Filed under: 49ers, NFC WestSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith may have a way to go before he's won over all his critics.
But his performance Monday night in a 25-22 loss to the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints won over many.
San Francisco safety Dashon Goldson told the San Francisco Chronicle that Smith earned every bit of praise he got after his 23-for-32 passing performance good for 275 yards and a touchown.
"Alex put this time on his back and carried them all the way down the field,'' Goldson said. "He stepped up big time for us. A lot of credit goes to him."
Tight end Vernon Davis said he was excited about Smith's "career here as a 49er.''
"But we have to make him right. He can't always make us right. We have to be there for him as far as receivers and in the blocking game, we have to protect and give him time to get the ball out.'' Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
