zCommander Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I can now finally get behind Alex.... and losing the rest of the games so we can get a franchise QB next year. That is how I feel right now.  Realistically we will make the playoffs this year so the torture of Alex will continue to next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Alex looked mediocre tonight, but he looked like his normal type self until the game was really out of contention and was asked to be a QB that he isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Mediocre is a complement. I am with what Cooley was saying on the broadcast, he played very poorly. At one point Cooley thought he should he benched. He was far though from the only one who played bad tonight.  What upset me the most about his play was the two floaters to Peterson and Thompson which he in effect got both of them hurt. Awful.  Having said that, quarterbacks can have bad games. That's arguably two of them now. However, I think he deserves a larger sample size to see if he bounces back. It's just 4 games.  Peterson IMO is their best player on offense so when he isn't humming it effects the whole offense, see this game and the Colts game.

JSSkinz Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 This is really bad if you want the team to do well or its really good if you want Bruce gone.  Alex is like a notch above JAG and we're gonna be in trouble with managing the cap if he doesn't get it together and forces us to cut bait.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed some of the 1st and 3rd quarters. Did he get hurt? I saw Bibbs on running plays, and of course CT getting lit up at the goal line.

Voice_of_Reason Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I’m going to keep harping on this, but I really think, even with the way the opener went, Alex and Jay could have used a lot more work together in game situations in the preseason.  Playcaller/QB chemistry takes time to develop and I think both of them could have benefited greatly from having a lot more plays under their belts when the results didnÂ’t matter.

Berggy9598 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Had a bad game, but when your defense gives up touchdowns in what was it 6 out of 8 drives (one ended in a turnover, one ended because the clock mercifully expired) and the opposing team doesn't punt a single time, you need a first ballot hall of famer at QB to even have a chance to win the game.

Maybe, but I don't see what that would have to do with Alex accuracy which was pathetic most of tonight. There's really nothing can do about that, especially if one game he's lighting people up, then next he can't hit the broad side of a barn. Redskins flip a coin before they come out the tunnel on which one shows up every game, the only person that can do something about that is Jay.

I think Alex is still figuring out Jays offense and he’s late to a lot of things and that’s making him inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSSkinz Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I really don't think Alex played any differently tonight than he did in games 1-3 besides the interception, the difference is we could run the ball and didn't give up explosive plays on defense in the other 3 games including the Colts loss.  I'm trying to be totally honest in what I've seen this year. So far the offense has been dreadful in 12 out of 16 quarters, In those quarters I've seen a QB who doesn't see the field, looks for the bailout and doesn't seem comfortable in the pocket(O line isn't helping).  We have enough data from this season to start calling it what it is, well see if he can get it together.

Spot on.  I haven’t really been impressed with Alex even in the wins.  But tonight he was woefully inaccurate, late and had happy feet.  That interception was god awful, like John Beck style.  I didn’t think he could play that bad.  This is hyperbole, but it would seem as if he rarely gets his read past the line of scrimmage.   One can can only hope this is growing pains in Grudens offense.

It's pretty obvious that he isn't really comfortable with Reed yet, and he is our best receiver. But I also don't think he's all that comfortable with the offense either. And to add to it, having to play catch up is not Alex's strength.  Right now, we really need to be able to keep things close and run the ball effectively. Jay needs to do a better job with play calling as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyst Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The only way you win with a guy like Alex Smith at QB is if your team is loaded on offense and stacked on defense. Â We are neither of those things and wonÂ’t be during his tenure here. This is why his signing at that price was another failed decision by the loony toons running the show. Â It wouldnÂ’t hurt so bad if we had drafted a young guy to replace him, but we donÂ’t. McCoy only makes sense as a backup if your starter is elite or if you need a veteran presence behind a young QB. What we have is two old, mediocre-at-Â best QBs.

Alexa Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Never been a Alex Smith fan. Can not believe they let a better QB walk out the door and replaced him w/ the expert of check downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markmills67 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Sorry to repeat this again fellow Skin's, but I've said all along that we should have gone with McCoy this year and then drafted a QB in the 1st round in 2019. 18m different between Smith and McCoy in salary cap and what do you get at the end of 2018 season 2 more wins tops. 18m this year gets us a 1st class WR and LG, but don't worry we've got Lauvao and Doctson so no need to worry.
