49ers Coach Jim Harbaugh Says QB Alex Smith Is 'Our Guy'

PLAYERS: Jim Harbaugh,  Alex Smith,  Colin Kaepernick,  Peyton Manning
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers,  Indianapolis Colts

49ers quarterback Alex Smith will be a free agent this offseason but it is highly unlikely he will be made available to any of the 31 other teams in the NFL. According to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com, the 49ers' braintrust is "unanimous" in their desire to bring Smith back as their starting quarterback. "We're all in lockstep as an organization that Alex Smith is our guy," said head coach Jim Harbaugh. "It's well-documented. You saw the way he played this year. (He is a) tremendous leader on our football team." Harbaugh will open the job up to competition between Smith and Colin Kaepernick after Smith is re-signed but Smith is firmly expected to win that battle. It is extremely unlikely that the 49ers will enter the Peyton Manning sweepstakes.

49ers haven’t started contract talks with Alex Smith

Via Pro Football Zone  |  February 07, 2012
According to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee, the San Francisco 49ers haven’t started any contract talks with quarterback Alex Smith.  Head coach Jim Harbaugh has confirmed that he wants to bring Smith back for next season. Harbaugh may want to re-sign Smith, but if a team comes in and makes Smith an offer that he can’t refuse and the 49ers won’t match, he might be headed elsewhere.  

Colin Kaepernick determined to become the 49ers starter

Via Pro Football Zone  |  February 07, 2012
Rookie quarterback Colin Kaepernick was drafted in 2011 by the San Francisco 49ers and head coach Jim Harbuagh to become a potential starter down the road. But after a great season by Alex Smith, no one is sure when Kaepernick will get on the field and really show what he can do.  Especially since Harbaugh has indicated that he wants Smith back. During a question and answer on RGJ...

Kaepernick expects “fair shot” to win starting job over Smith

Via Pro Football Talk  |  February 08, 2012
Conventional wisdom last offseason said that it was only a matter of time before Colin Kaepernick started games for the San Francisco 49ers. Conventional wisdom did not expect the 49ers to make the NFC Championship game with Alex Smith starting every game. Kaepernick spent the year on the bench, which probably wasn’t a bad thing for…

So long, “Mount Pain”

Via Pro Football Talk  |  February 10, 2012
Former 49ers coach Mike Singletary was into giving bombastic speeches. He like old school drills like the “Nutcracker.” His penchant for bold gestures was perhaps best symbolized by “Mt. Pain.” Singletary built a hill in 2009 at the 49ers practice facility for players to run up. Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee says Jim Harbaugh…

49ers give GM Trent Baalke an extension

Via Pro Football Zone  |  February 10, 2012
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the San Francisco 49ers have given general manager Trent Baalke a three-year extension that will keep him in the bay area through the 2016 season. Baalke rightfully deserved an extension with the hiring of head coach Jim Harbaugh and the wonderful job he’s done acquiring players through the draft.  Because of him, the 49ers will be the class...
