This team is not a playoff team btw....so don't be concerned with whether we make it this year or not. This team still needs another year and an additional infusion of talent at 2-3 positions.
At the very least though....Alex should be starting though, he showed that today, and I think the spread offense suits him well...we should go with something that fits our personnel better rather than try to force an identity that we can't really match.
Forget smashmouth...and play to our strengths. With Crabs out there, and Smith having at least a legit NFL arm, a wide open set works for us.
Next week is also going to be ugly....so don't call for Smith's head if we lose badly on that one. Our defense has no chance against Peyton.
This team WILL make the playoffs with Alex Smith starting. That is guaranDAMNteed. I will put money on it.
