Football Why Jim Harbaugh is awesome... - Page 2

When's the last time we heard anything like this in KC?

Quote:

Jim Harbaugh hinted at a possible quarterback change for the San Francisco 49ers following Colin Kaepernick's impressive performance Monday night against the Chicago Bears.

Kaepernick, who replaced the injured Alex Smith, was outstanding his his first career start, prompting Harbaugh to say that the Niners would "go with the hot hand" next Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

"I usually tend to go with the guy that has the hot hand and we have two quarterbacks that have a hot hand," Harbaugh said after Monday's 32-7 victory. "So I thought Colin did an outstanding job. I thought he did a great job, poised in the pocket pushing the ball throwing with accuracy, did a nice job running the game plan. Everything he did was exemplary and really acquitted himself great, very proud of him for that."

Kaepernick, who had played sparingly since being drafted in the second round last year, completed 16 of 23 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns against Chicago's vaunted defense.

"It's everything I could've ever wished for," Kaepernick said. "It feels great just to be out there."

Harbaugh acknowledged he was "impressed" with Kaepernick and dismissed the notion that Smith shouldn't lose his starting job because of an injury.

"We'll make that determination as we go, but there's no rule," Harbaugh said.

What's with these threads lately?

"John Elway is great!"

"Why Jim Harbaugh is awesome..."

"I'm thinking Nazism might be the way to go..."

Christ. Just because we suck doesn't mean we have to embrace our enemies like they're old pals.

If somebody shuts down their running game, Alex Smith isn't going to take them deep anywhere. I can't think of anything in particular Smith gives you that you couldn't get from the younger guy with more upside.

Harbaugh did miracles with Smith. the throws Smith made against NO last year in the final 8 minutes were throws the guy had never made. I would not rush to replace him, as long as Harbaugh is with him. Away from Harbaugh, I don't think Smith or Kaepernick will do much. My .02.

Experience. In the playoffs, I'm going with experience. I like Kaepernick long term, but not in his second year in a very tough conference.

I love CP.

He's ****ing the worst of Martyball and everyone loves it...

Well I'm not going to predict Kaep is next Tom Brady, but he made some very good NFL QB throws. A couple of them I would even say were elite NFL QB throws.

Matt Cassel would not have even attempted a handful of throws Kaep made last night. It will very interesting to see how Kaeps NFL career proceeds over the next 6-8 months.

My prediction is Smith and Kaep are not both 49ers by 5/1/13.

Experience at what? Playing poorly?

No, Mr. Elliot, whose first name is Lin, was not the engineer.

Marty was.

Marty put Jim Harbaugh in position to do his job.

He followed that up with one of the worst performances you'll ever see in the playoffs against that Giants in tha NFC Champinship game.

It isn't unusual (except in KC) for any backup to come in and perform well in his first game since D's don't know what his strengths/weaknesses are and how the gameplan changed. If Kap gets the nod, it'll be interesting to see how he does 2-3 weeks from now. If he isn't playing well, then Harbaugh looks like an idiot for changing.

Harbaugh can be a hot head, especially after a game. Great players. He can thank Singletary for setting the table.
