Jim Harbaugh has just announced that CK will be their starter for the Rams game.

As a Pats fan I have mixed feelings about this decision. On one hand, I can understand his decision because Colin has certainly proved to be a very good QB, and I'm definitely NOT looking to seeing Colin facing the Pats in a couple of weeks. He's been on fire and has demonstrated he can perform in one of the loudest arenas on the road.

On the other hand, I have a feeling this decision will come back to bite the Niners in the a55 because there is really nothing wrong with Alex Smith. I have a hunch Colin will take them into the off season just to lay a major egg in a one and done post season, and this decision will ultimately cost them a Superbowl berth - Maybe a loss as early as their visit to the Pats?

I hope Keapernick's inexperience will be the downfall of the 49ers in a few weeks. He's a talented playmaker at the QB position but he's no match against TFB.

And I agree. The 49ers will be a 1 and done in the post season. Drew Brees Threw for 5 TD passes last game and how did the San Fran still win it? Because 2 of those TD passes were to players on the 49ers.

Obviously he's not match against TB, but their pass rush, their receivers, and the whole team, are VERY GOOD. They are very physical and play aggressive football. They will be the toughest team the Pats will have played against, this season. A win over the Niners will be the ultimate test and the ultimate boost going into the off-season.

Right, they are a great team on many levels. I don't typically look at it as QB vs QB but I just don't see Keapernick putting up any near the amount of points that Brady will.

"Colin Kaepernick is our starter this week"

...."and next week...and the week after, and the week after..."

CK has put up 87 points in 11 or so quarters and I would not be shocked if he had a 300yd game and SF put up between 21-31 points vs the Pats. Would you?

Only time will tell if the kid is ready for the stress of playoff football. Different subject altogether.

He looked sharper than Smith in both games and it looks like he could give them a more potent offense. He's a first year starter, but not a rookie and still has plenty of time to get some experience before the playoffs.

I personally still don't see how you can justify benching a guy playing as good as Smith at this point in the season. Off-season I would see no issue with it. But right now, even Harbaugh admitted that Smith's done nothing to lose his job, and is having his best year.

If Colin maintains his level of play though, SF's certainly making an argument for being the most potent team in the league on all sides of the ball now. At the very least, it will set them apart from the rest of the NFC.

We could be looking at a Superbowl preview in 3 weeks.

Looking forward to seeing Alex Smith in the Wildcat.

Kaepernick's catching a break for the 3rd week in a row. He gets the Rams defense this week.
