow is all i can say. Lol, I say start Isaac and Aubrayo at RG and RT. Nothing like a short week after a devastating loss though.

  5. Ken Dorsey/ Tim Rattay says:

    Missing us yet?

  6. Vinny says:

    I think jason hill needs to play more. I didnt think he was but Isaac Bruce is done. Put in nate davis if the niners lose to the bears this thursday (only bc its a short week- not good for a qb change).

    Lets keep praying that the panthers keep losing.

    What a depressing loss.

  7. Matt says:

    Please, two of the picks were tipped balls that bounced off the WR’s hands…that’s not the fault of Alex Smith.

    The O-line still has issues, and it showed today.

    Our defense lacks a SS, and a FS…we’re going to need those if we want to succeed.

    We also lack a pass rusher, Haralson is not, and will never be the answer.

    All these knee-jerk reactions that Smith is crap is unfounded. Watch the game, and you’ll see that there were problems everywhere. It was a bad game, but showed potential. Calm down, take a breath, and think things through.

    • NinerPaul says:

      Commenting on the picks >> Thats called off target….. or late throws AKA bad QBing….. And you say knee jerk reaction….. Did you just become a Niner fan this year????? We aren’t in rebuilding mode anymore we have all the pieces…. the rookie coaching is showing up……

      • Mas says:

        NinerPaul is right.

        Bad timing/placement was why he threw 3 picks… Not receivers tipping the damn thing.

        Our O-Line is worse than Detroit’s line was last year.

        Jimmy Raye mixed it up but when you’re a “run-first” team with a “can’t block for shit” offensive front, you’ve got your priorities mixed up.

        Who ever is our QB for the remainder of the season, I don’t care. I’m still going to meet with the few Niner fans/friends I got stationed out here, turn on the TV and high five and throw shit accordingly.

        Jimmy Raye needs to get a swift kick in his old busted ass balls. Sing keeps on shuffeling players around but what he needs to think about doing is lighting a fire under his OC’s ass.

        • Mas says:

          Deshon Goldson gets beat more often than Hasselhoff’s reputation.

          I like what he tries to do in run support but when he got sucked up on Chris Johnson’s longest run of the day when he could have held containment was ridiculous.

          Adam Snyder & Chilo Rachal getting roasted worse than Flava Flave on a regular basis was embarrassing.

          Our overall inability to get any kind of push running the ball due to missed assignments and a lack of talent is obvious.

          So, No. We don’t have all the pieces. These are huge weaknesses that teams are going to exploit until we incorporate the right people into our system.

          We have a lot of pieces. I’ll give you that..

  8. NinerPaul says:

    I can say that at least they did open the game up a little today. 45 attempts today although some of it in garbage time…..

  9. 9erbro says:

    I’m all for arm strength but, picks are unacceptable Smith is a career back up. Time to move on.

  10. Joe Gomez says:

    Matt your stil suckin Alex’s nuts? Hahaha. Like I’ve said for years and years HES A FUCKING BUST! Yea blame the receivers dipshit, those throws were not accurate!!! Watch the tape idiot!

    • Matt says:

      You’re so fucking stupid. Watch the video dipshit, if the ball hits the receiver’s hands…guess who deserves the blame?

      I’ve noticed in just a little time here how stupid some of you posters are. You’re all bandwagon fans that think with your drunken asses. Joe Gomez, you’re just an idiot who doesn’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

      • Joe Gomez says:

        Matt you got Alex Smith’s cum so stuck in your throat that im not hearing you bro…LMFAO! Give it up, Alex is not the future. Its time to turn the page on this bum and give Nate a look. Alex is 0-6 in his last 6 fuckin starts. Hill is not the future either but atleast the guy’s record is 7-1 at home! hahaha..

        So do us all a favor and you along with Matt Maiocco who is also on Alex’s nutsack need to give it up. Ive been saying this for years and years and years. Alex is a draft BUST, he is a clipboard holder and nothing else. Im tired of losing and we need to get a REAL QB!!!!!

