Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread

I know I sound like a broken record, but the Texans (like the Falcons, Saints, and Colts) can put a lot of points on the board.

Who’s ready to see Smith lose another shootout? Moses publicly said it. The offense needs to start carrying their weight and putting points on the board. The team cannot continue to rely on the defense.

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread

Houston is 17th in points per game, not in the same conversation as New Orleans or Atlanta (both top 10).

The Bruce Allen apology line starts here: Alex Smith is, indeed, a winner

Bruce Allen is about as much an idiot as Cerrato was. Smith doesn’t have this team at 6-3. AP and the defense does

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread

The D must be doing a heck of a job to compensate for the lack of points on offense right? Oh shit that's right, the D is overrated and not even that good, right? What am I thinking.

Homecoming / Houston Thread

Ok, here’s a simple question for the Smith supporters. Is he worth a third round draft pick, Fuller, and 5 years $111 Million?

Fuck no he isn’t!!

If anyone thinks colt McCoy couldn’t have Gotten this offense to perform at a much higher level then they’re just straight fooling themselves

AP And the defense are the reasons were six and three. Alex Smith hasn’t done shit to help us with that record

Lack of offensive errors, excellent special teams and a defense that allows few points is the reason for our W's. Perhaps another QB like McCoy could have competed better in our L's. But I don't anyone could improve on the lack of offense mistakes to claw out 6 wins with an average offense roster.

I still advicate playing Smith until we are 2 scores down until we have a 2 score lead, then put Smith back in. No loss situation

Like it has been said, Smith hasnt turned the ball over and generally we have been leading in time of possession. He's not prolific, but he clearly can lead the offense. It also seems like he and Doctson/Harris are starting to develop a little rhythm. So yes I am fine with what the trade value was. Of course if they had given us Majones I would have been ok with that.

Back to Smith, if he can get even a little more productive it will open the line for AP.

As for the fact we are winning with AP and defense, thats the funniest complaint ever.

Skins fans have been screaming for Gruden to focus on the run and improve the defense against the run. We do it, and have a qb who can win with that plan, and its not enough.

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread

I’m convinced now that some people miss the days of having a QB that could put up pretty numbers even if it meant losing 28-24 vs winning 16-3.

Smith’s contribution has been lack of turnovers and winning the field position battle. The +11 turnover ratio is one of the main reasons we’re 6-3 along with the D, AP, and special teams.

Ok but you could have got Colt to do what Smith is doing. You didn't need to extend him, give him a boat load of money and basically be married to him. Plus you gave away one of your better players who we really need right now. That was done partly to appease the fanbase for fucking up on Cousins. They couldn't sell Colt to the fans.

I think in this day and age everyone is so QB focused it’s easy to forget there are other formulas for success that don’t revolve around having a stud QB.

Yeah CR it’s funny how winning with D and the running game is somehow a bad thing.
