So after watching 3 quarters of Smith playing this preseason I've come to the conclusion that he is one damn good QB. Now you may chuckle... or even laugh at this statement as it seems it may be to early to come upon such a conclusinon however his intelligence and decision making has been so incredible. It started near the end of last year but it has fully blossomed now that he has the offensive talent to compete at a higher level. Every pass this preseason has been on target besides i want to say 1 or 2. I'm not talking about accurate as in giving the WR a good chance of catching the ball I'm talking about pin point Peyton Manning accurate. Now lets not jump the gun here he's no Manning... yet, but he has all the tools to be a potential pro bowl QB this year and for many years to come. Mind you this is all w/out Gore his all pro running back! His college coach Urban Meyer(sp?) even said that he(Smith) would be bad out the gate but that after 2-3 seasons he would be an excellent QB. This would be because he's not the greatest athlete out there but his intelligence is so good after learning the game for a few years he would be able to disect defenses with ease. Now being a long time member here I've gone thru his first season and all the horrible comments made but I think people not only here but throughout the league are finally seeing why the 49ers took him #1 overall. If you haven't seen his play this year I'd say go to nfl.com and look under his 2 games so far and take a look for yourselves.
... really excited about this year and I thought he def. earned his own thread after the 1st year and a half of bashing that he took on these boards.
