Only? Damn, wasn't it enough of a task for them to carry just Alex to the playoffs last season?

LOL

Josh Johnson is garbage.

I guess good bye to Scott.

People have to remember that 3rd stringers are garbage. The only reason why there is a 3rd stringer is because they need another guy to throw in practice.

There has to be that one dude that can throw and knows the offense when the first team is running plays together.

Yes. This is always true.

Tom Brady was never a third string QB.

Is that a compliment?

Interesting development. Josh was brought in as a more experienced backup. As you know 16 game season is long and anything can happen. Look around the league. QB's will miss time and Alex has missed some time himself. Next year's scedule is tougher on paper than this years.

Also, he is familiar with the system somewhat.

Still don't want to cut some young talent like Scott if he is capable. Hope we keep all four.If you believe JH is as good as you think about developing and having an eye for talent, there may be silver lining in this, If Alex has to miss games and one of the QBs shines like Flynn did for GB, we can trade the player for draft picks in the future. Whether it is Scott or Josh, it only cost cap space. If Alex doesn't have a good year or gets injured and one of the other three shines in his absence, Alex might be traded, and we relieve space in the cap for signings for the 2013 season. Of course Kaep could get traded also if he shines, but Alex still does good, as long as the niners get a high second round, but unlikely as teams won't give up a high draft for a couple of games.

It will be interesting to see how the end plays out. I'm okay with this for now. At least we are nothing like the jets, dolphins or cards. If this is not a four of a kind hand then at least a full house.

Tell it to me in Star Wars: Josh Johnson is Luke Skywalker. He began his training under Yoda (Harbaugh). Now he wants to complete it.

Ummmmmmmmm... didn't Yoda DIE when Luke returned to finish his training?

Wow, geek fail. Luke didn't begin his training with Yoda... he began with Obi-wan.

HA, Beerows is busted! Luke started his training under Obi-wan, continued under Yoda, then returned to complete his training w/Yoda, who decided to hang it up after a measly 400 years of Jedi service (dirtbag). You'd think Beerows would be a better nerd with his clever sarcasm and 114 pound physique.

I know, right? Somebody take his geek card.

The kid obviously has some IMMENSE physical tools - superior athlete, above average arm strength, and very accurate both from the pocket and on the run. In each of these departments, he's better than Alex - hands down. However, he does make some poor decisions with the football. For this reason, Alex holds onto the starting spot in the short term - but you cant keep talent like this down for long. I personally see him beating out Kaepernick for the backup role this coming year and quickly positioning himself as a potential long term solution for us at the QB position - assuming he's able to fully absorb the play book (shouldn't be a problem given prior experience w/ Harbaugh) and improve his decision making.

Obviously quite an assertion to make based on a few highlight reels, but screw it - why not

Well you can think of Josh's high school coach as Obi Wan and Harbaugh as yoda in college and in the pros. BTW Wrathman, I thought yoda said when 900 years (or 800) years you have trained jedi look this good will you? (opps must hide my geek card - can't let others know.)
