Im sure when defensive coordinators have the 49ers coming up next week, they are spending all their time trying to figure out how to stop the laser rocket arm of alex smith, not how to stop frank gore
I tend to not give team stats a lot of credence after 5 weeks... I use my eyes... the 49ers run the ball very, very well
4 ypc.
49ers 12th with 117 yards per game rushing. yeah it's funny how one game can swing those team stats so much isnt it? which is why i said 5 weeks of them isnt worth much. extreme example, but iirc the top 2 qbs in the nfl after week 1 were tom brady...and chad henne.
look, clearly youre a 49ers fan. you want alex smith to get all kinds of love. but it's not going to happen after 5 weeks of decent-to-ok play, when he has had 5 or whatever years of terrible play. insinuating he is a better qb than philip rivers, or even in the same discussion, because he has thrown more td passes is silly at this point.
and yeah i stand by frank gore being the #1 focus for opposing defenses, which is going to give you lots of opportunities to throw.
i think the 49ers win outright this weekend, so good luck and all that.
