Replacing Smith never bothered me...
The coach doen what he though was best for his team. I could care less about him being there 2 years. Something in practice said Kaepernick was better so thats why he is playing.

I hear so much about this at work....
The guy had 2 years under harbaugh to get better and he simply didn't
(according to the coach)

I agree for the most part except... If this had come at the start of the season I would feel differently.

It came at the end and in the playoffs.. Crybaugh knows that rookie mistakes are coming... better to have them in weeks 1-6 than -15-19.

The wise choice would have been Smith, Crybaugh went with the hot hand which was a gamble. In the end the gamble didn't win them a Super Bowl.

I may be in the minority but having seen Smith play for nearly two years, he has never shown me anything that would make me believe he couldn't have taken them just as far and won the SB.
