Show us on the doll where the bad man touched Smith.
How stupid of questions you are asking. Coaching can help, but a coach isn't what makes a great player great, they already have it. Smith doesn't have it. I don't think anyone claims he made Smith a star.
As I already said they got incrementally better from 2011 to 2012.
2011 - Scored 380 points (23.8/g), 11th of 32 in the NFL. Allowed 229 points (14.3/g), 2nd.
2012 - Scored 397 points (24.8/g), 11th of 32 in the NFL. Allowed 273 points (17.1/g), 2nd.
There is one comparison I'm purposely leaving out to see If you have the slightest of clue of what it is and why. You haven't put up you've just continued to yap.
Oh wait, so you mean it isn't the Kaep lovers' narrative that Smith is a product of Harbaugh? That Harbaugh resurrected Smith career? That Harbaugh is the great QB whisperer? That Harbaugh could take any QB and make him great?
Seeing that you dodged the questions and being a dishonest prick, I'm going to just fling this out here and call it a day. When Kaep was handed the championship caliber team, it was expected that he'd do MUCH better than Smith because of his "much higher potential". Now, when you hand someone a championship caliber team, with a great QB whisperer of a coach in Harbaugh that could turn shitty Smith into a winning QB, wouldn't you expect much better results in Kaep? Especially when that QB was handpicked by said coach to fit the system that he wanted to play? I mean, Smith had already done half of the work for Kaep in 2012 en route to their SB appearance. Teams didn't have much tapes on Kaep, should be easy, right?
2012 came, and the team, now the second straight year in the same system, was kicking ass. Smith set a few team and NFL records along the way (since you love stats so much). With the addition of a few key pieces that improved the offense and defense, plus players maturity, made for a much better team. Smith was playing his best football since the turn around about four games from the end of the 2010 season, when the team revolted against Dingleberry. We know the rest of the story since Smith was replaced.
2013, the team should be even better with a few more added pieces, yet the result started on a downward slide. It turned out that the new QB didn't have what it takes to play the brand of football that the coach wanted, so back to Smith football he went after the mystique of a running QB worn off.
2014? It barely got started, and you can guess where the arrow points.
And here we go with straight up raw stats used in a debate, fucking amateur. Using PPG as a stat is about the stupidest use of stats, ever. I'm about to put you in the same locker as darkswordman, because it seems that your ignorance is just as confounding. Throw some more stats at me, wiki-boy. Reveal the secret stats or comparison that would shut me up forever, come on.
I'm sure in your stats book they talk about how Harbaugh just handed the playbook to Smith during the lockout so the team can practice on Smith's dimes and under his dissection of the playbook.
BTW, he's doing just fine in KC. Smith's brand of football isn't flashy, it's old-school, no cheap tricks, no gimmicks, and it would have gotten the Niners another ring, no doubt about that.
