I'm telling that guy to hit the QB, solidly, everytime. I don't even worry about the RB at that point, he can gain some yards. But I don't go for fakes, etc. I'm hitting the QB, and they can't flag that, he's a runner at that point.

I agree. It's different for a guy like Alex Smith too, because he is drastically smaller than guys like Kaepernick, Cam and Big Ben who can take hits like that.
I don't want us running the read option very much at all.
