On maintaining teamwork: “They have a lot of pressure on them right now. I just wanted them to know their quarterback still loved them.” (more…)
ALEX SMITH – SAM FARMER ON SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS STAR QUARTERBACK
In Alex Smith Star Quarterback News: “The San Francisco 49ers suddenly have an offense. The New York Giants suddenly have a defense,” writes the LA Times Sports writer Sam Farmer.
“And the two quarterbacks whom nobody could hang with, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees, now have all off-season to hang with each other, because the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints are out of the playoffs.
In San Francisco, 49ers faithful are sounding like Saints fans, still wondering, “Whodat dat threw dat?”
That was Alex Smith, the quarterback nearly cast aside by the organization, who Saturday threw one of the greatest touchdown passes in franchise history — a 14-yard strike to Vernon Davis with nine seconds left to upset New Orleans, 36-32.”
Altogether, a smashingly good flex of football fortitude and familiar delivery of honed skill from Smith – when most needed. Read on.
