Alex Smith is looking like pure gold right about now.
Yeah, but as Kaepernick's overinflated status declines, he seems to be getting more angry and desperate. ....
Wilson is the most over rated QB in the game. Put him on a team with an average defense and running back and he would be garbage. I said it so its true.
Guy hasn't even played one entire season yet. Already flashed in the pan?
I am sure its all Kaepernick though, probably has nothing to do with spotty performances by the o line this year, the absence of Michael crabtree, other injuries, or the play calling. Its clearly all on Kaepernick huh?
And Tom Brady sucks too. Look at his up and down performances this year. Its all him. Has nothing to do with injured WR's or offensive line struggles. that guy is just a deer in the headlights now.
LOL, Sonny is obsessed with the 49ers QB. Crush?

Breaker would love to throw white ropes all over Kaepernick's monstrous beak.

From the world's #1 authority on everything Alex Smith: I promise you it's fool's gold. Alex Smith is the WORST kind of QB you can have. JUST good enough to keep you from looking for a replacement too hard. He's always going to be low YPA, throw to the check downs, predictable passes with low INTs as the one up side.
I have NEVER been a big Kaepernick fan. Directly after the Super Bowl I said I would trade him for Joe Flacco (and I caught hell for it). I always said he was overrated because of a great OL / running game & good receivers (last year). But as certainly as Jim Harbaugh will always be thinner than Andy Reid: Colin Kaepernick is a better QB than Alex Smith.
And that's a fact Jack.
Kraepernick was indeed a flash in the pan and they were foolish to get rid of Smith.
Guess now they're stuck with their choice.
Going with the theme of this thread I would gladly take Wilson on my team. Kaepernick not so much. I thought last year was his flash in the pan, and I didn't like him much either. I thought oh great another running quarterback who is the "future of the league." This year we've seen the true Kaepernick. The book is out on him and he hasn't been able to adjust at all.
Injuries are never an excuse. Every team has to deal with them and adapt. Great teams and great quarterbacks are able to adjust accordingly, and Kaepernick hasn't been able to do it. He has continued to regress every game and has looked far from impressive since week 1.
I would take Alex at this point. We would be no less than 8-2 with Smith, rather then Kaepernick. I also think that with Alex, the Niners would have had a better chance at beating the Seahawks. Alex was better suited to quarterback this team.

He wasn't able to adjust at all.... So I guess after the two game losing streak early in the season he didn't adjust at all and go on a five game win streak scoring more than 30 points in each game?

Which Quarterback with garbage WR's is blowing up? Which QB with no run game, no WR's, and a suspect O-line is killing it?
This bullshit where all the success the team has is because of the O-line and the run game and good WR's, but when the team struggles its all Kaepernicks fault... its just totally fucking stupid sickness. Even from you.
Do those games deserve the bad team caveat that you like to use so much when talking about the Seahawks?
Besides, even in those games it's not like he proved that he could confidently stand in the pocket and spread the ball around. The niners got nice leads and he rode the wave, the point of this thread is mostly about his ability to step up when things aren't going well.
Excuse me. The vikings picked Christian Ponder with the 12th overall pick.... isn't that correct.
Yeah, time to sit your ass down and shut the fuck up you clown. If Kaepernick was a flash in the pan, at least he flashed. Ponder is pure garbage from the moment he started to now. And you guys blew a 12th overall pick on him. Viking fans should really learn to be quiet. Your team is an embarrassment. Let the fans of the teams that are in contention talk please, and stop embarrassing yourself.
With 6 TD's and 9 Int's by Ponder I can't believe you guys are only 2-8.![]()
