(Jacksonville, Cleveland and Carolina)*Andrew Luck, though he got walloped in New England, is still Alex’s favorite rookie quarterback.*The Eagles continue to further deteriorate on a weekly basis, and unfortunately, the team will have to wait until the offseason to make significant changes.*Ben Roethlisberger’s injury will have a major impact on the AFC playoff picture, as it essentially guarantees that Baltimore will be the second seed.*The Jets are mediocre because they have a mediocre roster, not because they talk a lot.2nd Down: On Monday Night Football this week, the 49ers and Bears both played their back-up quarterbacks. The 49ers, however, allowed Colin Kaepernick to throw early, whereas th...

Harbaugh: 49ers could mix and match quarterbacks
Alex Smith is supportive of Colin Kaepernick's success, even if the second-year pro takes Smith's starting job as 49ers quarterback.
Smith plans to fight for his job once he is fully healthy - and he had yet to be medically cleared Wednesday. Yet coach Jim Harbaugh said that once Smith is available, the starting QB for the NFC West-leading Niners (7-2-1) could change week...

Two QBs not better than one
I have yet to meet a head coach who wants to deal with a quarterback controversy. Coaches, as a rule, like certainty and stability. Quarterback controversies by definition lead to the opposite. They create distractions when you're seeking focus, and they can spark division when you're searching for togetherness.
Colin Kaepernick was brilliant on Monday night in leading San...
