Then what? Bring Alex Smith in to try and come back and win the game? I've seen that scenario happen too many times over the years in SF. Alex Smith should have the opertunity to finish out the season as the starter.

Colin Kap. Isn't ready to be the starter for at least another season or 2. I honestly think Chicago did a horrible job in prepping for that game. They didn't expect Kap to throw the ball. Now that a team like the Saints has a chance to watch FILM on his game....... He not gonna get the same kind of looks from the NO's D. Injust fant stress it enough how bad of an idea I think this is. Colin is going to be the future QB for the 49ers. He will get his chance in the future...... But dont count on a young QB to get you though tough games and win a Super Bowl with half a season experience.

Just my .02

There ya go. The 49ers D stepped up and spotted Colin 14 points. Had they not got hose points we would have probably lost that game.
I really hope Alex Smith starts next week.

You cant say that. What if could go on forever. What if Ginn didnt muff the punt? What if the defense did not score those points? Well then the offense would have opened up the playbook more. All in all a solid performance, and I was satisfied with Kap's play.

Kaepernick avoided multiple sacks that most likely would have ended in Smith getting dropped. He made big plays on 3rd down and put the ball on the hands of every receiver. All of this in one of the most difficult venues to play in. The kid is the real deal.

I didn't get to watch the game. I was driving back from LA and listen to the entire game. His stats were not better then Alex Smith's. I really like Kap but he isn't ready to be the starter. I also think its fucked up it they bench Smith after all the BS he's had to deal with over the years. Stick with the guy who GOT YOU into the playoffs last year and who was on pace to do it again.

Kap is gonna be a good QB if he keeps getting better and understanding the entire offense...... If he's patient and stays in SF he's gonna step into a well oiled offense in the next few years. Look how well A. Rodgers turned out sitting behind Farve...... Look at what Steve Young walked into after Montana was let to by SF. Shit even Tom Brady stepped into a perfect scenario when Bledsoe got hurt. [/QB]

It honestly makes me laugh when people say Smith has earned his position as the QB for the Niners and how he led us to the playoffs last year. The defense has always been the controlling factor of 90% of these games. Smith is a game managing QB which means the play calling for him is much less aggressive than when Kaep is in the pocket. Smith has one solid season where his play calling is managed and everyone suddenly thinks he is the shit? The guy had a great game against the Saints in the playoffs, that is pretty much the only aggressively called game we've seen with him starting and that's simply because there's only so much the D can do against the a powerhouse offense that the Saints had last season. As far as I can tell Kaep is superior in every way. He has great poise in the pocket, is able to escape the pocket under pressure while still keeping his eyes down field, he has the balls to stand tall in the pocket and make a pass with a pass rusher right in his face, he has a cannon of an arm which is also accurate as hell, he is fast as f*** so running the option will provide more positive yardage than him coming in from time to time, and the guy proved that he can keep his shit together in the incredibly loud Super Dome. I get that Smith is the safe choice but Kaep is the future and shows what this team can do with a real QB to go along with that nasty D we have. Smith always seems one play away from losing his shit altogether whereas you can feel MUCH more confident with Kaep in the game whether its 3rd and long or whatever situation. All we need now is to teach the O-line that Kaep can escape the pocket and keep plays alive rather than Smith's "oh god pass rushers time to shit my pants and check down or throw it away" mentality. The holding calls alone kept them from tearing the Saints D apart, the score would have been vastly different IMO.

Im not gonna say, " I told you so." when Alex Smith leaves at the end of the season or even cut before the end of this season and Colin Kap isn't what you guys think he is.

Name one mobile QB in the NFL who has been able to stay healthy for a whole season?
Name some of the best QB's in the league right now and tell me How many of them have rushing stats at the end of the
game?

Your QB's job is to throw the ball and throw it accurately, not throw int's & lastly not force the ball into coverage and understand field position.

Smith CAN put more points on the board. I think he plays a lot more conservative then Kap...... But I can guarantee all of you that Kap will not have as good of a win/loss record as Smith did last year.

The NFL is madden..... You don't get a TD or a field goal on every possession. You take your shots down the field when the time is right. You shouldn't go out and try and air the ball out 40 yards every time you drop back to pass........ Better off checking the ball down and gaining yards then giving up a down.

Checking the ball down with accuracy is a different story
