Ehh, that's a major leap of faith in my opinion. He couldn't muster much against a Rams D that the Jets just took apart.

Scrambling after you first read isn't a sustainable effort at QB. But I hope he steps up big tonight
eh as long as he doesnt turn the ball over, Im ok with scrambles.
its not like alex does much different from one read->hold the ball->tuck and run.

Yeah, like the Bears defense wouldn't be salivating at the thought of Alex Smith either :heh:

Not really, Alex Smith plays low risk football, if he can't find a receiver he can dump it off or just audible to a run, we avg around 5-6 yards a carry. But one thing we need this week is for Vernon Davis to show up, if he doesn't have a good game as well we could lose.

Look at that AZ game, Alex was going through his progressions like a champ.

But my problem with the scrambling after the first read is

A) Liability for injury
B) Receivers don't even have the chance to make plays
C) It becomes a habit and dude limits the offense.

I`m not saying that is how it's going to be tonight, because this game he has had more time to prepare, i`m just as a QB in general. If the kid wants to become a full time starter that facet of his game needs to change.

Tonight it might actually be useful because at least he wont be putting it up in tight spaces for INT's if he does that

one thing is for sure though. tonight is a huge opportunity for kaep.

so maybe even if coaches instruct him to not take chances, he prolly will :shaq2: I mean, a huge game against this D, for him, would be huge. could create qb controversy and get him $ in the long run.

Oh yeah,that's why I said Kaep can't look at this as a lesson, this a fukking audition.

Say the kid throws for 250, 2 tds and a pick, that's a solid ass effort against a top flight defense, this will get noticed.

Even if we win the SB with Smith on some cray shyt, then Kaep's market value will be huge and the 49ers could deal em.

Now if we fall short with Smith again the fans will most likely be ready for the kid to get his shot, even if not appointed starter, a full blown QB competition come August.

This is a chance for Kaepernick to truly make a statement about his future as a QB in this league.

So it's gonna be close and you will run for most of the game but he still throws for 250 and gets 2 touchdowns??:skip: what do you see Campbell and Forte doing then? Juuuust asking.

Dude i`m not saying that is what he is going to do.

I`ve been the one person saying since last week that Kaep has a high chance of being eaten alive out there tonight.

I`m saying IF he had that type of performance, that would be big for his career cause either someone would want to trade for him or he`d be able to challenge Smith for the starting job in 2013.
