After another big win, 49ers QBs still in limbo

Posted November 26, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Jim Harbaugh,  Alex Smith,  Colin Kaepernick
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers
Jim Harbaugh has watched each of his two quarterbacks lead the San Francisco 49ers to big wins in hostile, road environments - Alex Smith in the season opener at Green Bay's Lambeau Field back in September, and Colin Kaepernick on Sunday at the New Orleans Superdome. Which one gets the ball on Sunday at St. Louis? Harbaugh is still mum on that, though he did say Monday he will formally announce his starting quarterback by mid-week so the players don't have to face constant questions about what they know about the situation. The NFC West-leading Niners (8-2-1) now own the second-best record in the NFC behind Atlanta as they head to face the Rams in a game that will mean plenty for both teams after their 24-24 tie Nov. 11. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

In today’s installment of As the Quarterback Turns, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh went out of his way to speak fondly of Alex Smith. Harbaugh, in his weekly Monday news conference, said he probably will announce Sunday’s starter against St. Louis on Wednesday — because he doesn’t want his players to field a barrage of “Who’s the QB?” questions all week, as they did last week...

It Appears Kapernick is the Answer for the 49ers

Via Sports Blog Net  |  November 26, 2012
As you probably know by now, I'm a huge fan of the San Francisco 49ers and have been ever since I can remember. So can imagine how great I feel to see the 'Niners do well. Before last season, I haven't been able to say that for a while, since the 49ers didn't make the playoffs every year since the '02-'03 season. To be honest, I didn't expect the team...

Don’t feel sorry for Alex Smith

Via The Camel Clutch Blog  |  November 28, 2012
The reaction to Alex Smith losing the San Francisco 49ers starting gig to Colin Kaepernick has been strange to say the least. Smith has received an outpouring of sympathy and support from fans and media who apparently just started watching Smith play in 2011.

Straight Outta Stockton - Week 12

This week's Straight Outta Stockton could easily be renamed Straight Outta Aikman as the lead NFL on Fox analyst had a rough time during yesterday's Saints-49ers game.  While a few of those are noted below, I have to pay tribute to the work Aikman is doing to the English language.  Multiple times during Sunday's telecast, Aikman said "I don't disagree"...

Report: Alex Smith could be done in San Francisco

Via Pro Football Zone  |  November 25, 2012
According to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, this could be quarterback Alex Smith’s final season with the San Francisco 49ers if he doesn’t regain his starting spot now that Colin Kaepernick has taken over as Niners’ lead  signal-caller. The 49ers didn’t draft Kaepernick in the 4th round of the 2011 draft to sit and watch.  It’s obvious that he’s ready to take over as their...
