Alex Smith Had Some Choice Words About Mr. Newton.

What a fu*kstick

And while I won't commit to this point of view, the argument could convincingly be made that SF was so successful last year in spite of Alex Smith.

that argument is even less convincing than the argument that Cam's stats didn't mean a thing... You may argue that Smith did not contribute *much*, but winning in spite of him implies something very different.

He had a good point, but he used an awful example because his rationale for using us was flawed. Because of that, his quote has lost its meaning, basically.

He is right that raw yardage totals mean nothing at all, but he was incorrect that Cam's passing yards were due exclusively to us airing it out in garbage time.

Good piece on why Smith was as wrong as he was: http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2012/05/26/alex-smith-cam-newton-and-deceptive-numbers/

Sorry if it has been posted already.

Yahoo's Shutdown Corner pretty much "fatalities" Alex Smith in regards to this little drama.
