Sometimes we we look up to professional athletes for all the wrong reasons. Alex gives us real good reasons to root for him as a person and athlete. There would be immense entertainment value in seeing him come into a game that is on the line during these playoffs and leading the Niners to victory. The emotion, the drama, the feel good story is too good of a script to put down.

“Alex, we didn’t go after Peyton Manning and you’re still the starter.”

There is one thing Kaepernick cannot prepare with….he has never played on a post-season stage before. Any player that has can explain the benefits of having done so. Packers 27, San Francisco 17.

There’s not enough balance on that Packers team to beat the 49ers, regardless of who they start at QB. Green Bay has too many holes in their game (defense, offensive line). San Fran is strong in every facet of the game. Ultimately, the strongest overall team generally wins in the playoffs. Balance is king. And the 49ers are just consistently better on both sides of all the ball.

Although as a Seahawk fan, I’m really rooting for Green Bay because our team would be absolutely jacked out of their minds to go into Lambeau and destroy that team. I think the emotional boost from that could carry the Seahawks to a SuperBowl win, but meh… San Fran’s too consistently good. I’m not counting on the Packers this weekend. The only way they win is through luck.

Not a fan of either team, really.
I was kind of a fan of the 9ers last season, not least because of the Alex Smith “redemption” storyline.

Not so much this year. Don’t really pull for the Packers, and I have nothing against Kaepernick, but I find myself hoping that the karmic wheel turns on Harbaugh in this round.

I am, and probably always will be an Alex fan. And did not take well his being replaced. However, I understand it. And ironically, I think if Alex still does not yet know the root cause of the QB change, he should read his own words hereon, especially the parts about decision making, and “….how fast he can process things mentally…” – those two specifics that cost Alex his job.

Alex still moves pretty well in the pocket for a guy with a knife in his back.

I hope the Bengals go for Smith in the offseason.Love Andy Dalton but I think it will push Andy to play better knowing he’s got competition..
