Most people wouldn't be able to handle this the way he has. And in saying that, I honestly don't believe our team is that much different with Kap. Outside of scrambling, Kap has done nothing Alex couldn't have done. You can rip me for that all you won't, but thats how I honestly feel. The major difference is the hype. A hand full of starts and everyone wants to annoint him the next coming of Favre, Montana, etc. No reason he can't be that good, but let's wait for it all to play out.
I would even go so far to say that I would rather roll with Alex than Kap at this point. Alex is only 3 years older - still a very young guy. And he is coming into his own. The 105 offensive coordinators and a ripped shoulder, let alone playing with a poor team, contributed to his lack of success. With Alex, you know what you're going to get. Time will tell, but with Kap, it looks like it might be extreme highs and extreme lows. I would prefer the latter and considering Harbaugh's conservative nature, not sure why he would disagree. However, all coaches are ego maniac's. Kap was drafted by Harbaugh and thus he is his guy. Coaches live and die with the QB they drafted.
I'm a Niner fan first and for most, so I hope we can win the big one. But, if I'm completely honest, I think the situation was poorly managed when it didn't need to happen. Are we better post QB switch? Maybe. But, I really don't think so. And when it comes to the playoffs, I would rather put my faith with Smith. Nothing against Kap, just lack of experience at this point (all experience, not just playoff tested).
Alex has actaually been the more extreme up and down QB in terms of game to game ratings.
And he can't make the off balance throws... can't throw into coverage, sucks under pressure oh and he can't throw over35 yards
weong on all counts--sucks under pressure huh tell that to the saints, and get back to me when the new guy does sumthin comparable under pressure
I really like Alex, but I'm tired of fans holding onto the 4-5 games throughout Alex's 8 year career in which he put the team on his back to win the game.
It took me 5 games from the other guy to see that he has a much better ability to carry this offense on a much more consistent basis than Alex.
5 games. Huge sample size. What's annoying is that this year and last doesn't matter to some when speaking if Alex. People will always hold on to the prior years. That's a bit skewed.
This all won't play out well. Sanchez went to 2 AFC Championship games. Now?
