Someone's Simmering

The AP gives some good insight into the offensive malaise at 4949 Centennial Boulevard. VD sounds like he'll stay cool through another game or two as long as we keep winning. But interestingly, it's Alex Smith who's beginning to show some signs of frustration:

"It would be easy to complain about (only) 17 pass attempts," Smith said of the St. Louis game. "It would be easy for anyone to complain about touches."

So easy to complain, in fact, that he may or may not be doing it depending on how you choose to read that quote, in or out of context.

Let's face it, Alex is a smart guy and has pride. He knows what everyone is saying about him and it must be eating him alive. Unfortunately, the handcuffs are on and who knows if (or when) Nolan will let them off. But hey - a little QB-Head Coach strife worked out just fine last time.
