[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 474175"] I love Kaepernick's potential, especially working under Harbaugh, a premier coach of QBs. But this "QB controversy" stuff is overbaked for the reasons you cited. There isn't much film on the guy...the little he's played has been wildcat/red zone stuff. If he can get a few more starts and can show that teams are not figuring him out, then he might be ready for prime time. And it's one thing to go out there with low expectations and not much personally at risk vs. being handed the leadership and the expectations that come with. If Smith is recovered next week, he'll start, and Kaepernick will have to wait for another day. Smith has proven to be an effective QB under Harbaugh. He moves the ball, protects the ball. As I illustrated in a previous post, his stats (yards per completion looked at together with yards after catch), indicate a much improved down field passing game this season, arguably better than the Packers. He was 2 muffed punts away from a SB last season. When you're this close to the prize, you stay with your solid veteran who's done everything he needed to do to win these past 2 seasons. [/QUOTE]
