Alex Smith's first start. I remember the 49ers who were 14 point underdogs at home actually hung in tough until the 4th quarter.

30:22 “Frank Gore the running back from Miami is believed by the team to have a magnificent future.”
16,000 rushing yards later, I think they were right.

HOF for sure. 1st ballot.

Holy damn the 49ers threw Alex Smith into the NFL fire way too soon

[@Fireyninjadog]

They put him against the best team in football, and the niners were horrendous. That's a mismatch on so many levels

Giving Alex his first start against Peyton Mannings Colts in their prime? Talk about throwing to the wolves.
