Their draft history is hard to sustain over time.

Also, they may have kept the wrong QB.

Alex Smith has actually won in Seattle before, Kaepernick has been blown out twice and only came close in this playoff game. Put Alex Smith in that situation and I guarantee you he takes the out to VD or Patton to gain more yards and live another down or hits Boldin in the seam for a TD instead of trying to force it over a 6'3" corner who happens to be the best in the league at what he does.

Krap had just forced a throw over a DB who had good coverage, earlier in the game on the TD to Boldin.

I think everyone in the world thought "this'll be an INT" when he released the ball, but in that case the throw was absolutely perfect, so he got away with it.

But that pass could have easily been picked as well, and it was the same mistake - trying to get the ball to a receiver over a defender who is in position to make the play. Sure, it CAN work, but the throw has to be perfect, and you won't make a perfect throw every time. A man's got to know his limitations.

Or he needs to be intelligent enough to read defenses and go through his progressions... Instead of reading one target and throwing into tight coverage regardless

The throw was not perfect, lol, the defender just misplayed the ball. Thomas should have had an INT but he drifted a bit too far out of the play and so was only able to get his finger on the ball. It was a terrible decision by Kaep and he got extremely lucky.

I was thinking Harbaugh should have taken one of his two TO at :50 after the Davis first down and worked some shorter passes. Nope. Waste :20 and try to go yard for a pick. That's a pretty big coaching error IMO. Maybe he had a shorter read, but give kaep come time. The decision to throw is on Kaep and FFS throw it to the corner, but wasting 20 seconds and calling an end zone route is bad coaching.

That was all on Kaep. He predetermined that throw to Crabtree. That had absolutely nothing to do with the playcall as he had 3 open receivers to his left. Patton had an easy 6-10 yards as no one was within 10 yards of him, David had 4 yards of seperation on an out route, and Boldin had beaten his man in the seam for a sure TD. Kaep said it himself that he was throwing to Crabtree regardless of what was happening on the other side. When they asked him if anyone else was open, the only thing he said was that he would have to look at the tape.

I think it is still on Harbitch to call a TO after the Davis first down.

Something I just thought of:

This year, the 49ers went out when Krapernick turned the ball over 3 times in the 4th quarter, including forcing the last pass to Crabtree when it wasn't there.

Last year, the 49ers lost the Super Bowl when inside the 5 yard line, he threw at Crabtree on three consecutive plays and all three were incomplete.

Rigged. Obviously.