  11. 9erbro says:

    Easy Gomez. Plenty of ways to voice your opinion other than tearing people new ones. Matt just a counter point we seem to have a lot less tips off the receivers hands when Smith isn’t quarterback. Not slammin’ you; just sayin’ s’all.

    • caribulou says:

      HMM lets tips with Hill in because he doesnt have the arm strength. Quit the Alex bashing people and get a clue.

    • Joe Gomez says:

      9erbro.. sorry if i offended you man.. its just this Alex lover is getting on my nerves… il tell you why the ball is getting tipped.. the ball is getting delivered WAY TOO LATE! Alex has never learned to throw BEFORE the receiver makes his cut.. he has to wait until the receiver is open and only THEN he throws it. Hes been doing this since 2005 and it has never been corrected. He just doesnt have it, and IDIOTS keep calling for him, it just pisses me the fuck off. I just want to win and this bum needs to sit. Hes 0-7 in his last 7 starts!

  12. Matt says:

    Shaun Hill is a pussy with no arm strength and the WR’s still aren’t used to NFL caliber arm strength.

    There is very little chemistry between Alex Smith and his WR’s…thanks to the QB battle in TC, and Shaun Hill becoming the starter. Things don’t just magically become great, it takes time and patience.

    • NinerPaul says:

      Then why did Shaun win the first 4 games of the year he didn’t need time to build with less reps in the pre-season than smith >> Yeah I call the Minnesota Game a win for Hill to because of the play calling run bullshit to close the game and the defense giving it up in the end. so whats the fuckin excuses for??????????

  13. 9erbro says:

    To say that the recievers aren’t used to nfl caliber arm strength is a poor excuse. Chemistry could be a part of the equation but the difference between the tipped balls being picked off and being incomplete is Alex looking at the reciever to soon and locking on. That lets the safeties or surrounding players get into the area of the tips. But Shaun Hill does have marginal arm strength.

  14. Joe Gomez says:

    Hey John, are done? Swallow that Alex jism and listen little bitch… ALEX IS NOT ACCURATE ENOUGH! How many times is he going to overthrow somebody? How many times is he gonna LOCK on a receiver? How many times is he going to fumble? How many times is he going to throw a fucking pick? Most importantly when is he EVER going to win a game for us???? You are the most retarded poster here asshole because your the only one who still wants Alex! You would probably start him for another 5 years of pathetic QB’ing before you made a change! Bottom line is we deserve a quality who can lead us to wins and your boyfriend Alex has PROVEN time and time and time and time and time and time again that he is not capable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Comprende??????

  15. J Mack says:

    It’s funny… some of the people calling for Smith to be replaced in this post are the same people that were calling for Shaun Hill to be replaced a couple weeks ago…

    • NinerPaul says:

      For the record I didn’t I personally say that. I said they needed to make change based on there bullshit run Philosophy without two quality running backs….. That if there going to keep putting a QB in 3rd and long situations Alex has better arm strength. But it doesn’t matter because when you put the QB in that situation, Alex in this case, you run a high risk of throwing an INT. Shaun would take the sack. But the problem is the play calling on 1st and 2nd down >> Like the commentator said today… We have the highest rate of third and longs…. I Hill is a better QB but with Rayes offense it would be hard for any QB >> I will say this until it happens or Hill is gone or a new QB is drafted….. Hill and a higher number of attempts and the spread mike martz style of offense this is the only thing they HAVE NOT tryed this year >> And what do you know it worked better last year and when given the chance to open it sometimes this year as well …… Ohh yeah he’s accounted for all the wins dating back to last year for Sing ……

  16. Joe Gomez says:

    IT’S TIME FOR NATE DAVIS!

    • NinerPaul says:

      I’d rather see Nate then this shit…..

      • Mas says:

        ..Today royally pissed me the fuck off. Let Nate get reps if neither of these two can get it done.

        People talk about the “upside” to Alex Smith over Shaun Hill and it’s true.

        BUT… How much of an upside are we talking about? (LOL)

        I wouldn’t think it would be too bold to say that Nate has more upside than either of the other 2 combined at this point.

