AA - "In the last 5 games of the 2011 regular season, Smith had 2 good games, and four games ranging from tepid to worse."His team finished 13-3 for Chrissakes!(+ you were talking about playoff performance anyway)
Here's the Wiki summation of his playoff game against NO:
In the NFC Divisional round of the
playoffs, Smith led the 49ers to a win over the
New Orleans Saints, with a final score of 36-32. Smith threw for
299 yards,
three touchdown passes with
no interceptions while
rushing for an additional touchdown. Smith led touchdown
drives of 80 and 85 yards in the final 4:02.
[44] He scored on a
28-yard touchdown run, and he
threw a game-winning 14-yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis with nine seconds remaining, eschewing a more conservative open receiver that would have settled for a field goal and a tie.
[35][45] Analyst
Ron Jaworski said "Alex Smith won the game, not Alex Smith by not making mistakes. His performance won the game for them."
[34] Smith also became the
first quarterback in NFL playoff history to lead two go-ahead touchdowns in the final 3 minutes of a game.= "didn't exactly shine in the playoffs"?????The following week he
threw two more TD passses w/o an int. - they lose in OT to SB champs.........................where can I get one of these please?
