Leader in Yards per reception?



Adrian Peterson 19.4 YPC.



That is a big fucking problem



That is unbelievable. Disgusting and unbelievable.

All this fuss over a QB who went 26-30-1 here.

As usual after a loss too much focus on the QB in general.

Granted Smith did not play well at all, but the breakdowns on D and with the OL were more of a concern to me.

I still think if they made a legit first offer that said "we value you" we could be looking at a different scenario here. But then again, they knew him firsthand so obviously they didn't think he was worth top dollar.

Either way, he reps the Vikings now so I don't give a shit.

Somebody needs to ball tap Jay Gruden and tell him for being a qb whisperer he really hasn't worked his magic on Alex Smith yet. All that "we need to put Smith in better positions to make plays" talk tells me they were really unprepared for last week. How do you make the 30th ranked pass defense look good?

It took Cousins a while to get going in this offense when he became the starter. The “you like that” game was week 7 in 2015, so these things can take some time.

Plenty of big play chances were there for Smith, he just wasn’t seeing things quickly enough.

That int was absolutely terrible too. As bad as any you-know-who threw.

Also moot point but this coaching staff doesn't have the years (and Smith doesn't either) it will take him to truly get comfortable here.

I expect Smith to be a bridge to our next long term qb. Can we afford to wait another year or two for Smith to settle in? No. If this will be a season of growing pains for Smith next year will be too because he will have a new coaching staff to learn from.

That is unbelievable. Disgusting and unbelievable.

Saw the passing tape from last night, Alex was as bad as we saw on TV. The pass to peterson that almost killed his knees, he had 4 secs to throw or run and he checked it down. On the INT, he moved away from pressure and made a play you would expect a rookie to make, that INT was as bad as Kirk's infamous kneel down.

He has to be better going forward or we won't win many more games.

Well if all the focus shouldn’t be on the quarterback alone, than wins n losses shouldn’t define one either.
Besides Jay is the real problem and we all know it. Jay and Bruce.

Easy to blame the coaches in blowout losses but i never expected to see so many blown coverages by the DBs and the horrendous under-thrown/overthrown balls by Smith.

No amount of coaching could have made up for the player mistakes on the top 5 most important plays/mistakes.

The blown coverages have been ridiculous all season, at some point it has to fall on the players to get it cleaned up

I tend to agree. I understood the theory that drafting a QB this year would not have been a good idea for the locker room. If he is this bad 3/4 into the season, this year will be a bust, and Jay will be gone. A new coach will likely want to draft a QB somehow. At that point, Alex will have no trade value, he will have to accept the role as mentor again whether he likes it or not. I'd expect he'd be a professional about it as he always has. He'll likely get better with the team and help turn things around as he helps get a rookie ready for a couple years.

Based on that contract, we stuck with Alex Smith for this year and the next 2 for sure.

We better get a running game quick folks. I told you this when we got him and then gave him that retarded extension
