Troy Smith is legit

Why did it take so long for someone to give Troy Smith a chance to start? 17/28, 356 yards, and a touchdown in an overtime victory. He may not have all the physical tools, but he knows how to win and he is just a gamer. You've got to be excited if you are 49ers fan, even though they are 3-6, the NFC West is still wide open.  If they can go on a little run they could still end up getting into the playoffs.

This is pretty unbelievable:

I know you are taught to knock the ball down, but in hindsight, with no one around you, it may have made more sense to just catch the ball. I feel really bad for the Texans defense and their fans, that is a heartbreaking way to lose a game.

Video of the Day

QB Troy Smith is set to start against the Broncos in London this Sunday. I really like this move. I was a big fan of Smith coming out of college, and he was slotted to start in Baltimore a couple of years ago, but got he injured and Flacco took over and he never got a chance after that. Smith is finally getting a chance to shine, and I think he will do a great job utilizing all the talent on the 49ers roster, and finish off the year as the 49ers starter.
