Bad part is they will " Al Davis " a pick. 4 years with top 15 first round picks with zero results. Is Texas A&M s QB ready to go pro? Here's to wishful thinking.

Wonder if Kaepernick will be the Tebow of this season? He's doing good now, but once defenses figure him out will he be able to play at that same level? The Pats ended Tebow time last year, let's see if we can do the same to Kaepernick this year.

I think he'll play for at least 2 more seasons and then probably become the #1 pick whenever he decides to go pro.

[tower74]

Yeah. When he went down on Saturday you could hear a flea fart in that stadium.

Well when you have defense that keeps up with the offense in the amount of points scored even Matt cassell would look good.

Yeah that's true. I think we will be the 49ers and it will definitely be a good game. Potential Super Bowl preview.

He has a better team around him that isn't likely to deal him soon. Plus, he made a couple throws yesterday that Tebow couldn't have made in his wildest dreams. I'd say he's good young talent and if the 49ers continue to develop, he could do well.

Yeah that's true, but no team has fully prepared for him yet or even had much game tape on him. Not saying he's gonna be bad, but if he goes through his rookie slump at a bad time, then it could be bad for the 49ers. He's definitely their QB of the future though.

Must send a bad message to anyone thinkin of goin to the Niners, especially a QB. Get hurt and lose ur starting job while u to 6-1(I think). The business side of the nfl is very cut throat. I hope the players do the same thing as well.

[b1adesofcha0s]

Yeah but at least they have shown enough to get themselves a starting job on a different team. I think Smith and Matt Flynn may both end up on new teams next season.

I disagree. Its not like Alex smith was the primary reason they were winning. He was a game manager. His job was not to **** it up. Not to win the games.

[elperuano]

Alex Smith has been there and paid dues I think. Yea he was a game manager but wasn't all that bad. The team jus invested in him and signed him to a new deal. To crap on him cuz this new guy had 1 good game and a decent one yesterday? He's not proven, no defenses have prepared for him. What happens when reality sets in and he turns out to be nothing? Turn back to Alex? Lol I do hope that happens, then Alex should ask for a killer raise. Nfl side is cut-throat, players should be also.

yeah cept he has no position to stand on to ask for a raise.

The players dont have the power. Ask wallace.

I dont blame them for taking a chance on someone who could be more than a game manager. at worst Alex Smith recovers from his injury.

[elperuano]

I know the players don't have the powers just sucks to see things like this. Everyone wants a QB that'll be a winner from the get go. Alex Smith recovers n Niners need him back, must hurt his confidence knowing they will drop u like nothing.
Coaches will say about a rookie the need to mentor them, have them watch games n learn BEFORE you put them in a game. Those days r long gone, now u just stick em in there n pray to God he's gonna get u a Lombardi trophy.

its how the game is.. I dont think its a bad thing.

Sometimes loyalty doesnt pay off. For instance. Michael turner should have been cut a long time ago.

Brandon Jacobs played far too long.

Norv Turner.

Phillip Rivers.

Rex Ryan
Mark Sanchez

etc etc.
