Why is Morran Norris still on the roster?

I would rather use the spot for an experienced backup QB and put the 3rd stringer on the practice squad, if he won't get swiped up, or we can carry 4. If Alex gets injured, Kaep is nowhere near ready for the NFL IMO.

I would too, but Harbaugh has proved so many fans wrong this season with a 7-1 record.

Let's trust that Harbaugh has faith in Kaepernick to get the job done if Smith gets injured.

This late in the season, with injuries piling up, why the hell is this guy still cashing a paycheck? I thought we were a running team? How come we have so few backs on the roster, Frank looks like he's hurting, Hunter is a rookie, and Dixon is in some kind of dog house, we need to see what we have on the practice squad, can any of those guys take a few productive reps? If they can't we need to take a RB early in the the next draft, Frank doesn't have enough left to play a complete season. Sadly his days seem to be numbered...

You can bring in a veteran rb and they can make good on playing. If you think there is a veteran qb that can come in, learn the play book and play better than Kaepernick or Tolzien, please name that veteran qb???

The niners have thier qb rotation, I am happy with Kaepernick and Tolzien, if you put Tolzien on the PS he will be signed off that day.

I think a better question will be whether M. Norris is on this team next year. I would say no but I been proven wrong before.

who's asking for a new qb?

Same reason Braylon Edwards is here. We love to hold onto guys that have become worthless as starters but someone who now serves as a last resort if we have no other option.

I say no. He's already third on the depth chart. Peele was Miller's backup vs the Cardinal. And he wasn't even active.
