The 49ers used their top draft choice on tight end <a href="/wiki/Vernon_Davis" title="Vernon Davis">Vernon Davis</a>.

Smith also spent the off-season working daily with his new coordinator, wide receivers and tight end, while working to improve his technique and add bulk. The improved offensive cast clearly helped Smith develop in his second year, especially early. Smith's first three games of the season saw him throw three touchdowns, no interceptions, and amass 814 yards. After struggling in Kansas City, he then threw for three touchdowns against the <a href="/wiki/Oakland_Raiders" title="Oakland Raiders">Oakland Raiders</a>, setting a career-high.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> However, the next five games saw Smith resume his growing pains, averaging only 153 yards per game while throwing only six touchdowns and nine interceptions.

Smith however performed brilliantly in the fourth quarter, and drove the 49ers on a long touchdown drive down the field early, taking a narrow 10–7 lead. Late in the quarter, with the same score, Smith struck again – shaking off an almost certain sack, rolling to the left and completing a pass to Frank Gore for a touchdown to give the 49ers a 10-point lead. On the next drive, Smith cemented the victory by leading yet another touchdown drive, and rushing for a touchdown on a naked bootleg. Collinsworth had earlier in the game observed that "Alex Smith is the best I've ever seen him. That drive is the best I saw," and on seeing his touchdown run, commented "What a second-half he has had!"<a href="#cite_note-Maiocco-28">[28]</a> After losing to the Cardinals the following week, the 49ers' final game of the 2006 season was against a <a href="/wiki/Denver_Broncos" title="Denver Broncos">Denver Broncos</a> team looking for a playoff berth.