        If you all want to see Alex ride it out for the rest of the season, sure – whatever, I can live with that. What I’m saying is that 2-3 weeks from now, if the results stay the same, we’d be retarded not to get Nate the game time reps to close out the season.

        3-5 isn’t a lost season. Losing 4 straight is what gets me. WTF? Of the 8 remaining games, 5 are well within reach of a W. The other 3, not so good. With out going into some bull-shit in-depth week to week break down, 8-8 is what we could be looking at. That’s not going to get us into the playoffs but holy shit it’s shy of our early season expectations…

  17. bert says:

    alex smith is hard to figure out man seriously…one day he will look like he’s going to start to be a good qb n then reality sets in and he does shit…the o-line is still shit and until that is fixed the offense will look pathetic…u can put peyton manning back there and he would look like alex did…however i do feel that its time to draft a qb and move on from this experiment…maybe nate davis is the guy who knows but we need a stud at qb to take us to the next level…also the coaching staff needs to be tweaked…singletary is a good MOTIVATOR head coach? not sold on it…we need to bring in an offensive minded head coach that knows what the hell hes doing with the talent we have…it takes a whole lot of pressure off your defense when your offense puts up 35-40 pointa a game..just look at indy n the saints they seem to be doing pretty good

    • Joe Gomez says:

      Bro Peyton Manning wouldve won this game. Are you kidding me?

    • Joe Gomez says:

      I agree, Sing is a GREAT motivator but I think hes in over his head as a head coach. I was wondering why Lettermen kept doing those skits where you see the guy playing Sing repeating everything someone was yelling out. Now I understand, hes not in total control like a head coach should be. He lets Raye have total control of the offense and mostly controls the defense. I dont think he has much knowledge as far as offense and I dont blame him one bit. He was a LB and would be one hell of a defensive coordinator. We need to get a real Head Coach in here and hire Holmgren as GM. McClueless needs to go to and he can take Kentwan Balmer and his #1 overall pick with him. Worst picks ive ever seen. I cant believe we passed on Desean Jackson in the 2nd round and now hes tearing it up with the Eagles. Good news is, if your looking for a QB in next years draft, theres NO WAY to screw it up! Even if your McClueless!

  18. Joe Gomez says:

    Hey Alex Lovers.. Your boy is 0-6 in his last 6 starts! LMFAO! Bottom line is when the game tightens up, he tigtens up! If hes playing from behind playing catch he looks pretty good! Thats why I was laughing when you all were calling him the Savior after 1 half of football against the Texans. LOL. Alex doesnt have the touch, the accuracy, the leadership, the killer instict.. HE HAS NONE!!!!! We need to grab a QB in the draft plain and simple. Lets suffer with Alex the rest of the seaon because McClueless will stick with him no matter what. Nate Davis wont get his shot. Its time to look at Locker, Clausen, McCoy, Tebow, or somebody in the free agency next year. This is not cutting it. We have the talent, we just need a competent QB. Shaun Hill is NOT the answer, Alex Smith is NOT the answer. Nate Davis … well i dont think well find out this year. Next year, Davis compete with our draft pick for the starting spot. Were out of the playoffs plain and simple so Singletary better stop talking about playoffs. Playoffs? Are you kidding me?!!!!!

  19. 49ersfan4life says:

    Thanks to this game I am now down with football this year…. 4 in a row …. the sad thing is I really thought we would have a chance at be the NFC west champs ….. I did not think we would last long in the playoffs but would make them….. The 9ers are a team that can hold the colts from scoring more than 20 points and they turn the ball over and lose to a team that only had one win on the year… I bleed red and gold and its said too say that I now need a transfusion because it seems all I do is bleed “4 damn weeks in a row” I have no faith in our team….. I have mad respect for Gore,Davis and Willis and I believe in Sing. but its time he makes some big moves….. I am not gonna hate on Alex from what I seen only one of the picks was his fault and I believe he going too work out well for us….. Our D needs too step up I know they are on the field way to much but D’s win championships!! And I think if our Ray is the worst OC in the NFL he needs too go…… I am done trying too look at well it was close or hey maybe next week….. They lose too the Bears this week and I am done with football for the year….. STEP IT UP 9ers we are way better than this and for all the shit we take every week as fans. ITS TOO A POINT WHAT DO I FIND GOOD TOO TALK ABOUT THE TEAM I LOVE SOME MUCH!!! PLEASE THIS WEEK GIVE ME SOME HOPE FOR A PLAYOFF RUN!!!

