So what happens if Kaep gets hurt, or in 3-4 years when he slows down? Do we just draft another Kaepernick?
Good think he hasn't shown any signs of being injury prone and has shown signs that he is a terrific pocket passer. Not sure where your worries are coming from?

All QB's who run eventually get injured. The Pistol requires a running QB. This thread is about the Pistol.

Well, it's a violent game and most QBs get injured at one time or another. If you remember, Smith had a significant injury early in his career too. Luckily for us, Kaep is really big and strong guy, unlike other fast QBs. Add to that, is that he's clearly shown that he's a throwing QB who only runs (aside from a call or two a game) when throwing the ball is no longer an option. I guess I'm just having a hard time understanding why you seem to be fixated on the negative regarding Kaep. It really sounds like you are bitter.

I love Kaep. I hate the Pistol. It puts the QB in unnecessary dangerous positions. Kaepernick has too much potential as a passer to waste it on him running. I just hope Harbaugh doesn't abuse him the way Shanahan did RGIII.
I hear you, but other than the GB game, I see no indication our staff plans to use Kaep like a running QB. I think they run him enough to keep defenses on their heals, but the majority of his yards will come when plays break down. The thing about the pistol, I believe all three of our rushing TDs on Sunday came from that formation. There were some gaping holes to run through. I see no reason to scrap the formation, especially since so many plays can be run through it.

Formation? It's our base offense. What happened to a return to the WCO? I want to see another 49ers HOF quarterback. That's not going to happen with this offense.

You realize you can run the WCO out of the pistol formation, right?

Mangini and and Mike from Mike and Mike provided an interesting way to stop it. You know how a few times the DE was standing there staring at Kaep after the handoff? Well, Mangini said you don't have the DE make a read. You have him go full speed at the QB and hit him as hard as you can and completely ignore the hand-off to the RB.
You do that a few times and that QB's head coach will call it less in order to not put his QB in a position to get injured.
Mangini is right, that is a free hit on the QB and it would be legal considering the threat of the QB running.
