We need to extend Alex Smith (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=280391)

Kaepernick has been in the superbowl both years he has played...but he's not that good.

It is true though, when people talk about wanting their QB to act like some others, to not have tattoo's, etc, what they are saying is "I want my QB to be white, or at least to act white." That is basically what it comes down to, whether they intend it that way or not.

Besides the kicker and punter, it's one of the last traditional white positions, so anytime someone acts different and upsets the status quo, people get irritated by it.

God forbid you have a QB that is an individual and isn't a cardboard cutout of all the rest. It's the same attitude as with McCarron's mom mocking Jameis Winston after the BCS Championship Game.

QB's are supposed to be white and if they aren't, they are supposed to act white, talk white and look as white as possible. They need to be clean cut, if they have actual personalities, they need to push them down below the surface, they need to suck up to the media and be good soldiers all the time.

When they don't fit into a narrow, preconceived notion of what a QB is supposed to look or act like, people lose their damn minds.

Truff.

They also run the ball the most and have the best defense. When they went to the air a lot in the beginning if the year they started losing. They are forced to run a lot to make up for lack of Kaps passing skills.

He has? Someone better tell the Seahawks not to bother.

I hope so. If Denver wins I think the 9ers are the much tougher match up for them.

BTW Kap can be the next Jim Kelly for all I care. Still don't like the dude.

Just because a tool like him or Joe Flacco wins or loses a SB I don't have to like them. And that has Jack and shit to do with Alex Smith. I ****ing hate Rivers too. Has nothing to do with our QB.

I just don't like who I don't like.

I disagree.

Denver would have their hands full with either NFC team.

It's a tough matchup either way, but I feel the 9ers play a little better away from home than Seattle. Hopefully it doesn't matter and the Patriots are in it.

Kaepernick's been successful and puts himself in the spot light and draws attention to himself.

He deserves all of the bashing and praise he gets because of it.

The funny thing is, Kaepernick is about as genuine as it gets, he doesn't give a **** about what people think of him. I don't have an issue with how he dresses, when people talk about how "classy" Wilson is, that's just code word for "he acts and talks like a white guy and we can deal with a black QB who is that way."

Yep.

Oops. I meant championship game.

Right now Alex Smith is the better QB. That may change as Kaep gets some experience, but right now I'd take Smith over him.

This is the feeling of probably 80% of this teams fanbase and its always been that way. That's why they never try to draft/play their quarterback.

The fanbase would rather perennially go 9-7 than have a couple of 5-11/7-9 years while developing their own quarterback.

I like Alex Smith, but the dude is about to turn 30 and because of that the window to win it all with him isn't as big as if you draft a kid at 21 and develop him for a couple years.
