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.

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.

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

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

Going into the 2019 draft, QB is the number one priority. End of discussion.

I don't think it will be for Doug , OL is still a priority and as is Pass rusher.

CB in all reality. OLB/MLB and OG next.

the kid from Georgia..Baker? That guy looks like real deal at CB. The kid from LSU is a first round pick too.

But Pass Rusher is most def in the discussion, but Todd Bowles will probably want to run a 4-3...so we got to think about that too.

skinsfan69 · 10-10-2018, 10:25 AM

It all starts w/ the QB. I just can't go on with 3 more years of Alex Smith. We literally have zero chance of getting to a SB w/ him.

Skins are dead last in WR yardage no surprise and top for RB

Says we have a checkdown king to me. Tom Brady doesn't like throwing to his WRs either.

Guys not getting open enough is an issue as well, but Alex has never really thrown to Wrs all that much historically.

They are getting open, he's not seeing them or waiting to late.

Some plays yes but others no, one issue is we dont have a possession guy that he trust, another is he doesn't like to throw a WR open meaning a High turnover worthy play. We have to realize that this is what the offense will be like for at least the next year (2019), unless we get a WR like Tyreke Hill and that is not likely.

Can we add a 5th choice for all of the above in the poll. What kills me the most about this loss aside from any individual or position group, is the the fact that we had 2 weeks and a weekend to prepare for this game.

I agree that the cards seemed stacked against us from the onset. The fans were so into the game and ya can’t blame them and any team would draw off of that raising their ability to play. We knew it wasn’t going to be an easy win, but I could have never imagined the end result. I’m not a big believer in the coulda shoulda woulda, but I’m starting to wonder if we hadn’t have gotten those HUGE 3rd down penalties and if AP would have followed his blocks and we got off to a nice start. Would it have changed the outcome as far as the W/L colomn.

I’ll be interested to see how the coaching staff and players alike do to bounce back. This game will be so telling of if this team has the ability to even break 500 or not. Fingers crossed.
