In that game we saw Troy Smith making plays all over the place. It was foreign, alien, like going to Ikea for the first time. Understand that the 49ers had FOUR plays of over 30 yards, EIGHT plays over 20 yards,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], highlighted by a 65 yard play to Josh Morgan early in the first quarter.

This type of energy and explosiveness from the offense, especially the plays where Troy seemed to make something out of nothing, might make it easy to just assume that he was slinging the ball all over the place into triple coverage, cheerleaders making TD grabs, carrying a Zamboni on his back. But let's take a closer look at each passing play, after the jump.
These are some of the generalizations made regarding Troy, mostly by those not ready to fully jump on the bandwagon just yet. I get not wanting to anoint the more vertically-challenged Smith as THE FUTURE just yet...but I also can't accept blanket statements about his play without having looked at the film.

Troy Smith: A Look at the Labels and the Truth

Ever since Troy Smith took over the starting quarterback job for the 49ers he has received a lot of critique. His style of play is so far from that of Alex Smith that it can be a blur to watch, causing Troy to be slapped with many labels and for many broad statements to be made.
"Troy Smith isn't a pocket passer, he's just a scrambler."
Some of you may have read the piece I did after the Denver game, where I concluded that Troy actually played well (and detailed each play beyond what your eyes see live, in real-time). Well I'm off to do the same with the St. Louis Rams game played on Sunday.
Then there were the 4th quarter heroics, plays of 36, 23, and 16 yards...including a 4th and 18 conversion that lead to the go-ahead TD pass. I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone at times.
