Let me start by saying that the future of this team is under Colin Kaepernick. I understand that Alex Smith was keeping the QB spot warm, until Harbaugh found his guy. I’m ready and looking forward to the Colin Kaepernick Era, but just not now.
The 49ers have four games left in the season and in order to win the West they need to win three of four or win two of four as long as one of those wins is against the Seattle Seahawks. Realistically, the Seahawks can win out. They have games against the Cardinals, Bills, 49ers and Rams. Of those four, three of them are in Seattle. At this time the 49ers can not afford anymore games like they played against the Rams. The 49ers need to win out and lock up that bye week in the playoffs.
Alex Smith is leading the NFL in completion percentage, before being benched he was 27 of 29 for over 400 yards and 4 touchdowns. Alex is smart and does his best to avoid turnovers. With that being said, Alex Smith should be the starting QB and not Colin Kaepern...

49ers Could Look To Trade Alex Smith During The Offseason
Matt Maiocco of the CSN Bay Area makes the case for the 49ers to trade QB Alex Smith during the offseason.
Smith would lock in a $7.5 million next season if he’s still on their roster as of April 1st, which happens to be a pretty high salary for a backup quarterback. Maiocco adds that San Francisco would still have to pay him $1 million if they were to release Smith before...

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...
Kaepernick still an unknown for 49ers
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...
The mad, mad world of Jim Harbaugh – and why he’s right

49ers Fall In Overtime To Rams 16-13 After Kaepernick's Mistake-Filled Day
For the second time in three weeks, the St. Louis Rams and San Francisco 49ers battled past regulation in a hard-fought NFC West tussle but unlike their Week 10 meeting, Sunday's eerily similar tilt ended with a winner, as Greg Zuerlein connected on a 54-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining in OT to give the Rams a 16-13 victory at Edward Jones Dome.

49ers Coach Jim Harbaugh Says He's Sticking With QB Colin Kaepernick
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...

49ers vs. Rams: Thumbs up and thumbs down
Which way does the thumb turn for the 49ers after their 16-13 overtime loss at St. Louis on Sunday, including David Akers missing again in the clutch, a dagger through the heart of the NFC West leaders, a ridiculous pitch with victory at hand, Colin Kaepernick’s keen escapability, Dashon Goldson not thinking on his feet, classic Aldon Smith, Ted Ginn just not the same and much...