    • 49ersfan4life says:

      sorry for the spelling really just so damn pissed didnt read over it!!! THE GOD DAMN TITANS TELL ME THIS IS A DAMN DREAM!!!

  20. Joe Gomez says:

    Sorry 49ersfan4life, No playoff run with Alex “the Bust” Smith running the offense. TOO MANY TURNOVERS! 3 FUCKING PICKS! 2 FUCKING FUMBLES! Lucky Gore was alert enough to recover one!

    • 49ersfan4life says:

      yup im with you Joe even if we didnt have alex we still HAVE DUMB ASS RAY RAY MAKING THE FUCKING CALLS!!!!!

  21. Joe Gomez says:

    Yea I dont like Ray either but believe me, Alex is making him look even worse. Run the tape back and you will see Smith throwing too high (again) plenty of times. Throwing the ball WAY TOO LATE. Locking on a receiver. Fumbling (twice). No leadership. No killer instinct. No urgency. Watch him in the last drive, looked like McNabb in the Super Bowl, just chillen and relaxin, taking his time.. LOL. We need to seriously take a look at Nate and then for next years’s draft.. LOCKER, CLAUSEN, COLT, TEBOW or theres a veteran free agent out there.. WE NEED HELP!!!!

  22. 49ersfan4life says:

    wish i could make it too the bears game i would were a bears shirt cuz then i would be able too feel like a winner one night i dont think we can even beat the lions at this point

  23. dosia510 says:

    i personally would like to see mccoy in a niner uniform, as much as i would also like to see what davis can do, mcloughan will not let smith get pulled, hey joe, u think davis is ready for a shot, u think hes learned the system enough to run it with his learning disability? i dont think well ever find out…..i have never been a smith supporter but i have also never bashed him, but after today, i felt like it was 2005 all over again….i dont care what anybody says, the film dont lie. i know one of those tipped balls was not an accurate throw. the other was very poor judgement on the timing of the throw….more nd more im inching towards rallying for the end of the smith project…but as long as hes in, i hope im wrong.

  24. Joe Gomez says:

    Dosia.. anybody other than Hill or Smith. Let these BEST FRIENDS go fishing in China somewhere.. far away from 49er headquarters..LOL.. Well yeah if you look at Nate and what he did in the pre-season, you can see the kid has talent and you can see some FIRE in him. He has the same velocity as Smith and the most important thing is HE IS ACCURATE and knows how to throw the football BEFORE the receiver makes his initial cut in his route. Something Smith has failed to learn. Smith waits for the WR to get open AND THEN he throws.. and thats why you saw those tipped balls for INT’S. These people blaming the WR’s have no clue about football. Its all about timing and Smith has a hard time throwing that way. How many HIGH balls did you see him throw? Hes been doing that since his rookie season. I doubt they will put Nate Davis until we lose another 3 to 4 games with Smith. So you dont like Colt? He had a monster game yesterday. I like Colt but I also like Clausen and Locker. Anybody other than Smith or Hill!

  25. Joe Gomez says:

    My bad Dosia.. i thought you said you didnt want to see him in a 9er uniform.. he had a MONSTER game Saturday. I think I wouldnt mind having him, Clausen, OR Locker. They are ALL Stud QB’s that will light years better than what we have right now in Alex. 2005 was just Alex and Aaron and we screwed that up. Now theres no way we can screw it up. They are ALL talented QB’s.

  26. Joe Gomez says:

    Hey where did all the Alex Lovers go?! C’mon quit hiding and tell us all how this guy is gonna lead us to the playoffs.. LMFAO!

