Our Scout Team QB

I was just reading an article about Colin Kaepernick that indicated that CK was our primary scout QB. This got me to thinking about our secondary issues from last week. I just don't think CK would make a very good scout QB for out 1st String D to practice against. A veteran pocket passing QB would be much better suited to simulating a scout D team than a rookie scrambling QB. Perhaps our starting secondary is looking stellar in practice against CK's developing awareness and throwing accuracy, and then is completely unprepared for a legitimate top tier QB that can get through their progressions and make every throw. Wouldn't it make sense for the 49ers to be looking for a veteran QB to not only backup Smith but also bolster our scout QB and therefore sharpen our secondary?

I mean it would make them better to play agaisnt better competition, but I don't believe that will change much at this point. we just have crappy safetys and DB's no matter what.

Our "creative, aggressive" D.C hasn't been creative or aggresive yet.

And Nate Davis played DB during scout team walk throughs, I guess he's the reason Goldson and Clements sucked

I don't know. I would say we look a lot more aggressive than we did last year.

I imagine him and tolzienshare the duties.but pocketpresence matters for nothing in scout practice because he doesn't get hit so he only has to worry about his progressions.
