   TIM KAWAKAMI got this from ,, Trotter?
   “According to Jim Trotter’s report, Smith has been informed that Kaepernick will start in New Orleans and that the decision does not involve Smith’s health status.”
   No truth to this ,, can’t even tell you how bad I would have felt if this quote were true, true Kap os the more talented QB of the two. But just the same Alex is playing great football. And more importantly being a Niners is all about loyalty. Alex has always been just that to this team, and should be treated the same

   Yes I know the time will come when there will be a change, and I thought I could see that in the contract Alex got. Same type of contract Payton got but with Alex less cash … $13 mil? If HQ doesn’t come up with that Alex can walk! I understand in the NFL it comes down to ‘What have you done for lately?’ Well?
   The numbers Kap, put up! were pretty much the same as Alex numbers, but he did it deferently … the bottom line as always is just win baby.
   GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONINERS!

   kaep deserves the starting poaition, simply because he brings the 49er offence to where it should be just like montana and young was running the west cost. we dont need a game manager we need a qb whos willing to go down field we need an elite!

   well it is this if colin starts and gets blasted alex can say i told you so ….or if the kaeper comes out and destroys the saints then what …the bandwagon is on and we all light burning 11 jerseys ………this is just football and we watch and cheer and specualate wich is why we watch …it is fun to have this to talk about and even better our team has the league on notice……………WE ARE HERE

   YES! I’m an Alex supporter ,, I supported Alex when we we’re losing because we didn’t have any coaching or talent to speak of! And I always felt that with coaching and talent Alex would win. And I know a lot of others posters here feel/felt the same way. So now that we have been proven right, and Alex with 1 1/2 years with good Coaching ‘understatement’ and a lot of good talent as well! Alex is 20-5-1. And the reason we didn’t make the SB last year, sure the hell wasn’t Alex’s fault! Sooo
   IMHO very HO, This is Alex’s season to finish, he’s earned it!

   woah ok your opinion is noted yet alex could not move the ball after the first quarter and williams was the back up and sure made some mistakes late in an game we should have had locked up allready …the defense picked off eli and alex coulnt even get a field goal the defense got several turnovers early and we got a filed goal and a TD ….and the other 3 turnover went fo not …….and even when the game went into over tiem alex threw 3 checkdowns and walked off the field smiling all the way …yeah i saw it and yeah was not cool he gave up way early in that game and if you go back and watch it you wil see that so no i think alex is a millionaire trying to play football so he can impress his wife and friends …and alex did not run the gambit everygame while everyone sat on the bench in awe ….he played the 10 yard game and the running game got a lot of yards and the special teams was awesome and we had an easy schedule last year this year alex lost the games becuase of his average QB play to a prepared defense …..and several of those wins you put on alex were won by the defense stopping winning drives by the other team because a;lex could not even get a first down to ice the games ….go bakc and watch the regualr season giants game and cards game and seachickens game for a few all won by the defense because alex could not ice the game

   all this is fun but after the saints game we will all know who the starter will be ….this season with a tougher schedule is awesome …..bout time we see what the niners can actually do against some good teams ……lost most of em but eh should male the playoffs and ho hum great ….but we all want that 6-0 up there for the record books and alex really ….no ..unless????…no not with alex and lol really where is he going to go if kaeper gets the nod and does good …no where but bermuda to get some sun the league showed alex how good he was in the offseason by snubbin g him at the probowl and then being non existant in freeagency ….the league knows just as the niners know alex is just a average QB under a elite system and if CK is for real then watch out and see just how powerful the niners can be ….and yes i will accept all you alex is the man guys into the new era …..we are for the niners and that coveted 6-0 in the superbowl best ever stat …everything else is water under the bridge

   Before we had the Coach and the talent we have now! It was Alex just can’t win, No. No it was Alex has small hands and can’t grasp the ball, all that BS! when it really came down to was coaching and talent, something that all QB’s need to win.
   Now that we’re winning, its still not enough now it seems to come to style points? “kaep deserves the starting position,” ?
   Well then what does Alex deserve, he sure the hell deserves something, eh?

   it doesnt matter what we think or feel – or even how Smith or CK feels about the decision. the job of an NFL coach is to put the best team out on the field. Smith was never promised job security, just the chance to COMPETE for his job.
   what if CK takes off like Kurt Warner did after Trent Green was hurt? do we put Smith back in out of some misguided loyalty?

