Lets just try to keep this civil and remember we are all 9er fans. Now to the debate. I think for a lot of us it feels like the team is at a crossroads. We have a long break before monday night football and a bye week coming. It seems like if a change is going to be made it will have to be done in these precious weeks. I think even if you are a smith fan you have to be disapointed in his production. I guess the biggest question is can we get more from kaep and still keep turnovers low? I think we can! We run most of the time anyway and kaep is more dynamic at that. We really need to be able to push the ball downfield in our playaction game. Gore and the running backs can only take us so far. Make the change now!

Quarterback controversy for fans maybe. A quarterback controversy with a franchise is when there is a situation with two quarterbacks and the organization needs to decide or commit to one. We have, they aren't talking about switching, so there is no controversy.

do you think maybe kaepernick being from UNR might cloud your objectivity Nevada? he couldnt even outrun 330 lb red bryant last night...

No I don't! I didn't even want to draft kaep. I wanted a more turnkey qb who could start from day 1. But after drafting him I though we should just let him start from day 1! I watched kaep every year at college and I have seen every snap smith has taken in the pros. Kaep more pocket presence a better arm and frankly is a more natural qb. I can also tell you this. He will bring a fire to the position that smith has never had. He has that (over my dead body quality) that steve young talks about. Its hard to explain but its there.

I agree. So since there is no controversy, can we please lock this thread?

We've seen this before, it's a re-run. Hill, Troy Smith, David Carr.

Shaun Hill completely outplayed Alex Smith when he was given a chance to play. Troy Smith came in mid season and looked like he almost had as much of a grasp of that offense as Alex did.

We'll know more after the end of the season. We're 5-2 right now, it's not the time to make a switch at QB.

What's the point? Every thread gets turned into the same discussion anyways. We had an Alex thread, a Kap thread, and now and Kap and Alex controversy thread to discuss the exact same s**t that was beat to s**t in those threads.

Just in case you two think the first four words of the rules don't apply in this thread, they do. You are both about to pick up an extended suspension.

5-2 now, but how will Smith be when it means the most in the postseason? If the Niners had a consistently good QB, this team would be unbeatable. It is ridiculous how wide open are receivers are getting and he is either not seeing them or missing them with the throws. I have given Smith slack in the past, but now his deficiencies are too pronounced. Even if Kaep is inexperienced, I would rather have the possibility of a big play out there with him rather than Smith.