    • redandgold says:

      I not no alex smith lover, and i never said he was going to take us to the playoffs, but I did say I was going to be the first one come one here and say I was wrong if alex smith didn’t preform… But I think the D had a part in this big L also, but alex did not help

      • Joe Gomez says:

        Ofcourse he didnt help. 3 INT’s and 2 Fumbles? Thats fucking PATHETIC!

        • Joe Gomez says:

          The fact remains: Alex is 0-7 in his last seven starts and Shaun Hill is 7-1 as a starter at home. It just shows how good Alex is because Hill sucks! LOL

  27. Joe Gomez says:

    Wheres Bobby “the Bitch” Boucher? Hes the biggest Alex fan here. Your smart you didnt take that bet. You wouldve been out $1000. So tell me, is Alex still the man? HAHAHAHAHA.

  28. caribulou says:

    Man all you guys are just negative asses. Get a fucking life. I am off this site for good. There is no good back and fourth all it is a bunch of asses insulting each other.

  29. Joe Gomez says:

    Hey caribulou, were you an Alex Lover? Just a serious question. We can talk serious football if you want to, but if your gonna be an Alex lover when he obviously has been stinking it up for how many years now, then im gonna clown you. Hahaha. Niner fans need a REAL QB and I will not stop bashing Alex until this bum is OUT OF HERE!

  30. Joe Gomez says:

    PEOPLE THAT NEED TO GO:

    1) Scott McClueless (Replace with Holmgren?)
    2) Alex Smith (Nate Davis and Draft pick compete next year)
    3) Mark Roman (No comment, hes a bum)
    4) Kentwan Balmer (No comment, hes a bum)
    5) Nate Clements (Too Expensive)
    6) Mike Robinson (Kick returner? NOT!)
    7) Arnaz Battle (Its just time to go, too many WR’s)

    Singletary is a great motivator but I dont think hes a real Head Coach. Having said that, I dont think Jed is going to give up on him yet. We are still far away from Playoff Contention, Sing was trying to sell a LIE. Two biggest problems we have are Scott McClueless and Alex Smith. Those two need to seriouisly get the fuck out of Niner Land. Tired of lousy picks in the draft and tired of lousy picks (INT’S) on the field. Get rid of some overpaid and underachieving players and replace with some STUDS in next year’s draft and thru free agency. We are getting there but if we continue to stick with McClueless and Alex Smith we will NEVER get there.

  31. John says:

    Here we go with all the Smith bashers(sigh). Give this kid some time and its not all his fault. He had bad WR play and O-Line play. Sure he did some things wrong but we have to see how he bounces back. He also did some good things. We must win this Thursday at home NO EXCUSES I dont know if I can take another Loss Seriously!

    • NinerPaul says:

      Alex bounce back????? >>> Thats always been his position……. And from what??? he has never had a winning record……. Bounce back from shit……

      • Joe Gomez says:

        Haha. Man NinerPaul you sound more pissed off at Alex than I am lol where have you been? I’ve been bashing this bust for a very long time.

  32. John says:

    We need to move Dashon Goldson to SS and get rid of Michael Lewis. Too old, expensive, and injury prone. Dashon is a good physical run stopper with solid speed and very promising. Acquire a young FS that can actually COVER the middle of the field and be a presence on this D. Get a CONSISTENT PROVEN pass rusher, not a draft pick PROVEN!!! I want to see how Alex does these final games before I bash him. Nate will not start for the upteenth time!!! Its Alex or someone else not on this roster, simple as that!

  33. Joe Gomez says:

    Hahahaha.. yea were bashing his ass.. cos were tired of losing with him!!!!! 0 and fucking 7 in his last seven fucking starts! What good thing did he do? 3 INT’s and 2 Fumbles! Its absolutely PATHETIC! Give him some time? How many more years do you want us to suffer with this guy? LMFAO! Hes 0 and fucking 7! Hill isnt that good and hes 7-1 at home! Do you see how lousy this guy is? NO ACCURACY, NO LEADERSHIP, THROWS WAY TOO LATE, SAME MISTAKES SINCE 2 THOUSAND FUCKING FIVE! HE ISNT IMPROVING! Listen John, I know you like this kid, but its time to really really really turn the fucking page…..

