Smith undergoes MRI examination on Tuesday
He has sucked in the three weeks post-injury. Well, he's been subpar all year. But it may have been better to have his toughness questioned and sat out a few more weeks. Trying to show everyone on his team he can play hurt, per Maiocco, has resulted in two things...
"...the problems with Smith's shoulder and forearm have created two other potentially long-term problems for Smith: 1) His mechanics appear messed up as he tries to compensate for the injury; and 2) With his poor play since he returned to the lineup, Smith's confidence has taken a major hit, as well. http://49ers.pressdemocrat.com/default.asp?item=699956 |

On a related note, I found this interesting...
"Seattle linebacker Julian Peterson said he observed Alex Smith wincing and grimacing as he was throwing the ball Monday and speculated the 49ers quarterback was still playing hurt. "It's kind of hard for them to pass the ball if he's not completely healthy," Peterson said after the game. "He can't really get the ball down when he wants to. You see the receiver jumping way high or the ball is too low." Nolan dismissed Peterson's remarks. "If Julian was a doctor, I would probably take what he had to say more seriously, but he's a football player," Nolan said. Of Smith, Nolan added, "He's fine. . . . He is not playing well, but I would not put it on his shoulder." http://www.mercurynews.com/raiders/c...nclick_check=1 Nolan should have sat him. Who cares if Smith says he's fine. If the opposing players see he's hurt, why can't the coaches? Last edited by 8ballrollin; 11-14-2007 at 09:11 PM. Reason: added source link |
