Hearing Alex Smith to Michael Crabtree for a Touchdown is something I can get used to over the next few years. Last weekend Alex Smith came in for "relief" of Shaun Hill who quite frankly wasn't getting it done. In one half he threw for 206 yards and 3 touchdown passes. Last week also marked the first game for long time holdout Michael Crabtree who caught 5 passes in his opening game. Many consider those 2 plus other offensive threats the future of the 49ers and let me just say that the future is looking bright.
On a side note, however, the team across the bay (the Raiders) didn't look too good playing the jets losing 38-0. There is always next week, right? Many Raider fans felt that they had the future on their team with a streak of 6 years with a top 10 draft pick meaning they had the opportunity to draft their future stars. Not so fast says owner Al Davis who apparently felt it would be smart to draft a few questionable players, mainly JaMarcus Russel, who this year only has 2 touchdown passes and over 10 turnovers. While being the butt of many jokes, it could be worse. Take the Lions, for example. They finished last season 0-16 and this year is not looking much better. It could even get WORSE than that. The St Louis Rams haven't won a game in over 20 attempts going 0-7 so far this season. Many call this year the year with the most bad teams they have ever seen. With 3 teams without a win yet this season, many can relate to what the experts are saying.
So in closing, this looks to be a promising year for the Niners, a not so surprising season for the Raiders, and a rather weak season for the NFL as a whole, HOWEVER there are 3 teams yet to lose so that is a promising stat.
