So I just read that Kaepernick is going to get all the 1st team reps for the first 6 days of camp. What if he does so well, that harbaugh sticks with him with the 1st team when Alex comes back. Or if he declares an open competition? I have a feeling that Harbaugh might be more okay with playing a rookie QB than the average coach because he is also a rookie in the league. And we all know that Smith isn't the best training camp and practice player. I don't think it's going entirely out of the question for. Anyone else think this is the Colin Kaepernick era might have a much earlier start than we all thought it would? [ Edited by niner4life21 on Jul 30, 2011 at 00:49:33 ]

Would rather throw Alex to the wolves than Kap.

Its not going to be the wolves this season, its going to be Great Whites. No practice with crabs, rachal still starting, new offense.. upset fanbase...

Smith isn't likely to fail completely in a JH offense, but JH will coach up the backups and one of them will probably be ready to go four games or so into the season. If the team needs to be sparked up, it is likely that a change would be made then.

Yes but CK is much more physically gifted than Smith. Once CK can show his accuracy he will start. Accuracy in the pocket + rocket arm = ideal.

Physical giftedness isn't enough. The learning curve for a QB is much more than just learn how to wing the ball.

Yeah, but if you cant wing the ball you might as well be playing Pop-Warner.
