San Francisco 49ers: Alex Smith’s Future To Be Determined in Philly

When the San Francisco 49ers step foot between the white lines at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, they will be facing the biggest test the team has had in over five years.

Back in 2005, the 49ers drafted Alex Smith with the No. 1 overall pick with the hope he would become their franchise quarterback. The reason the 49ers had the highest selection in the '05 draft was because the 2004 squad finished with a miserable 2-14 record.

Prior to that miserable 2004 team was a hit-and-miss 2003 49er squad that finished a disappointing 7-9. That year was the last time the 49ers held a mark as high as 6-7 through week 14.

Until this season.

Like in 2003, this current bunch of 6-7 49ers still have playoff hopes on the line and can ill afford to lose another game.