  34. Terry says:

    When replacing Steve DeBerg with Joe Montana Bill Walsh was asked why he did it!
    Walsh said: “Steve DeBerg plays just good enough to lose.”

  35. Terry says:

    Hahaha.. Bill Walsh was a genius Terry, he knows winners. Il say it again for all these Alex Lovers: Alex is ZERO and FUCKING SEVEN in his last seven starts… DO I NEED TO SAY MORE?

  36. 9erLvr says:

    I agree Alex Smith just does enough to lose a game. Too many errors. Lets find out what Nate has. I dont see us going anywhere this year with the way AZ is playing.

  37. Johnson says:

    Alex has had his chances. Hes proving that he hasnt improved enough to be our starting QB. Atleast Hill has a winning record. I dont like either of them but I guess I would rather go with the guy who wins more. Maybe it is time to see Nate.

  38. RednGold says:

    Shaun Hill=washed up journeyman. Alex Smith=bust #1 draft pick…the kid stares down his receivers, doesn’t scan the field well, holds the ball to low….he’s shown 0 ability to be the 49ers QB now or, in the future….he’s a choke artist too. Ever see Brodie, Montana or, Young perform to this level after 5 years in the league? What did they have in common?? They were winners and had the ability to “pull it off.” Let’s be realistic, we’re 3-5 and we know, both Hill and Smith are not going to help our offense grow….we need a new QB (and I’m not a rush to snap judgement dude either) and we need to give Nate a chance. We have 8 games remaining, he’s watched 1/2 the season from the sidelines. He’s built like Big Ben, has a cannon for an arm and nothing but a high upside. Start building around Nate now and quit screwing around with Hill or Smith. I’ve played college ball and watched the 49ers for 45+ years; anyone who knows the game, can see Hill and Smith are not winning QB’s….despite our lines problems…basic fundamentals like throwing the ball away, not staring at a receiver; THESE GUYS DON’T PERFORM….Smith’s a choke artist…See want you got with Nate, Coach Singletary and that will give you a leg up going into next years draft and those 2 #1’s.

  39. RednGold says:

    Smith constantly threw into 2-3 man coverage or, when a defender was draped all over a receiver…he has inconsistent “touch” and stares at his primary receiver…he looks at 1-2 receivers typically and makes it easy for the DB’s to key on his targets….this is basic QB fundamentals and Smith doesn’t have it. He’s not a winning NFL QB, despite how much we all want him to succeed and unfortunately, despite the 49ers large investment. He’s a bust.

  40. Joe Gomez says:

    Ive been saying he was a BUST for a long time.. people thought I was crazy… Hahahaha. Hmmmm… I wonder where all these people are now? C’mon guys, tell us how great Alex is and how hes gonna lead us to the promiseland! LMFAO!

  41. Randy says:

    Alex Smith = 4 turnovers at home against a 1-6 team with the 32nd ranked passing defense. Sing outta pull out his “I want winners” speech again, cause Alex sucks and IS the reason we lost today. Nuff said.

    Calling Nate Davis!!!!!

    • NinerPaul says:

      Funny how Sing in his post game comments said “We have a chance if we take away the stupid stuff thats killing ourselves………” I’m wondering if he mean’s Alex???????/

      • Joe Gomez says:

        In his post game comments he said he thought Alex did well but they need to quit turning the ball over. NO SHIT SING! LMFAO! Now I see why they make fun of him on David Letterman.

  42. Vienners says:

    All the week I come here and read how Alex Smith is changed. Now you know, why we fans call him the biggest bust in the history of NFL.

    At least we know that Alex Smith is no Rich Ganon. HE WAS PATHETIC.

    Do you guys seriously think S. Hill would have done worse than this guy?

    Don’t give me the damn excuses how the OL didn’t blocking or somehow it’s all receivers fault. I was there and saw Alex Smith. He is nothing but Garbage.

    I don’t really give a damn what anyone says he is not the savior. Not even qualified as a backup .

    We are just a bad football team and as a season ticket holder I am pissed and sad at the same time.

