Alex Smith has been a lightning rod for 49ers fans' scrutiny the minute he got drafted first overall in 2005. Now that he has finally quarterbacked the 49ers to the NFC West championship (with a lil' help from his friends),… Full Story »

Jim and John Harbaugh: The Transcripts
49ers Hot Read Blog on San Jose Mercury News &bull Nov 22, 2011
Three days remain until the 49ers (9-1) visit the Baltimore Ravens (7-3). What can you do in those 72 hours? Considering this is the Har-Bowl, after all, you might want to read the loooooong transcripts from Jim and John Harbaugh's press conferences today. Actually, I'm shorting you one transcript, because Jim covered enough ground in his chat at 49ers headquarters, rather than force me to transcribe (at least for now) his conference call with national media.

Postgame report: 49ers 23, Cardinals 7
49ers Hot Read Blog on San Jose Mercury News &bull Nov 21, 2011
Ah, that's just how you remembered the NFC West, huh? Fortunately for the 49ers' win streak, they were less sloppy than the Cardinals. Now the 49ers (9-1) are celebrating their first winning season since 2002. But six field-goal attempts in the first half? Is that more of a sad indictment on the 49ers' red-zone woes, or a strong sign that the 49ers can put together six potential scoring drives? Kudos to the offense coming through in the third quarter, with Alex Smith throwing touchdown passes to Kyle Williams and Vernon Davis. Williams had a banner day and is carving himself… Full Story »
