Brown getting banged up seems to alter people’s perception of reality. And goldson would have been able to see brown going for the ball better than brown could have seen goldson. They were both looking back at the ball and since goldson was behind,...

Miami, Washington, Seattle, Cleveland, Arizona and San Francisco. Of these teams, I think the Jets and 49ers would have the best chances to make it to the Super Bowl with Manning at the helm, given their defenses. However, there is no way the 49ers are...

No, no I don't. That's not why I play, that's not why I ever played. I don't have anything to say.
The 49ers have played extremely well all year. They have rushed the ball, have played outstanding defense and their quarterback (Alex Smith) came up with huge plays in the game to help his team win. We are looking forward to digging in and preparing for the 49ers
As soon as I saw ]the coverage]
Can Alex Smith and the 49ers offense score enough points to win?
If the window was there, I was going to cut it loose
I sent [offensive tackle] Joe Staley a text, I said, ‘Nice wheels on the cut block you had for [quarterback] Alex Smith when he scored [on the touchdown run].’ Things like that
I knew it was going to be a bang-bang play and that you were going to have to get it in there ... It wasn't going to be a lob ball.
Alex Smith is a giant steaming pile of crap who can't lead the 49ers from behind.
Embattled quarterback Alex Smith had to wait almost seven years, but he's finally playing like a first-round draft pick, and he out Drew Brees-ed Drew Brees during the final four minutes of Saturday's Divisional game
He got a little emotional on us on offense and got after us a little bit ... Great to see him come out in the second half and really just stay patient.
He is not Joe Montana. He is not Steve Young. But he is good enough to have the San Francisco 49ers where they haven't been since the 1997 playoffs, which means maybe it's time to re-evaluate Alex Smith. Because without him the 49ers aren't where they are now, and where they are is in their first NFC Ch...
Being a San Francisco guy, I've seen the ups and downs in the past with Alex Smith. Not only am I, but the city of San Francisco is proud of what happened. His success is leading us to the next level each week.
And what Jim has done with the 49ers is really remarkable, because people didn't think this was a good team... he has a quarterback who people have written off as a bust. But Jim Harbaugh has gotten everything he can out of Alex Smith. He's a very smart coach, and a very good inspirer of men.
Jim Harbaugh talked about quarterback play, and he has done a great job getting the best out of Alex Smith, giving him these throws that he is confident he can make.
Former Ute Alex Smith leading the 49ers in a great season
Alex Smith is very athletic, very smart, thinks well on his feet, very accurate ... All the things that go into being a quarterback. Very poised, very good communicator, very smart, can learn something cold after one explanation and can transfer that from the meeting room to the field.
