Alex Smith never got a chance to help during an embarrassing shutout loss to Tampa Bay last year.
For those numerous unfriendly jabs and the constant criticism he has endured in a roller coaster seven-year career, Alex Smith is suddenly giving people plenty to cheer about this season.
Jim Harbaugh yackin' it up with the media? It's amazing what a 3-1 record and a two-game lead in a division can do. The universal assumption was that Harbaugh would turn this thing around. But now? This fast?
Frank Gore's 12-yard run capped a second-half comeback, lifting the San Francisco 49ers past the Philadelphia Eagles 24-23 Sunday.

The big storyline from Dallas' incredible comeback win in San Francisco was Tony Romo's ability to lead the team to victory despite suffering a puncture lung and broken ribs.
There might have been a time in recent memory when these losses could be justified as "moral victories" (God, I hate that expression). The simple truth is that the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers blew it. Both should be 2-0, both are 1-1. Oakland blew a 21-3 halftime lead while their Bay Area counterparts blew a 10-point 4th quarter lead.
Playing with a fractured rib, Tony Romo hit Jesse Holley on a 77-yard completion on the Cowboys' first play of overtime that set up Dan Bailey's winning 19-yard field goal, and Dallas rallied for a 27-24 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Alex Smith was in a few precarious positions in his first game under Jim Harbaugh: throwing blocks, diving for a touchdown and getting a bear hug from the new San Francisco 49ers coach.

The 49ers face the San Diego Chargers Thursday night at 7 p.m. on CBS 5 in the final NFL pre-season game. John Madden said the 49ers should be playing many of their projected starters.
The good news is that the San Francisco 49ers game meant nothing. The bad news is that the offensive line still has issues, schematically and otherwise.
In the ugly aftermath of the Battle of the Bay, the Monday morning quarterbacks were less concerned with Alex Smith's performance than they were with the behavior of the fans. It was an ugly spectacle to be sure.
We had a pretty good view of the mayhem taking place during Saturday night's game, or was it MMA at Candlestick? I'm still not sure. At one point, one of our cameramen remarked that he could find a fight at any moment from his shooting position.
Say this about Alex Smith: The guy's resilient. The top pick of the 2005 NFL Draft, he's still trying to prove the San Francisco 49ers right and make it as their starting quarterback.

My plan was to take in some Blues in the French Quarter after our broadcast of the 49ers game. As it turned out, I didn't have to wait that long. The blues started at kickoff and lasted until the final gun.
