The first half looked like the regular season with a running QB, the second half looked like the postseason with a running QB.
In the first half he runs for 100 yards, didn't really make any mistakes, they go into the half with a TD lead. In the second half, he runs for 30 yards, turns the ball over 3 times, they score only once on 6 possessions, and they lose.
The scat QB works against the bad and mediocre teams in the league, but when you play a team with a good defense that can make adjustments and take it away, and which has a decent offense that can punish turnovers - i.e., a playoff team, you have to be able to play QB. So far, he can't.
I think the 49ers are learning that a guy like Kaepernick can win games but is only going to take you so far.
