Hey, I'm not going to lie and say that I'm a big Alex Smith fan because I'm not.  But he has gone from number one overall pick that was a huge bust and was benched repeatedly to a guy that barely won the starting job last year.  He has improved steadily over the last two seasons and statistically this was by far his best.  It just seems like to me that he worked his tail off to get to where he was in order to have the rug completely pulled out from under him.  I'd understand the move if Smith was playing mediocre or even average, but he was actually was doing some positive things and not just staying out of the way like last year.  

And like you said, what happens when people get a scouting report on Kaepernick and tailor their defenses to stop him?  Do you expect him to still excel? 

What you said about Smith is backed up by his career stats. And yeah, a starting QB with such stats for the season shouldn't be benched just because his backup had a couple of good games. He should have gotten his job back as soon as he was fully capable of playing again.

I take back what I said previously. Harbaugh is a jerk.

I just looked up his stats and did you know that he was leading the NFL with a 70% completion rate this year?
