very possible because everyone in the matter gets what they want....and if he doesn't do it, then niners sign him for a reasonable price anyway.

i think steve young was saying on the radio its time to get "boring" by looking endlessly at game film and working on mechanics...i think he could do it cause the guy has shown to be pretty darn motivated

One thing this guy (and most NFL players that get to this level) doesn't need is motivation to work his ass off.

Considering he is with a relatively small agency not known for big names or huge contracts maybe that happens. But then again maybe not.

Yes indeed. Can't say for sure, but it seems as if Jim gets so busy with all aspects of the game that sometimes he may neglect to be that "QB whisperer" to Kaep. Sometimes, even smart QBs need reminders of the basics like pocket presence, solid footwork, and a simple understanding that you don't need to force stupid sh*t on 1st down. Read the field, take strategic shots, and if the big play is not there? check it elsewhere, run, or throw it OoB.

During this off-season, there will be no excuse for JH. He should have plenty of time to work with Kap on the fundamentals of being a good pocket passer. If this doesn't happen, maybe Jed should get involved and give Jim a nudge.

No can do. The current contract between the NFLPA and the NFL forbids coach/player contact until the formal activities start up in the spring. No coaching, no film sessions, Nothing.

Colin can do that one his own, but not with Harbaugh or any other 49er coach.

Good point. I don't know why people think that Harbaugh has some fairy dust or something he sprinkles on QBs to make them better. He'll give them pointers and tips to improve, but it's up to the QB to work on his deficiencies. He'll also tailor the offense to his QBs strengths, but as we've seen, it only limits what we can do and how far we can go with it.

How about during the OTA's?

He can go to camp Alex ...

I kid, but this might be a good idea. They were both in the same offense. Smith is a vet that has a lot of experience going from read option and shot gun to playing under center. Making decisions in the pocket. Closest thing to a 'coach' in the off season Kaep will get.

It may be unfair to compare anyone to Joe Montana but I want to point out--Montana was 25, with fewer games as a starter when he won his first Super Bowl. He was also a third round draft choice and the Super Bowl MVP. So while you can say Kaepernick is only 26 with one full year as a starter, it is not unreasonable to expect more, given our own team history. I expect big things from Kaepernick, and still believe he will deliver. He just needs a more creative passing offense and some tutoring on QB basics.

Joe Montana won the MVP of that SB by default though. He had a solid 1st half, but did NOTHING in the 2nd half while the Niner D held off a surging Bengals comeback. Without that goalline stand, wed have lost, and people would've been saying "why did Montana disappear in the 2nd half? He cant close big games." Montana had 25 passing yds in the 2nd half.

They can during OTA's. But keep in mind that time is very limited and there are many many other things occupying the coaching staff.

The player agreement has dramatically reduced that amount of practice and coaching time available.
