That's done. The die has been cast there.
Like I said, Geno Smith is still the guy to go get, but you're still making a really shitty argument here. Harbaugh recognized an absurdly talented QB was available for him in the 2nd round and he aggressively moved to go get him. It was a great decision and it has made them contenders.
We should do the same. But that's the only real takeaway there is to bring from Keapernick ahead of Alex Smith. Colin Kaepernick is more talented than Alex Smith...duh, the end. He's more talented than all but about 5 guys in the leauge.

If Alex Smith was so damned good, why did he crawl back to the 49ers after taking them to the NFCCG because no other team would offer him a starting QB's contract and after the 49ers flirted with Manning so publicly?
This isn't just about the 49ers, it's about the market. The market spoke to Alex Smith, and they told him to **** off.
Even if Kaepernick is Christ reincarnate, I'm pretty damned sure there aren't 32 of him.
Harbaugh made a bold move by moving up for Kaepernick. It's obvious he liked him, and didn't like Smith, but he obviously didn't like him enough last offseason to fully commit to him, because they went hard after Manning and when they didn't sign him they offered Smith a contract. He also got really ****ing lucky by Kaepernick ending up being far better far sooner than what he expected.
