In two starts, Smith, the 2006 Heisman Trophy winner, has channeled his college greatness and placed his name alongside some of the great San Francisco signal-callers of the past. He completed 17 of 28 passes for 356 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win against the Rams. His 12.7 yards per pass attempt was the highest average for a Niners quarterback since Steve Young in 1997. In addition, his 116.7 passer rating made him the first to have back-to-back games with a rating above 115.0 since Jeff Garcia in 2003. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Yes, but Troy Smith or Alex Smith? It was a rare bit of humor from the often stone-faced Singletary, who might be a laugh riot behind closed doors, but isn't known for yucking it up with the media.

SANTA CLARA — The first question 49ers coach Mike Singletary fielded Monday morning wasn't surprising, but Singletary's response sure was.
Finally, the 49ers haven't committed a turnover in Smith's starts. The last time they went without a miscue in consecutive games was in 2002, their last winning season.
On the heels of clutch performances in back-to-back wins, Troy Smith has wrested the starting job away from Alex Smith, who has been medically cleared to play this week after sustaining a separated shoulder on Oct. 24.
“Well, as of right now Smith will be the starter,” Singletary said, smiling.
As stunning as Singletary's brief bit of playfulness was, his eventual answer to the question couldn't have been less of a shocker.
“We're going to go with Troy,” he said.