    • NinerPaul says:

      At least Hill went in and contributed in his first game this year against AZ, the reigning NFC champs, in AZ, who is looking pretty good this year and came out with a win and also did pretty good in the next 3 games after that. And Alex cant even beat a 1 and 6 team and to boot had a fucking pathetic game …….. Sing needs to re-evaluate things seriously …… Alex 2 bad games now…. Hill had 1 and a half bad games, (ATL and the start of the texans game) and got pulled so WTF??????

      • Niner Pundit says:

        Hold on a second. 2 bad games? I’ll give his poor performance today, but he didn’t have a bad game against the Colts.

        And what does it say about Hill that he can’t keep his starting job over Smith. And Hill had more than 1 and a half bad game. Did you not see his throws. He can’t throw, Alex can’t really either, but Hill has a noodle arm and his numbers sucked. It was obvious that teams figured him out and he was regressing, he wasn’t getting better, he was getting worse.

        • Joe Gomez says:

          I agree, they BOTH suck. But to give Hill credit he is 7-1 at home atleast while Alex is 0-7 his last 7 freakin starts. Not to say Hill is any good, im just saying we have a much better record with him. No Alex didnt have a horrible game against the Colts, but on that last crucial drive where we couldnt afford ANY mistakes, he overthrew his targets twice in a row which do doubt killed any chances of us ever tying the game. Having said that, I HATE both QB’s and cant understand why Sing and company cant see that these 2 QB’s are so medicore and mediocre doesnt cut it in the NFL. It might work in college or the CFL but it doesnt work if you want to win and go deep in the playoffs in the NFL. Ive had it with both QB’s especially with Alex. Weve stucked with this bum way too long, way longer than Hill, its time to see what the rookie can do. Unless Sing wants to be stubborn and end up 6-10 or another 7-9 season behind Alex as our starter.

          • NinerPaul says:

            If Hill had the same colts game people would dog him more than Alex thats the truth >> That game we were 2 for 10 on third down conversions and Alex at least met his quota of one pick…..

    Lots of frustration getting vented on the blog this evening. To add some more:

    I think the team is in a horrible situation. Despite Sing’s denials, Smith lost this game for us. Even so, to be fair, Sing will give him more games to prove himself–perhaps the whole rest of the season, unless he persists in theJTO imitation, in which case Sing will go back to Shaun Hill.

    Either way, I have zero faith that we have the guy to lead SF to the promised land. I like Hill, but he is really just a good backup due to limited arm. Smith has the arm, but doesn’t seem to have the the mental makeup of a winning QB. And I have a strong feeling that he will never develop this. If I am right, we will end up at the end of the season just about where we were a year ago: With nuthin but a backup QB.

    Crazy as it may seem, I hope Nate Davis gets some playing time soon. We need to know whether he has a future, and the way this season is going, there is no reason not to find out now.

    What a mess.

    • NinerPaul says:

      I think there are two options left >>>> Hill in the Higher attempts, spread, style of offense that he did better in last year >> Like I said QB rating was better, Yards per game was more than 60 yards better, and wins of coarse…… Or put in Davis to see what he can do? But the still need to spread the ball around.

      • Niner Pundit says:

        There is a difference. Raye is no Martz. Martz can make anyone look good…yes even Hill. Only reason Hill looked remotely decent last year was because of Martz. Take away Martz and Hill is dogshit.

        • NinerPaul says:

          Ohhhh really???? What about 07′ whoever was the OC……Which wasn’t Martz >>> Hill had 5 TD’s, 1 Int in three games and 101.3 passer rating >>> Even higher than what he had with Martz which was a respectable 87.5 >> Ohhhh Yeah!!!! and 2 Wins and 0 losses that year!!! Alex cant even win against a 1 and 6 team. So the spread offense with Hill and a higher number of attempts. Has this been done this year “as a game plan” the answer is NO! Gee lets see what did work…… Ohh fuck…… Hill with the spread offense and a higher number of attempts. More Facts: Alex had 45 attempts this last game… Hill was lucky to get that many attempts in 2 fuckin game’s….. Averging 28.8 attempts a game… You get it…..

