I'm well aware of the entire Meyer's quote and it turned out to be correct no matter what. Smith being "non-functional" or "non-functional until he has a complete grasp of a system" is the same thing so stop splitting hairs. The point is he was said to be non-functional and ended up being largely NON-FUNCTIONAL so thank you Urban Meyer for that valuable insight. He obviously knew his qb very well.

Smith displayed many of his infamous shortcomings before he got injured and, more recently, displayed his continued poor touch on the ball in a video of one of his March 2009 practice sessions that was posted here a few months ago. He was over-throwing or throwing to the wrong shoulder of the WRs - as usual. How much more evidence do you need?

Am I to believe that he is somehow going to come out 3 months later guns blazing and be a completely different and totally transformed qb?? Hey let's all hope so but come on, it's enough already. I'm personally waving the white flag of surrender here.

Pretty sure that no one really cares what YOU think or what you are waving around at this point. Don't you get that? Don't you get that no matter how much you stomp your feet, fold your arms across your chest, and pout... it won't change a damn thing to the plans that McC and Sing will bring forth? Get with the program or pack your bags, but this incessant nonsense that you know so much better than those in charge is played out... and only makes you look like a... whoa... better stop there... You have a good day now, fellow... 9er?... fan.

Wow, somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Certainly didn't take much to ruffle your feathers. Don't be so negative. That's what everybody is always telling me.

Can you provide a [b]link to this video of which you speak?[/b]

Or is this like the information you mentioned in your previous posts about Singletary ripping into the OL: "made up" to use your words? Where's the LINK to that information????

Again, for you, NO. You'll never be receiving any links from me so don't try to be my friend when you want something. Besides, my knowledge is the only "link" you need. I'm obviously aware of a few more things than you are but that doesn't mean I have to provide proof. I'm sure many members saw the same video here that I did so ask around. I'm sure you'll come across somebody willing to provide you with the link.

And since I'm quite certain that the above bolded is your main intention in posting here...the games ends now.

Let's get the thread back on topic please.

Thanks.

...back to topic.

The more I revert back to Alex in 2006 and the start of 2007, I have some assemblence of history to equate a positive outlook because of his positive progression in off season's practice. Imagine, he did enough to warrant a competition on the eve of TC 2009. On the other hand, Hill, Mr. Kick Azz, will not give up without a fight with all his being...just think about his run for a first against AZ.

Therefore, I expect a very heated competition. Cool. Seriously, because it will only bring out the best in them. IMO, most are underestimating what both these QBs can do in Raye's offense. Given what Alex has endured and given what Hill has accomplished, both will provide us with some passionate plays for sure.

IMO, I expect Alex to use his mobility and his accurate down field throwing to separate himself from Hill. Hill will win in the short routes, but Alex will do well enough to keep up with him. It is the mid-field to deep routes that will allow Alex to show off his abilities. The evidence was in these last OTAs and minis. He earned the opportunity to compete.

I am sure everyone agrees that the pre-season games mean a great deal because we will see Alex perform live since 2007 (...wow, it's really been two years) to witness his success or defeat. He has to prove he's got enough to beat Hill and it won't be easy.

Again, I believe that we win as a fan base no matter who wins. There is no denying the heart these two have. There is no denying they want the best for the team. There is no denying that we benefit from all points of view whether you vehemently want Alex or Hill.

I just prefer the conjunction and.
