Kaepernick has HOF talent. Not every QB in the NFL, even elite, is going to go to the HOF. It's not like they benched him to start Matt Moore. They benched him after an 18-19 3 TD performance, a 7-8 1 TD performance because Kaepernick has more talent than any QB in the entire NFL (arguably). So this argument is a little ridiculous. |

And if Geno were drafted by the 49ers, he'd unquestionably be their backup as well. It's a shit argument. We should take Geno and failing to do so will be a mistake, but that doesn't make your argument any less shitty.

if Alex Smith is their answer to our QB position he, at the very least, better be as good/efficient as our old friend Trent Green. Anything less is fail.

I'd trade our next two entire drafts for Kaepernick. Where can I sign?

Benching him for an unproven guy (no matter how confident you are about his talent and practices) was a huge risk. But Harbaugh made the decision that Smith simply wasn't good enough. Of course, he was benched three other times, as well. |

My expectations are for a seven +/- two wins a year, a mid 20s draft pick and a first round playoff exit if they get there.
And the band played on..

He made the decision because Colin Kaepernick has more ability than anyone in the entire NFL

If the 49ers believed in Smith they never would have traded up to draft Kaepernick. If the 49ers didn't believe in him, why should we? It's not the 1980s. They didn't acquire Kaepernick as a cheap value pick then hold on to him for seven years as an insurance policy; they realized they couldn't win with Smith and got rid of him at the first opportunity presented.

Not anything proven, but ability. In other words... potential. The history of sports is littered with the names of athletes with more "ability than anyone," but the bottom line is, you don't sit a guy down for another guy with "ability" unless guy number one ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. |

My expectation is that '13 Alex Smith will be the absolute best that he'll ever be, since it's unreasonable to expect any football player at 30+ to be ascending.
So, not only would we be getting another team's backup, but we'd be getting a lesser version of what he was with his previous team. |
