ChosenOne Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 According to Sports Illustrated's Jim Trotter, head coach Jim Harbaugh has named Colin Kaepernick the 49ers' starting quarterback. Trotter reports that Harbaugh informed Alex Smith of the decision, and it has nothing to do with health. All signs pointed to this being the case after Harbaugh refused to commit to Smith following Monday night's thrashing of the Bears. Kaepernick showed off his underrated passing skill set in the victory and made some throws that Smith wouldn't even typically be asked to attempt. Kaepernick has QB1 upside in fantasy while Alex Smith was no more than a high-end QB2 on a good day. Smith can be dropped in all fantasy leagues. Kaepernick has a date with New Orleans' league-worst defense on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Terrible source. I don't buy it especially with it saying that the decision isn't based on health. We'll see who starts on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Lol one good game and suddenly he gets the starting nod over the guy with a top 3 QB rating. Did not expect this from Harbaugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 High QB rating isn't hard when you only make safe, short throws. WCO helps inflate QB Rat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
