First off Hillbilly, it's "How long
were".
Secondly, Harbaugh was hired during the lockout. He had no time with Smith, no minicamps, no personal time, nothing. They drafted Kap in the second round, not the first, and he was a developmental project.
Furthermore, Kap is a dual-threat QB that can throw a 50 TD or run at TD from the 50 yard line, something he did more than once. Since he showed he was ready to become the starter after Smith went out with a concussion, who in their right mind would yank Kap for Smith, other than Marty Schottenheimer?
