Are we facing Colin Kaepernick Sunday?

pumpkindriver · 11-21-2012, 12:18 AM

You can rest assured that Smith will be the starting QB. Kaepernick is a 2nd year guy with limited experience and while he looked good in one game it doesn't get him the starting job. Theres a ton of examples of back ups having great games. Make a few plays on defense, get a couple of key stops and Drew and co. will take care of the rest.

Whoever the "hot" hand is will hopefully be "cold" by the end of the game.

My concerns are with their defense.

You think we played Manning well? You're talking about Peyton Manning, this year? We were awful against him. But at least you're right, in that we won't be facing the same type of offense. Though Denver isn't exactly a juggernaut... We just happened to make them look that way.

Props to Peyton, he's great, but I think our Def went into "oh ****" mode and actually made him look alot better.

Harsh...but effective

Kaepernick will give us tons of problems. He has a bigger arm, he can throw accurately deep. He seems fast as hell. He was drafted by Harbaugh. He is the guy.

Be prepared to see both... Smith will have a bad day... Kaepernick will be forced to come in and TRY and save the game.
In the end he will fail and we can all do our Dr. Evil laugh

I think Smith is done. Decent game manager but below avg on everything else. If their defense has a bad game he can't dig you out of a hole.

Whoever is SF49 qb, Saints job will be to have defense tackle. Tackle. Run and tackle and make some big plays. Game changers. Get it back for offense. Pic one or two off 49'ers' qb .
Saints offense needs to protect Brees, and hold and keep their time and to get ball to rb's, etc.
Hapernick is young, tall, strong. He showed up really something special last week. I had to google this guy.
Saints offense and defense, just period, have to bring it.
Finish strong!!!!! Finish strong.

QB controversy = team division.
