They were a much more dangerous team when they still resembled a traditional run-first team with a deadly play action game. And that's not to say that that was only with Alex--they played very well with this balanced approach in that Chicago game with Kaepernick. It seems like their mindset now is "well we have a superstar QB now so let's wing it around, run the pistol all the time and let Kaepernick win the game" and they're being exposed. This is the exact same reason that cost them the Superbowl.

That's not as much on the coaching as you think. Im not sure who you are a fan of so I wont assume. But the system itself is designed that if Kaepernick were to see that the defense was vulnerable against the run, he could check into that. Alex Smith did it all the time. Talked about plenty how they would go to the line of scrimmage, and alex would decide what play to call. The 49ers averaged 5 yards per carry today. Frank gore, 8 ypc. Why were there so many plays ran, when they should of been pounding the ball. That is on Kaepernick. Its embarrassing. A run first team, that is built to run, with two really good running backs, not adjusting, and to me, in my opinion, just the same as it was when Alex failed on offense, it always comes back to the qb. Its just the way it is.

Alex Smith wouldn't of turned it over against the Seahawks like Kaepernick did, and with the way the 49ers defense was playing, that would of been enough. And against the colts, Alex Smith would of been checking to more runs, and the Colts proved they couldn't stop the run. Now, maybe the 49ers couldn't of beat the Packers with Alex Smith, but they for sure
could of won the Seattle game......