   No, the loyalty is to the team, the organization and the fans…not to 1 player.

   bottom line, if CK gives us the better opportunity to win, he should start.

   its about wins and Superbowls, not hurt feelings – this is the NFL.

   and like Bob Sugar says…its not Show”friends”, its Show”Business” !

    @ sophisticatedfan – think about some of the comments the players made, after the game and this week – if you read between the lines (and thats all we can do right now) the players seemed hyped about CK7…

    doesnt it tell you something that the locker room in SF that there hasnt been ANY comments in favor of keeping Smith the starter? no one has come out and said “Alex is our guy”…the silence is deafening.

    I think kap should gain the starting qb position. He is too talented to only get a couple snaps a game. Hes quickly adaptable and posses more potential than Alex Smith. Give the kid another start and make the decision. I would rather lose Alex to another team, than colin.

    @ELPreisidente,,I am in 100% agreement with your 1st post, I have been a staunch alex supporter knowing full well that coach drafted CK7 to develop. as we all know alex has been a good above avg qb working within the system and limiting the mistakes. I believe that if CK7 keeps pouring it on we should stick with him. thats not saying I think alex just totally sucks, but it sure looks like kap is ahead of his growth than even coach maybe expected, just an opinion, but as long as we keep winning Im kool with whoever coach has spinning the rock,,,

    now I have never said I think alex will ever be brees or brady like, we have a strong running game and a smashing defense, alex’s game has been take what the defense gives you, limit the mistakes and ball control. I have seen alex check out of man to man coverage to a running play and gore got 45+ yrds on the play. that right there shows how commited alex has been to coach’s style of dont be greedy but kap’s style is different. and it worked to near perfection monday night.
    we faitfhful got pretty excited monday night at ” the stick”, but we are also smart enough to know that one game doesnt win you the super bowl. the rest of the regular season is going to be very interesting

    kap is starting…so now coach can finally use moss and manningham thats why we got these guys to open up the offense…not look the same as last year…to me it’s a perfect fit…kap needs to play and move forward…alex will be there as the backup and like i said before he will be great trade bait this off season…it’s time just like rogers taking over for farve…u people who love alex sorry but it’s time if he’s as good as u all say then this off season some team should want him..it’s time…..

    one way to look at this is that alex hasnt been cleared for contact yet,whatever that means, and the saints are a blitz happy team, so i wanna rest my starter and have him healthy for the playoffs,and i wanna see what kaep can do what he shouldnt do, like throwing into triple coverager for moss to try to knock it down-bad idea,but monday when he missed he missed away from danger like over throwing deep only can be caught by reciever or incomplete, he looked more comfortable monday great job kaep, lets see what the kid can do against the saints, they need to win to maybee squeek into the playoffs so they are gonna bring it, goooooooo niners !!!!!

    What many, beyond just 11, have been saying is that our offense has been below average with AS at the helm. Some said it was the O Coordinator play calling being too conservative. Some said it was the WRs or OLine. I happen to agree with 11 that it was Alex refusing to throw vertical and taking too many sacks. In my opinion, Monday night showed that the issue was Alex. Maybe its too early to anoint Colin a star, but at least he made plays that we havent seen in a long time. I believe we are a better team with Colin under center.

    Everybody wants an elite QB, well to start off that sounds great
    Brady, Paton, both elite QB’s nobodies gonna argue with that, I don’t think? But Brady lost the last 2 SB’s he started, Payton lost the last SB he started. Eli who some would say is not a elite QB “I would disagree’ has beaten Brady in his last 2 SB’s he’s started! All I’m saying is be careful what you wish for!

    @elPresidente,
    did you listen to any of the players yourself? Vernon Davis came out and said “Alex is still the man”. VD, who arguably benefitted the most from CK’s playing in the game, said it was Alex. Just look at the year 11 is having; you don’t bench that.

    They are not benching AS. They are simply starting the better player.

    yeah alex smith is third in qb rating in the league, with a 70 % completion percentage, yeah he would still be my starter, but i dont want to see him taking hits from the sack happy saints this week to soon, even tho he has a strong desire to compete he should wait another week i want him to be healthy for the playoffs he’s too important to be hurt, even if kaep smokes the saints smith will be my starter in the playoffs, goooooniners !!!!!

