Coach Jim Harbaugh’s faith in 27-year old QB Alex Smith has paid off in spades.  Smith is playing, by far, the best football of his NFL career so far this year.  He has played in 13 games for the 49ers this year and he has completed 221 of 358 passes (61.7%) for 2,565 yards with 15 TD passes and 5 INTs (91.5 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 39 times for 141 yards (3.6 ypc) with 1 TD run so far this year.  The 49ers need Alex Smith to keep playing well if they are going to make a legit Super Bowl run this season.

Kubiak, Harbaugh top coaches this NFL season

Via Fox Sports Houston  |  December 16, 2011
The NFL coach of the year race, unimportant as it may be, seems to have come down to two good, very different men. It is Jim Harbaugh and his muscle-bound jaw and violent handshakes and hair-on-fire charisma vs. Gary Kubiak and his chemistry professor cadence and wrinkled brow and apparent disinterest in any kind of fame whatsoever. Both men are 10-3 and clinched weak divisions...
