Very impressed. Smith didn't do anything to lose his job and was playing extremely well, but I think Harbaugh has to start Kaepernick again. He's doing everything Smith was doing, plus he can throw the ball down the field and is a dual threat. That's the missing link that could push the Niners past the NFC title game.
What do you think?
I kind of think the same thing. Kaep was hitting guys in stride and making big 3rd and long completions. While alex doesn't deserve to lose his starting job, the point is to win football games. If he stays with Alex, then alex knows he has a very small margin for error and could be replaced in game sooner than ordinarily warranted. In any event what ever Harbaugh decides he does have the initial trust and confidence of his players.
My gut tells me he will announce alex as the stater tomorrow. but who knows. either way i think we will be fine.
