Obviously you don't understand Drummers history with Smith. Drummer was bashing Harbaugh last season for sticking with Smith when there were better options such as McNabb available. He continued to bash Smiths poor play on a weekly basis as the 49ers won 13 games & won their division. Smith then had very little to do with beating the Saints & everything do do with losing to the Giants. The 49ers lost the NFC Championship game on a fluke turnover & Drummer had been miserable all season #####ing & moaning about Smith. It's funny to hear him patting Harbaugh on the back for making the tough QB decisions this year, when last year he complained endlessly on Harbaughs tough decision to go with Smith as the teams best option. Go 49ers!

To the bolded: kinda KYOA here with your redundeschtick. As far as second guessing: I think you're the only one left outside of thehornet who are second guessing the move. I guess the 49er Webzone ain't enough for ya to chew on, so you bring that over here.
Kaep is the starting QB for the 49ers. That's it. Now you can go root for another team.

You wanna know the very definition of internet stalker? Right here with mcd. Harbaugh won 13 games with Nolan's key players and with defense, along with Singletary's 2 draft picks in the first round of 2010. I have posted many a stat and still post many reasons and such that have shown this. The ones who post stuff like mcd has here are the ones who cannot refute any of what I have posted.These guys are the reason why I never say "we" when it comes to the 49ers.

I really don't like the 9ers and hate for it to be true, but kudos on finding an obviously super-talented QB and a great coach.That was amazing.Also: The pro game is changing. What happened to "this is a passing league." The QB position is looking to become more run oriented than any time since the 1940's if this keeps up.

Kaep this last game threw for almost twice his attempts (31) than his rushing (16), but that was due to the game plan with the read option vs. GB. Harbaugh is still gonna try to make Kaep more of a pure passer from the pocket, but he can also switch a gear with Kaep.'SaintsInDome2006 said:

The thing about Kaepernick that cannot be understated is how much better he is this year. WTH did his accuracy come from?? The offseason reports were middling, at best, then out of nowhere he beasts in the second preseason game, and hasn't slowed down since. Who developed and coached this guy? That is the coach that should get a huge contract - a QB whisperer.

It's Geep Chryst, who if Roman leaves for an HC job will probably take over as OC. So you don't want him to leave of you're a 49er fan.

Wow, no, I don't. Not knowing anything else about him, he is a genius for his work on Kaepernick.

He has played well but before we give him his SB ring, lets see him play a game on the road. Green Bay couldn't beat Minnesota in a must win game on the road and they didn't look good against Minny. Green Bay just hasn't been the same team in years past. Atlanta isn't the greatest 1 seed ever, but they have played solid and have all the pieces in place for a SB run. I was surprised at the accuracy of the 49ers QB but will have to see him do it on the road and stepping up in class a bit. Should be a good game.

You must have missed the NE game a few weeks ago? SEA was undefeated at home this season so I don't think a probowl team would have won there :semi-sarcasm:And not sure what you mean about the class comment? I assume you're referring to the taunting penalty? That's inexperience (not classless). Talking junk is all part of the game. Remove the spike part of the exchange and you'd have a normal exchange between a WR and DB

I'm assuming you mean a playoff game. Because he won against New Orleans and New England on the road, both difficult environments.
I admit he looked lost at Seattle, but that's the only time he hasn't been composed all year. Impressive, if you ask me. I'm not worried about him at Atlanta. Sure, anything can happen, but he's not going to go apoplectic or anything like that.
drummer
Footballguy
He also worked with Smith last season too. So that's another QB who he has done wonders for.ETA: yeah, it took a Chryst to do that.

There isn't. Nor could Alex Smith play any stretch of games good enough to convince drummer otherwise.That said, he had the balls to call his shot early on, stood by his arguments, researched the stats to back it up, and generally (so far) has been right. You don't have to be a fan of the delivery, but the content's been pretty pointed.'tjnc09 said:

Thank you very much for this post. My delivery may be Ray Ratto like, but from my experience talking Smith, QBs or any 49er football on message boards or blogs, I found that my delivery has to have a distinct purpose to just cut through the hyperbole, hype, as well as purposed arguments just for the sake of one. I'm just posting what is the obvious. I think I've proven my knowledge of the team to the point where it serves everyone here, and I hate to have to defend it all the time.

drummer could be a pretty good poster if he weren't always looking to pick fights and could learn to be respectful. He's been right on a lot. And wrong on a lot. Like most of the SF regulars who post around these parts.

Now you, the OP, is falling back into that trap again, and I ain't setting it.

Sorry Drummer, I've actually had you on ignore the whole season. The only time I notice you is when you are quoted & lashing out at posters that disagree with your opinions. I'm not sure what going off on a roll about Nolan & Singletary's players has to do with my post, which you did nothing to refute in your reply. It needed to be said that you were never really on the Kaep bandwagon, but just against the QB that had led the team to a 13-3 record the year before. As a 49er fan, who really enjoyed the Harbaugh led turnaround, it was pathetic to listen to a supposed fan gripe & complain after every win. As you tell others, why don't you find yourself another team.'drummer said:

Yeah, Harbaugh is a genius. He invented a system that made Alex Smith look great, with simplified passing trees and easy-to-execute read options. Then he turned the whole team around in a week to run the pistol under Kaepernick. Totally able to work with whatever personnel he's given.

Drummer is the Dennis Miller of 49er fans. I think he knows the names of every person that has worked in the orginization for the past 30 years from top brass to equipment managers, and isn't afraid to reference them.That's not a knock on ya, Drummer. Just saying sometimes I feel like I dont know the team half as well as I think I do when I read your posts. 
And to whoever it was that asked if Kaep has a bad game against Atlanta if I'd second guess Harbaughs decision - not at all. This is a different team with Kaep at the helm, and he will only get better, which is bad news for the rest of the NFL.

I had heard the opposite during the offseason. I remember telling a fellow 9er fan that I had read that Kaep was progressing wayyy ahead of schedule, and when he had that good preseason game I got pretty excited about his future. That was about the time I started to believe that he could beat out Alex going into the 2013 season - I figured if Harbaugh worked that much magic in his first full offseason with Kaep, there was no reason to think he wouldn't be ready by 2013. I guess I underestimated the guru a bit and the rest is history.

Congrats 49er fans. You have found your qb of the future. Good luck in the big game
I'm happy to be wrong. The stat sheet isn't overwhelming (209 yds), but I'm surprised he didn't have more yards than that. It takes a special player to lead a team to the Super Bowl. But he did it down 17-0 on the road. He played a nearly flawless game. Despite two slow starts in the playoffs, he remained unphased and won both.Whether or not Smith could have done it this year, who knows, but Kaepernick just did it. Even though Ryan had more yards, CK played a better game than him. Ryan had the two turnovers (doesn't matter that SF didn't score off of them) but still had several other questionable throws (the softball to Rodgers in the flat and lob pass deep ball to Jones come to mind). So, congrats, I was wrong but let's hope he has one more spectacular performance left for this season.
