08:06 AM ET 10.11 | The Alex Smith-Mike Singletary relationship has grown toxic, a history that now includes a very public sideline blowup. They can put whatever dressing they want on the rest of the season, but it isn't real. They are 5-10 together as coach and QB. They don't work. They know that now. "I thought at the moment I really wanted to see what his response would be," Singletary said of the Smith blowup. ... [Singletary] said he was open to a quarterback change for Sunday's game against the Raiders, and other players confirmed that Singletary blasted Smith during the sideline festivities. Indeed, Singletary had backup David Carr warming up a series after Smith awkwardly lost a fumble that was returned 52 yards by Quintin Mikell for a game-turning touchdown.

They need to turn to someone because it's clear that Alex Smith is nothing beyond a backup.
And a coach-killer...

After that fiasco, Smith proved he has the talent and the capability for the position, but it's the focus that's lacking. Not sure that can be fixed at this point.

Uh Oh! Wait until Mikey gets a close up look at Carr. The Sacked Master.

Another failed number 1 to show the surrender.

Thats NO way to coach "I wanted to see what his response would be," Both should be gone by end of the year, unless a miracle appears. Trade Smith for some draft picks 6 -7 years, I've seen enough, wish him well else where, probably help him on another team, Miami?
I enjoyed Singletary as a player but the guy isn't qualified as a Pro football coach, sad, very sad state of this once mighty team , the way things are 9-7 could win playoff spot in NFC west.

The race is on to see whether Mike or Wade gets fired first. As far as Smith's trade value, I don't think there is any. Someone will wait until he gets cut and pick him up as a backup.

I see Smith as a good fit with the Vikings. He could be good with decent protection. He looked great in spurts last night, then horrible the next minute.

Ask another number 1 if anyone would pick him up to be a backup, Jecarcus Russell. Purple Drank anyone?

The stars are aligning in San Fran. Carr should know. He spent his whole career on his back watching them align.

Singletary wasn't ready for this job when they gave it to him... thats clear now. As for Smith, he's shown some flashes and needs a change of scenery. But this season appears lost for them.

I think we should all say a prayer and wait for the end which is sure to come now that I have heard "We want Carr!" again in my life. After his embarressing little stint here in Carolina, I figured the fans would much rather have captain checkdown himself in alex smith vs the gloved INT machine that is David Carr.

I would rather see Troy Smith than David Carr. Carr isn't the answer, though. The D didn't slow down the Eagles run game much, and Frank Gore had a couple costly fumbles, too. I think you have to look at the whole picture. It's a matter of focus for Alex Smith, but to me, nobody on the 49ers is focused.
