you must be on some good stuff, it took six years to get to this level and you think we should accept his play? Clean what?

Originally posted by zillabeast:The difference is that so far this season (this is football, the past doesn't matter, if it did the lions would still be s**tty) he hasn't shown a reason to throw him out. None. He's making the plays he has behind one of the worst offensive lines i've seen in years. He puts his body on the line every single play and has come away with 2 victories out of 3 games, while scoring a good amount of points in the third and having our defense collapse to have us lose. You even admit he has looked good and say tat you're using his past to write off his future.

I love Kaep and was very excited when we drafted him. I really do think he's the future of this team. That being said, he's not ready yet. You can talk bad about preseason and say it's meaningless (which is true in the W-L aspect of it) but you could tell he wasn't ready for the NFL just yet. He was staring down his receivers heavily, not going through his progressions well enough, had a tendency to run when he didn't need to, no pocket presence, etc etc. He needs the year at least to figure everything out. He WILL be good, but throwing him into games during his rookie year could have an Alex Smith effect on him.
Smith is playing really good right now. Especially compared to how he was, but also when looked at on it's own. He's getting us into scoring positions, we're winning games, he's going through his progressions, he's hitting receivers, he's making tough throws, he's becoming a playmaker when the play gets botched (the messed up snap that he threw perfectly into the endzone) he's getting better. There's no reason to take him out now, or at all this year. He hasn't shown any reasons for it.
Exactly, Kaepernick has potential and could pan out but he's not ready yet. Alex is not playing badly, and definitely not badly enough to trash the season by throwing in a rookie who will make a lot of mistakes. I just don't get it, for the first time in years we have a great chance to win our division and we want to throw it away to get a rookie who's not ready some playing time? Just because we don't like Alex Smith? That is just not smart IMO.
Yes.
See, to me you guys saying that Smith will maintain this so-called "high" level of play over the course of the season sounds just as ludicrous as Kap turning out to be a decent NFL QB to you guys. We're on opposite sides of the spectrum, but I think we've seen enough of Alex over the course of six years to write him off.
Kap on the other hand, we have no history on. Going off of preseason film and a few practices tells you nothing.
Sadly, we do only have preseason to go off of for Kaep. But I heavily disagree that it shows nothing. It shows how he works in game type situations. You're speaking as if because it's preseason, no one goes out there to play 100% and that couldn't be more wrong. Kaep has a lot of issues he needs to figure out before he's good enough for the NFL, and Harbaugh knows that. If he didn't, and if he was showing more than Smith, he would be playing.
I say you should hold off on writing off Smith and criticizing him until he actually does something this season to get mad at.

I agree. I don't care about the stats. "W" is what matters. But not to these guys on the WZ. They want to see 430 yards, 3 picks and an "L.".....

as crappy as alex has been (previous to this season), i'm still more comfortable with him than Kap.
(from someone that followed Kap his college career)
I'm in wrong... better for us.

But now it's about being "pretty." So they really just don't like Alex.
