VBSJ;2260651; said:You'd think he'd know his position when the 49ers were actively pursuing Peyton Manning last offseason...and then signing him (Smith) to an extension when Manning signed with Denver.

NFBuck;2260686; said:He looks pretty damned impressive. Crisp, accurate, and the offense is much more dynamic with him under center.
3074326;2260698; said:Alex Smith has a passer rating of 104.1. Third in the NFL. So this offense is good for QB efficiency when they're winning. This is what we're seeing right now.
NFBuck;2260704; said:I agree, but I question whether Smith could do this against the Bears. Kaepernick's arm strength is worlds different, and he threaded a beauty of a deep ball to Kyle Williams. Smith is a game manager, Kaepernick could be a game changer.
...but, yeah, it's only one game. I probably shouldn't label him the righty Steve Young just yet.
