Even in a vacuum I would say advantage Kaep.

So I don't have to copy your previous post, ill just quote this one.
Im not debating Alex Vs Kaep. As soon as people understand this isn't Alex Vs Kaep the better off people will be.
Alex Smith didn't turn the ball over. Kaep did. Kaeps turnover in the super bowl led to what was already a horrible half for the entire 49ers team.
The difference is. You can say that it was an entire team thing. Just like the Vikings game last season. The entire team played terribly all game. Christian Ponder looked like Mike Vick. But, all I heard was how badly Alex Smith played.
Fast forward to the Giants 49ers game, same season. Same thing. The entire team played horribly, but it was Alex Smith everyone blamed.
That's the difference. Players have bad games, bad halves. The difference is, people judge Alex Smith on a different level than anyone else.
That's just truth. And come on. If you factor in EVERYTHING with the NFCCG, and can objectively say that the receiving corps didn't factor into it, then I don't want to hear ANY excuses for Kaepernick.
The Giants moved the ball at WILL in the first half of the NFCCG. Carlos Rogers was Victor Cruz's bitch. Still, Alex Smith did nothing to make the game worse. he didn't turn it over, and gave the 49ers the chance to win twice in that game, and turnovers hurt him. But, he is still blamed for 1/13.
But people make excuses for Kaep.
2/9 on 3rd down conversions in the super bowl........
