For those who use the Niners 3rd down stats to kill Alex Smith...

137

49ers 3rd down conversion % when Smith started... 38.6%, which would've been good for 14th in the league. 49ers 3rd down conversion % when Kap started... 34.4%, which would've been good for 26th in the league. So... perhaps the Niners 3rd down issues weren't all Alex? Maybe? Compare to 2 QBs 3rd down stats as well. Not close.
