The fact that it's an arguable point says a lot about how good Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick are.

The article was written in August when Alex was the starter.

I wish we had Wilson. Imagine how much better we'd be with a real QB on the roster. Oh well, I guess that's what the draft is for.

Yeah, that Marshawn Lynch - what a wimp!
And, those 2 pro-bowl O-linemen - mere pushovers!

Wasn't this article written before the season started?

Oh, good; I was worried that only older threads bumped by non-49ers fans were looked down upon, and not those bumped by your fellow fans, as well.

Yes, which is why it's impressive that he called it. Nobody knew Wilson was the real deal when he wrote it.

Lots of QB's are better than Alex. Just like lots of QB's are better than Russell Wilson. Point?

...Or did I just completely miss some world altering wisdom that this guy was so gracious to bestow upon us?

Who cares? Smith isn't starting, Wilson looks good for now. Defenses will eventually figure out how to defend the pistol offense and make life very difficult for the breed of qbs

I would say so. Although (and I'm clearly biased), I believe that Kap is a better pocket passer than Wilson. In fact when I think about it, we really don't use the pistol all that much anymore.

The measure of a good QB is his ability to adapt and overcome once his favorite wrinkle is taken away.

Time will tell which of these guys, if any of them, are truly great.

Yep... Just like the wildcat of a few years ago. Cam Newton got the cuffs put on him this year. Running qbs eventually get hammered and eventually have to rely on the basics of playing the position.
