Alex Smith to Vernon Davis.
Seriously? Smith to Davis?
The next Montana to Clark in 49ers' lore?
That's what they're saying in San Francisco after Saturday's thrilling 36-32 win over the New Orleans Saints in the NFC divisional playoffs.
It's a great win for San Francisco fans. And Davis' grab at the end of the game was one heck of a play. He took quite a hit in the end zone.
But let's not make them legends just yet. So excuse me while a rain on their parade.
Once Smith continues to perform at a level warranted of legends like Joe Montana, then throw him in that class.
San Francisco's defense deserves some credit, too, for picking off Saints quarterback Drew Brees twice and recovering two fumbles. The Niners offense, however, continued to look like it was allergic to the end zone until the end of the game.
So, San Fran fans, enjoy the win. It likely won't happen next week.
The 49ers still are flawed and I would pick against them in the NFC Championship Game against either the Giants or Packers. And, yes, Smith is still the quarterback.
I'd like to see him do it at least one more week before we anoint him as the third coming in SF.
Until that happens, it looks like he could be next week's Tim Tebow.
