Beat writer Matt Maicco of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat says that 49ers quarterback Alex Smith has not convinced anybody he can be a reliable quarterback in the league, but as he turns 26 in May, he has not proven to be a total lost cause, either. There's no question he has progressed when he's been on the field, he improved from his first season to his second and after his third and fourth seasons were virtually wiped out due to injuries, he was better in his fifth year than in his second. For the first time, Smith will not have to spend the offseason learning a new system, he has a better supporting cast than any point in his career but he must take that next step in 2010.

i think they need a #2 RB and a RT this year and they will compete hard with the cards. The defense is pretty good, the passing game is solid with the emergence of Davis and crabtree
Having the same offense 2 years in a row will do wonders for him. I think he will turn out a pretty good qb this year.... granted, not Aaron Rodgers good, but still a starter.