          • Joe Gomez says:

            Good point NinerPaul, Shaun indeed has a weak arm, but he didnt get the plays called to allow him to throw much either. Alex has a strong arm, but man his throws are so off target, he should just hand off for the rest of the season..lol

  44. Joe Gomez says:

    LOL.. Pundit if Hill is dogshit than Alex is horseshit mixed with a little catshit and birdshit. Yea, Alex is that much worse. I give Hill a little more respect because went 7-1 at Candlestick while Mr. Alex Shit has gone 0-7 his last 7 starts. It all comes down to winning. Even with his strong arm, if he isnt accurate enough it doesnt matter. Shaun Hill’s arm is weak but atleast he throws less INT’s than Alex and wins a few games for us. Your right though they are both SHIT. Lets see what Nate can do! If hes shit too than its time to bring in one of these guys….

    LOCKER – MCCOY – CLAUSEN

  45. Joe Gomez says:

    Alex has a nice strong spiral I gotta hand it to him. It’s pretty! He actually delivers and hits his receivers (SOMETIMES). His biggest problem? TURNOVERS! Sounds like another guy who threw a hard spiral;

    J. T. O.

    I wonder where he is now. Oh that’s right, HOLDING A CLIPBOARD!
    Anybody got an extra one for Alex?

  46. Longtime49erFan says:

    It is clear that neither Smith or Hill can take this team where it needs to go. It is definately time for us to see what nate can do. We need to evaluate this to determine if we need to spend those number ones on a quarterback. It doesnt make sense to end the season and not know if he could be the guy. If nate can do the job, we can use the 2 first round picks on the offensive line, if he can’t then we should get colt mccoy.

  47. Indiana Jim says:

    Three picks this season off tipped balls.

    64% passing on the season.

    There’s a lot more football to be played.

    • Joe Gomez says:

      4 picks and 2 fumbles. Get it right. They were not all tipped and the ones that were tipped were terrible passes! You don’t throw into coverage with the DB draped over the WR’s back and you don’t late! Alex Smith sucks so quit defending his sorry ass! He’s 0-7 his last 7 starts! LMFAO! You wana see more of that? You must love sorry ass QB play.

  48. Joe Gomez says:

    Hey Longtime, Clausen or Locker would be nice too if Colt is gone already. Plenty of options at QB. Nate might be the man but why not jus grab one anyway and have them compete against each other.

    • NinerPaul says:

      Can we draft Nick Montana Yet??? ….. Ha ha just a thought?? Have you seen this kid on You Tube …… Look him up…. Fuckin Wow!!!!! He’s committed to Washington by the way….

      • Joe Gomez says:

        I thought Joe Cool’s son played for Notre Dame?

        • NinerPaul says:

          Thats the older brother >> The younger brother Nick is a stud >> He plays at Oaks Christian as a senior. Thats the high school where Jimmy Clausen came from….. Its one of the recruiting private schools in So Cal …… Like De La Salle ……

  49. John says:

    Where were all of you people (or most of you) when Alex played vs HOU and IND?? Thats what pisses me off about our fanbase its really unbelievable how “whiny” some people are. Now I can understand why people call us the 40whiners. Alex still has the most potential to play well like his last couple games and I said it once I will say it again, dont put this WHOLE loss on his shoulders. A beast named “Chris Johnson” played today so thats the bad news. Man that kid is unbelievably talented!!!

    • NinerPaul says:

      4 turnover by Alex huh……. What game were you watching… I don’t thinkeven JTO had a 4 turnover game…..

  50. John says:

    Wow Joe, it really seems that you hate this kids so much, its getting personally. Chill man and BTW it was 3 Picks, not 4. Anyways, He will be the starter for the rest of season because he is easily our best option over Noodle Arm and the 5th round draft pick. If Alex finishes strong, I still see him the starter next year without a doubt. COME ON ALEX KEEP THIS JOB IT ALL STARTS THURSDAY VS BEARS ON NATIONAL TELEVISION!!!!
