They put the game on Alex vs. NYG and we won, the difference was he actually had protection in that game. This team will only go as far as the oline.

There was one third down play where Alex's terrible accuracy hurt him. It was a third down and an out pattern and Alex Smith couldn't hit Vernon Davis who beat his man by a step.

Or a throw to Kyle Williams on a third and long. It skipped the ground.

Protection isn't always going to be great. Steve Young didn't always have the best protection, especially later in his career, but he still made plays because he was accurate as hell.
