Vernon Davis did not do too bad getting a career type season catching balls from this questionable QB. Alex Smith could be improving you know. The niners could be a real threat next season if the passing game can keep improving to make their offense more rounded.
Alex Smith is improving but he is still far below what he should be considering he was the number one overall pick. The 49ers obviously made the wrong choice and i'm pretty thankful that they chose Alex Smith instead of Aaron Rodgers.
They are a solid team and i fully expect them to make the play-offs next year since they are in the worst division in the NFL now Arizona have lost Warner. I could see them winning the division at around 8-8.

Jamie Dukes said he would be astonished and amazed if Tebow went 1st round. For me people are focussing way to much on Tebows weaknesses and not enough on his positives. Bradford, McCoy, Clausen, Pike and Tebow all have flaws/weaknesses/injury doubts. If Tebow was one of the best college players of all time he must have some upside to him. I know good college play doesnt always translate into good play at the NFL level. Saying this iam sure Tebow will work on the technicals enough before the combine for 1 or 2 teams to be seriously interested in taking him first round come draft time.
I think he will go to the Jags in round 1 as i've said but in terms of a player i wouldn't touch him before round 3. I'm sure he fumbled something like 5 of 6 of the first snaps he took at the senior bowl. To have such a basic problem is worrying. The guy is a leader and i've no doubt he will work hard to make it but right now he isn't ready. His accuracy is average, he won't be able to run as much in the NFL, he can't take snaps, he hasn't had to make many pre-snap reads and played exclusivley in the shotgun. I really hope he makes it because he is a great character but i don't think he'll ever be a great QB.
Bradford has the most concerns over his injuries and it baffles me how a guy who has suffered a number of shoulder injuries (and operations) can be rated as highly and above Clausen. He also did come from a somewhat spread offence.
