    Does anyone know how many total yards (rushing and receiving) Frank Gore needs to pull ahead of Roger Craig–I think that Gore has something like 11500 and Craig had 13000, but I could be wrong.

    For my insight on Kaepernick go to the website

    Frank has already gone by Craig in rushing yards and is about 1200yds receiving away. Such a great accomplishment. Roger was one of my favorite as is Frank. He is the current day picture of a 49er!! Around 8500 yds rushing for Gore right now…Craig had around 5700. A couple years behind Mark!!

    Here’s some insight….. Give Alex his job back, Jim. Just do it.

    It’s not “Alex’s job”. It’s the team’s job.

    We should of won if they wouldn’t of called a safety because the ball obviously went over the line of scrimmage….why would they not review that? I just feel bad for alex went he did nothing wrong but go a concussion…

    Because you can’t challenge a penalty. Therefore, there is nothing on the play that could be challenged.

    Douglas Ort, Well said. Okay, give the “Team’s Job” back to Alex.

  9. By BD on Dec 4, 2012 | Reply

    In a perfect world I would like to see both QB’s start. Anyone, have any bright ideas on how to make this happen? For now, Thanks Kaep but let Alex get back in to lead us to a championship.

    Right now, Coach Harbaugh has lost something very valuable.
    I believe EGO is now ruling plans. When fans are backing off, its big trouble.
    SF decision making is questionable, and nothing comes.. before intelligence.
    My prediction is barely making Playoffs, No Chance for the Big Price..No Way.
    Carma is gonna get You.

    Switching QBs as Harbaugh did (based only on an injury and not for performance) sends a bad message internally to the clubhouse, to the existing starting QB, to fans, and can be a bad beginning of a trend that can spread League-wide to other organizations and coaches to employ. Coaches then could tell their injury-recovered starting player that lost their starting job only to injury, “I am Harbaughing you. Now stay on the bench and remain healthy for the rest of the season.” It’s a bad precedent, and it shows no loyalty to successful players momentarily sidelined by injury.

    Time to uncork La Micheal James in a few choice sets. We don’t have the capability to run wide without Kendall. I don’t expect him to do be asked to that much, but I don’t think it unreasonable to at this point, have that threat. He is not an every down back lest he end up like Javed Best he is too light. But to be utilized as a slot receiver and a running back in given packages is his best use. The biggest question is; can he pick up a blitzing NFL linebacker?

  13. By Hermie on Dec 4, 2012 | Reply

    I still believe something, at least in-part, was sent down from the top…Ala, “Jim, let’s see what the kid can do before Alex’s 8.5 million comes due. We need to find out if he can play!!”

    If Kaep would not have looked good in these games, he still had a fall-back position in going with Alex. But, Kaep has looked alright, so he figures to go with him against a weaker team in Miami at home.

    Just thinking!!

    what is the league stance on 2 concussions in a season & how far apart they can/may be?…what would it mean to Alex Smith’s career & family or well being in itself? I know what happen to Steve Young! I guess if your just a fan you can afford to just throw him out there.! who will xplain or accept the responsibity of the consequences?but then again it is in letigation already.I hope they can suceed without hav’g to answer any of those serious questions! Better to err on the side of safety…good call 49ers!!!! P.S. plea to coach,Open up the play book!

    P.S.S. How many teams can claim that if their starter goes down in the playoffs or even the week or two before the playoffs can say the next guy in line has real game speed experience.

    The Niners need to Blow OUT the FISH this weekend! No holding back!
