Via Larry Brown Sports  |  November 30, 2012
Colin Kaepernick has officially been given the chance to become the next face of the San Francisco 49ers, and so far he has answered the call.

Via Fox Sports Midwest  |  December 02, 2012
ST. LOUIS Colin Kaepernick stumbled. He also glided in the open field, threw fist pumps and showed flashes of what can be a rich future. Kaepernick walked from the Edward Jones Dome as the reason for the San Francisco 49ers loss. He also left as someone worthy of coach Jim Harbaughs trust. Be smart with the ball, said the second-year quarterback, after losing to the St. Louis...

Alex Smith (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Now if you have listened to my show at all in the last two weeks on the BTR Network (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/letstalknfl), you know exactly where I am about to go.  The whole benching Alex Smith this late in the season for basically a rookie is just asinine.  Now I am not an Alex Smith fan by any means, but common sense is common sense...

Via GridironFans.com  |  December 02, 2012
It appears Jim Harbaugh is staying with Colin Kaepernick despite his uneven performance against the Rams. The 49ers and Kaepernick, who finished was 21 of 32 for 208 yards, failed to adjust to the Rams in the second half and also failed to stay in bounds at the end of regulation, which allowed the Rams enough time to go down the field for the tying score. Kaepernick also air...
