we will see. if he does play like shit, we still got alex smith on the roster and can keep him for next year. his passer rating was the best in the league before he got that concussion which allowed kaepernick to start.
but, i think kaepernick is going to do just fine. when he runs the ball he is faster than the d line and line backers and bigger than the secondary. when he throws, he has one of the strongest arms in the entire league. he can put more speed on a football than anybody. the offensive line is one of the best in the league, he has a hallf of fame running back behind him, and a hall of fame wide reciever to pass to. plus crabtree and vernon davis who are both major studs.
I agree I would have had alex smith starting as soon as he was healthy. Now you have a decent qb sitting on the bench put off by the whole situation while a gimmick is out there starting. When the gimmick loses its shine and you have to go back to the guy who while not a great qb but decent he is going to stay?
You really think that in the open field kaepernick is going to intimidate an ed reed or a Bernard Pollard?
I hope he gets free today with pollard bearing down on him. Lol you remember that hit he put on the Patriots running back that knocked him out 2 weeks ago?
LOL look im not putting down the 49ers they are a great team with all pro talent all over the place. What I am saying is Kaepernick isnt going to be the new style of QB, running qb's are gimmicks. Its great to have a qb that can scramble for 15-20 yards every now and again but to rely on a qb's legs just isnt sustainable.
how do you think kaepernick is going to react to being hit like that?
