Jim Harbaugh likes the fact that 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick works hard in the offseason. But he’s a little worried that Kaepernick could be overdoing it. In fact, Kaepernick works so hard in the weight room that Harbaugh is worried his upper body could be getting so big and muscular that it could affect his…

The 2013 offseason already has a theme. Stop the read option. We’ve heard it from coaches and from General Managers.  Defensive coordinators are pissed about the ability of quarterbacks to play a Jedi mind trick by simply putting the ball in the stomach of the tailback and then making a decision as to whether to…

San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick is a happy man with today’s news that the 49ers have traded for receiver Anquan Boldin. Kaepernick told Trey Wingo on NFL Live that no one had officially informed him that the trade with the Ravens to acquire Boldin was on, but that he was already getting excited about the…

It’s easy to suggest that former Dolphins draft bust Pat White was simply ahead of his time. But as he prepares to take advantage of the success of other smaller, mobile quarterbacks by working out at West Virginia’s pro day in hopes of an NFL return, White knows it’s not as simple as having bad…

The San Francisco 49ers were one score away from capturing the Lombardi Trophy in 2012, and Mike Florio breaks down what they need to do this off-season to get over that hump.

The Super Bowl happened more than a month ago.  But since it was one of the more memorable Super Bowls in NFL history, there’s still stuff about the game worth mentioning. Especially when people who played in the game are still mentioning it. Appearing on WHB in Kansas City (via SportsRadioInterviews.com), 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith…

Three years ago, former Eagles coach Andy Reid fleeced the Redskins for a second-round pick for quarterback Donovan McNabb.  Now, it looks like Reid could be the fleecee. Regardless of whether Alex Smith works out better for the Chiefs than McNabb did for the Redskins, the Niners have landed a high second-round pick this year…

West Virginia’s Geno Smith may be the best quarterback in this year’s NFL draft. He’s definitely the fastest. Smith turned in a 4.56-second 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine on Sunday morning, the best 40 time of any quarterback in this year’s draft class. Running in the 4.5s puts Smith on par with what Russell…
