The 49ers have announced Colin Kaepernick as their Week 13 starter at quarterback.There will be no manufactured drama this week. “Colin, we believe, has the hot hand and we’ll go with Colin,” coach Jim Harbaugh said. It’s the easy — and correct — call for a team that’s far more dynamic on offense with Kaepernick under center. The more film teams have to study, the harder...

Nobody is safe in Goldson/Whitner danger zone
There's a price to pay for those who venture across the middle of the San Francisco 49ers' defense. Dashon Goldson and Donte Whitner are making sure of that, roaming the center of the field with impunity and delivering the kind of pain that’s leaving fear in their wake throughout the NFL.
Writer defends tattoo criticism of QB
Colin Kaepernick's arms are full of tattoos. This, apparently, ensures that the San Francisco 49ers quarterback will never, ever be a legitimate hero for the NFL -- or even the 49ers. It also means that the golden age of "good old boys" under center in the National Football League is just about over.
