Time to revisit Kapernick vs Alex Smith?

So you think they should've kept him over Kaepernick? By saying he shouldn't have been replaced you are saying the team didn't have a chance to improve itself by switching QBs.

We'll never know will we? Had A. Smith stayed in at starting QB, does he lead them to the SB and maybe win it?

I'm just not of the same mindset as all of you about Kaepernick. I'm not sold on him at all.

1) I could care less either but he was not interfered with or it would've been called. It wasn't. You're entitled to your opinion of course.
2) Seattle lost Harvin and Browner and Averil have both been hurt. I guess they shouldn't worry about playing effective football?
3) We just disagree. I'm not saying he's the best of the best but when he's had a solid coaching staff and players surrounding him, he's won big games. Period.
4) I think I'm confused. I would never take a RB at #1???

1. If he was interfered with it would've been called? Umm what I am about to say is going to shock you but sometimes in NFL games the correct call isn't made.

2. I know Seattle has lost guys, what does this have to do with anything? I was just making the point that losing your top 2 weapons in the passing game is going to compromise your effectiveness, this seems pretty obvious to anyone with a clue.

Those last 2 you really seemed like you just want to argue. You act like I'm trying to be the guys PR agent, I realize your a Seahawks fan but I just look at every team/situation for what it is. No Crab/No VD = Less effective Kaepernick....Kinda like no X/Y/Z = Less effective Tom brady..That is all i was saying

3. i got no problem with Alex Smith, we'll see what happens with KC. FWIW Their schedule is easy as hell so I do think they can go 11-5.

4. If you are a rebuilding team why would you want an above average RB over a #1 pick? Clearly the right play is to take the #1 pick. Most GMs would say they made a great deal. T-Rich is a solid power back but he isn't an elite RB and you would take the equity of a #1 pick over a solid RB unless you were a team contending possily. RB is the most fungible position in the NFL and T-Rich has been league avg effectiveness and looked average so far.

I jut don't want to argue with you over this stupid shit. You're sold on Kap and I'm not. It's really that simple. Say I don't have a clue all you want, doesn't really change much.

Yeah I didn't say that either, I think he is raw as hell with tons of physical skills and I'd take him over what they had before. I just said I'd take him over Alex Smith anyday (you said the samething in a thread between 2 weeks and 2 months ago, please don't make me find it and make you look like a fool cause I don't feel like looking for it or care much about you looking like a fool)

I think you take arguing as debating, I got no ill will towards you or anything but you just make tons of logical fallacy arguments that its easy to pick apart then you get all butt hurt over it.

"If it was a PI it would've been called" See how dumb that sounds?


re: TRich...Why would you take him over a 1st rd pick if you were the Browns? They are rebuilding anyway, by the time they are good he'll have over 1k carries on his odometer and want a contract extension, very good deal for them.

I would take him over Smith right now. Back then when he got injured, I don't think I would. Is this hard to believe?

Ehh...we've been over this but I think when they lost that game to the Giants 26-3 that is when Harbaugh thought he had to give the young kid with more upside the nod.

If your a Smith fan you gotta be happy he landed in KC and doing well, a lot of worse places.

Look at it this way, whoever they put at QB out of these 2 clowns seahawks D just gonna own.

Agree with all.

Kaep on track to go 16 for 24, 208 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs. His team is on track to win 28-6 on the road.

And they still haven't let him run a single read option play all season which is his strength.

Yeah well it is the Rams. Romo completed 70% for 3 TDs 0 INT and a 137 passer rating last week...

I like Kap, think he's a good kid and hope he succeeds

as for Smith, he has a great opportunity too

the read / option QB's will not be as good this year as they were last year, teams will simply be more prepared to face them

only time will tell

You can't judge Kaep as a read option QB though since he hasn't had one designed run all season.

LOL, those same options were on the field in Seattle. Amazing what happens huh?

Seattle's defense at home is too much for just about every team in the NFL. Hard to judge him much on that game. The WRs were getting jammed at the line and there just wasn't anything to throw to...

I don't think we can pick and choose what games to judge a QB on.

Agreed. I still say he's not even CLOSE to what many people (especially the analysts on TV) think he is. He has a LOT to learn and I'm just doubtful that he ever will learn it. Was a nice win though. Not too impressive given the opponent, but definitely a nice confidence booster for the whole team.
