San Francisco named Alex Smith the starting quarterback, Colin Kaepernick the backup and signed Scott Tolzien to the practice squad. The latter is the undrafted kid who was popular with the draftniks before the draft, who couldn't make the Chargers. And coach Jim Harbaugh did the smart thing at running back, moving rookie Kendall Hunter behind Frank Gore. Wouldn't be surprised to see Hunter gain 800 yards this year, even if Gore stays healthy.
