There seems to be this weird misconception of what our offense is going to be like. It's going to be like the early 2000's Philadelphia offense. Not the Vick, Maclin, Jackson downfield attacking offense. McNabb never threw for 4,000 yards.
Why do some think they even plan on changing Alex Smith into a gunslinger? Did Schefter or some other talking head tweet that shit? I don't think that was ever in the cards. Reid had a lot more success when he wasn't slinging it down the field and he was throwing it to Westbrook. |

Here's the thing though.....why are you banking on KC to have a stellar year defensively? Wouldn't you want Alex to prove he can win without a top flight D? Or maybe you realize in your heart he can't overcome a bad/average defense? |

All along, people have complained about Alex "playing a role", and that is exactly what he did. He (and Harbaugh) recognized the defense and STs for what they were. The real question was, what kind of pass game could we get with the underwhelming receivers and run block oriented OL we had. Roman (OC) said himself that the pass game is what takes the longest to implement and evolve. So we played things carefully... we fed our star RB... we pitched the ball out on shorter routes to keep defenses remotely honest... and you know what? we won... a lot of games. Why is that some horrific knock on the QB? We really do not know what Alex can now do, if the D isn't as strong. If Smith is pitching 20+ yarders 30 times a game, then something's very ****ing wrong with the coaching and team around the QB. If Smith is throwing 30-35 passes a game, but 25 of them are in the 0-15 range? I am not worried about his success at all. Charles, Bowe, Fasano, Sherman, Avery should all be very useful on the short and intermediate ranges. |

Alex Smith in 2012
60% of his pass attempts were in the 1st half That is exceedingly high Kaepernick 51% That is because like I have said the 49ers cruised to Wins in 5 of Smith's starts Smith's 1st Half pass rate was 15.75 That is easy math 31.5 pass attempts full game pace 504 season pace Griffin the very babied in the 1st half last year Wilson was right at 50/50 |

Kaep is clearly superior. Anyone who would argue otherwise is clearly an agenda-driven dumbass.

Certainly possible but why not let that happen before crowning it. |

http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2013/9...-alex-smith-in A lot of that was just the scheme... rely on your D and STs. Now Kaep WILL end up bringing more to the game just on his freakish evasion and running... but pace yourself. It is fair to suspect that defenses can figure him out enough to keep him from being amazing to simply good. |

Kaepernick will be fine. The thing about him is he's great in the pocket too. He has superior pocket pressence to Smith. I think Kaep will be fine and Smith will be fine as well. I just think Kaep is the better QB. |

Pretty sure I pointed out the fact that the RBs averaged nearly a full yard better with Alex under center compared to Kaep. Quote:
You COULD make a fairly strong case that the 9ers might have been better off with Alex for the remainder of the 2012 season. I think Kaep will be a special player, but I don't think he completely eclipsed Alex last season. I think he will this season. If for no other reason than the offensive talent has been improving every year since 2011. What's more is that even if he's just equal to Alex, he has more value to the 9ers because he's 1 younger, 2 cheaper and 3 more charismatic. |
