The 49ers keep refusing to believe that Alex Smith is a bust. Luckily they still have a loyal fan base who buys 49ers tickets. Smith has gotten chance after chance after chance to prove his worth. Unlike someone like Akili Smith, Alex Smith is still good enough to be in the league. However, even though he has gotten so much money from San Fransisco, it is time to give up. He is not going to amount to a quality starting quarterback. Maybe one day the 49ers will find one.

Many NFL observers are declaring this year’s 49ers team to be one of the best in recent memory. Analysts have said they underachieved last year with their 8-8 record. Their defense is poised to be one of the best in the league, headlined by perennial Pro Bowl linebacker Patrick Willis. He is an absolute hoss on that defense, which also includes star corner Nate Clements and linebacker Takeo Spikes. Their defense allowed the fourth lowest points in the league last year. Their offense, on the other hand, is what holds them back. Yes, they have a keeper at tight end in Vernon Davis and a potential Pro Bowl receiver in Michael Crabtree. Yes, they have the man-beast Frank Gore anchoring their running game. But beyond that, what is there? Gore has had a history with injuries and his backup is Glen Coffee. Meh. The Niners have acquired Ted Ginn Jr. from the Dolphins, but he is a special teams guy and not much else. Then there is always the Alex Smith conundrum at quarterback. The guy has shown little to no improvement in his playing career. The Niners have insisted he is their frachise QB, but he’s not showing he wants that title. The one thing I feel really good about regarding this team is head coach Mike Singletary. He is one of the best coaches in football. He will straighten out any player that makes a mistake or doesn’t execute. Overall, I see the 49ers finishing 9-7 this year, one win better than last year. One ESPN personality said they could go 11-5, but that’s just absurd given their quarterback situation especially.

If there were any doubts about the type of offense Mike Singletary and the 49ers will run this season, they were swept away – no, stomped away – Thursday evening. That’s 654 pounds of power-blocking offensive linemen added in less than an hour. Davis will line up at right tackle and Iupati at left guard, the position he played with the Vandals. Singletary cautioned that both players might not start in Week 1 – Davis is one of the youngest players in the draft at age 20 – but he made it clear he expected both to start at some point this season. After Joe Staley hurt his knee last month, the 49ers offensive lineman circled Dec. 14 on his calendar. That’s the date the Arizona Cardinals visit Candlestick Park for a “Monday Night Football” game. Staley remains on schedule to be back. And the game remains a doozy. “Oh, heck, yeah,” Staley said Monday. “It’s going to be an awesome game.” In the least, it bought them another week to dream. If the 49ers win in Seattle (4-7) and the Cardinals lose to Minnesota (10-1) on Sunday, the 49ers would trail by only one in the NFC West race heading into that Monday nighter. Wishful thinking? Maybe. But for the 49ers, it sure beats getting ready for the draft. “It’s all in front of us,” coach Mike Singletary said. “Everything we want is in front of us.” San Francisco 49ers Mens Apparel and other 49ers Apparel
37MB6QC483HD Before choosing the 49ers’ starting quarterback for next week, coach Mike Singletary said he needed to review the game film of the 24-21 loss to the Houston Texans. Coming off the bench at halftime Sunday, Smith nearly rallied the 49ers from a 21-point deficit, taking jumper cables to an offensive engine that had long looked kaput. He completed 15 of 22 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns. In other words, Smith needed only one half to approach Shaun Hill’s best yardage total of the season (209 yards on Sept. 13). He established an immediate rapport with Vernon Davis, who caught all three touchdown passes, and Michael Crabtree, who had five catches for 56 yards in his NFL debut.

Maybe the kid was right. Maybe that 71-day holdout could have been averted all along. Crabtree made his pro debut for the 49ers in Sunday’s 24-21 loss to the Houston Texans, and the kid didn’t look like much of a rookie.
