The Facts:
Smith will be the 49ers' starting quarterback for the final five games of the regular season, coach Mike Nolan said Monday.
Reported by the Associated Press
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Smith is 23-of-50 for 200 yards, five interceptions and no touchdowns this season, with a passer rating of 17.5. But Nolan believes his top pick can only learn the job by playing, even at the end of another losing season for the 49ers, already eliminated from playoff contention.
