I don't believe the 49ers need Alex Smith or Daunte Culpepper, or any player... to be a mentor for Kaepernick. They already have a 14 year vet at the QB position as the Head Coach. What could Smith or Culpepper actually teach Kap, that Coach Harbaugh cannot?
We've already seen it in practice. Harbaugh is right there with the QBs, dropping back and throwing to show them what he wants.
Maybe a team like the Chargers (Rivers, Volek) could go with 2 QBs, but we cannot afford to.
Also now as part of the 54 man roster doesn't it have to include 3 QBs, because they increased it from 53 to 54?
Not sure what the hold up is, sign Culpepper already!
