Found November 19, 2012 on Pro Sports Daily: Yardbarker Blogger Network

Monday Night Football will be a battle of the backups pitting Jason Campbell and the Chicago Bears versus Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers. That's because both starters have been ruled out due to concussions. Alex Smith of the 49ers was not cleared by an independent neurologist, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported, and can't play based on the NFL's concussion protocol. The Bears ruled their own quarterback, Jay Cutler, out because of concussion symptoms. Cutler was concussed when he was hit in the helmet by Texans linebacker Tim Dobbins last Sunday night. Campbell replaced Cutler behind center to start the third quarter. Kaepernick played the entire second half and overtime in Smith's stead, completing 11 of 17 passes for 117 yards and rushing for 66 yards and a touchdown.

No long-term answer in Niners' QB debate

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  November 17, 2012
Even as Alex Smith takes the first snap for the 49ers Monday night in Chicago, the debate over who should be the starting quarterback is far from over. In fact, that is not even the big question for a team that wants more than a mere starter. What the 49ers are seeking is the next franchise quarterback. Following a week where a concussion led to discussion, if not controversy...

49ers Injury Report: Alex Smith or Collin Kaepernick?

Via NFL Injury Report  |  November 21, 2012
The San Francisco 49ers shouldn’t start Colin Kaepernick on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints because he’s the hot hand but because the Niners should “make the smart call” about Alex Smith’s health, according to Bruce Jenkins of the San Francisco Chronicle. The 49ers should start Colin Kaepernick against New Orleans on Sunday because somebody, somewhere, has...

Via Pro Football Zone  |  November 20, 2012
After a very impressive performance by second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh doesn’t sound like he’s ready to have Alex Smith reclaim his starting job. Harbaugh hinted at going with the “hot hand,” according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen. 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh on QB starter next time out, Smith or Kaepernick: We’ll see.Tend...

Jay Cutler ‘felt bad’ for Jason Campbell

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  November 21, 2012
Jay Cutler missed Monday night’s Bears-49ers game because he was recovering from a concussion, and backup quarterback Jason Campbell struggled in his place. Campbell was sacked six times and pressured 11 times during the 32-7 loss. He went 14/22 for 107 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions in the loss, and his offensive line hardly afforded him a chance to compete against...

NinersDigest’s Craig Massei and BearReport’s Jeremy Stoltz go Behind Enemy Lines to preview Monday night’s NFC showdown of division leaders between the Bears and 49ers. Can the NFL’s fourth-ranked rushing defense keep Frank Gore in check? Can Alex Smith protect the football and get it to his top targets?

Plan B Bowl: Kaepernick as Flynn, Campbell as a Piñata.

Via Bay Sports Nut  |  November 20, 2012
Bear Hug The Plan B Bowl was as anti-climactic as many expected (unless you live by the bay, in which case we happily accepted it).  Not because it was a 6-5 dud fest, but because one team was aware there was a football game going on tonight.  Colin Kaepernick did his best impersonation of Matt Flynn, creating a quarterback controversy for the next 48 hours.  Jason Campbell meanwhile...

Key Matchup: Bears Receiving Core Against 49ers Secondary

Via Bears Backer  |  November 17, 2012
There is no doubt the return of rookie wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will help the Chicago Bears’ offense on Monday night. But against a very stingy San Francisco 49ers pass defense it could be tough for backup quarterback Jason Campbell to find any open receivers. The 49ers’ defense allow the least amount of points per game (14.1), the third least total yards per game (292.1...

The Chicago Bears (7-2) travel to Candlestick Park on Monday night to battle the San Francisco 49ers (6-2-1). The Bears are 29-31-1 all-time against the 49ers. Since 1985, the Chicago Bears are 0-7 against the 49ers in San Francisco.
