He was benched for a guy who Harbaugh did not trust enough to give the job to after the last offseason. He was benched for a guy that Harbaugh wanted to sit for another few years (see Manning, Peyton).
Smith was passed over by Seattle, who played him 2x year. He was passed over by Miami. He was passed over by Cleveland, and the Jets.
Thirty two teams had a shot at an adequate starting QB and not one thought he was good enough. It isn't just a matter of Smith v. Kaepernick, it's the 49ers saying for multiple offseasons, "We don't trust this guy" and the entire NFL echoing that sentiment last year.
