Freak

I'm a huge Niners advocate going into the season, don't get me wrong. Frank Gore is easily my favourite running back in the league (until Brandon Jackson takes over, that is), and Darrell Jackson is EXACTLY what the doctor ordered for that offense (like, so exactly I can't even think of a stronger word than exactly!).

BUT, Alex Smith is still a guy under immense pressure, and also a guy remembered by some as having played like absolute dogshit in his rookie year. I do believe he'll outperform that low ranking, but some people just need to see a bit more from him, that's all.

(That said, what has anybody fucking seen about Matt Schaub, besides preseason?)