The bottom line is our coaching staff knows what they are doing. KAP is raw but extremely talented. Alex is dependable. They are both very good. Kap is our future. The coaches will decide whether the future is now or later BUT Pro Alex don’t sell Kap short as much as Anti Alex always want to slam Alex. Kap has done a tremendous job. Give him credit and I got news for you…HE IS PLAYING A PRO OFFENSE. Its all about us winning the Superbowl.

    if kap’s final line had 2 int’s on it and we lost, we would be talking VERY differently about our qb situation and who should be our starter, like I said, the defense bailed EVERYONE out yesterday

    we didnt get the running game going untill late in the game, like the 4th qrtr.,my buddy brought a friend,a casual fan, to my house for the game, we tailgate at my house on away games,,to watch the game, and at the start of the 4th qtr. dude looked at all of us and said,”hey,kap is looking like a poised veteran huh?” we all looked at dude and said,,”say what”,,dude he is doing ok,but this aint nothing special” that was my wife and we all started howling. see my point? kap looks much better but made some of the very same mistakes we have seen alex make. thats why I think coach is playing with fire,,yup kap plaed well, and yup,kap played bad, result, defense won us the game, and kap didnt lose it,,sounds like a discussion about alex doesnt it? this will be a very interesting week here in the city

    Kaep is the QB of the future. I don’t see why not. . . So now I qualified my statements below:

    WE ALL saw more down field throws because WE ALL saw the saints defense dare Kaep to beat them instead of getting beat like every other team gets beat by the 49ers running down their throats.

    The Kaep lovers here seam to really just be Alex haters. So of course they will ride his sack although he still posted as “mediocre” stats as Alex has. You all p!$$ and moan about looking down field. Alex Smith has tied 3rd in HIGHEST yards per completion in the NFL for QBs who’ve played more than half the season. Gore is averaging less yards per carry since Kaeps introduction to the offense as starter. The team still accomplishes win’s the same splitting run yards with Kaep and the rest of the run offense with a bit more down field shots at a lower percentage completion. Or running more effectively because Alex is good at calling the right run audible and completes 70% of his throws at a very high yards per completion.

    Bottom line. This “dynamic offese” the 49ers have with kaep didn’t score but 17 points on the SAINTS defense.

    As I read your last post 49def, which was well said , am more worried about the issue of the 49er, s keeping Roman and Fangio together on the staff during Jims current term as coach ,look at the situation in the NFL concerning cretin coaches you know were am going with this right. Where as Trent been during all this, he’s probably been smiling in his office with Jed and his mom and dad.

    LOL @ mfkram64:”Kaep was in total control.”

    Last I looked Moss saved a pick 6. He threw without looking at the defense several times more than Alex Smith has this entire season. Delay of game a couple of times because he couldn’t get the reads until too late. He’s confident in his athleticism and rightly so. But he didn’t show mental stamina. . . “He didn’t lose the game” like Alex doesn’t. But wait, our defense scored as many TDs as Kaep did. He’s the quarterback of the F U T U R E, not right now.

    You guys kill me. You all chasing the “I told you so”. If you pro Alex you will find the negatives in Kaps game, if you anti Alex you will find the negatives in Alex’s game. Its like Democrats and Republicans. I am neither…I want ONLY whats best for my team. Please stop the madness of who is right and who is wrong and just have faith in our coaches like I have been saying all along. The coaches know the process and evolution they are taking.

    yes dave g. as I have been saying all along ,,,IN HARBAUGH WE TRUST
    @MC33, well said, I think kap is much more athletic than alex but his potential is limit-less, many coaches have said that potential will get them fired. CK7 is the future, but we are living in the here and now. as long as we are winning games im kool with whatever coach desides, but he is playing with fire I think. alex is still tops in the league with a 70% completion pct. and 3rd in the league with a 104 qb rating. you gunna try and tell me that sucks? I will say it again, I think coach is playing with fire. if coach was looking for kap to blow it up against the saints, it didnt happen,

    ALLRIGHT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, Remember the problems that Alex had when he first started we all remember those days RIGHT. And besides those of you that want to tell use about the game that we ALL WATCHED come on get real, aging I bring up the subject of possible coaching vacancy’s in the NFL, the two that I mentioned will be looked at real hard, now if they stay and we get that 6th ring then there going to get a lot of money thrown there way. Hey 49erdef am going to get t-shirts and have IN HARBOUGH WE TRUST logo stenciled on them…….GO 49ER,S
