Almost feel bad for the guy, not sure if it's the right decision either.
ppening, when a QB that's been as solid as Smith has, basically having the best season of his career, gets benched after a 6-2 start for a rookie, and it wasn't injury related?
A ballsy decision yet seemingly little upside unless the 49ers win every game left. The 9ers are currently on top of their division and are very close to being the best in the NFC. Seems like a formula you do not mess with. Harbaugh must be thoroughly convinced the new guy makes the team better. Yet the new guy is a rookie. He will have rookie bumps in the road coming.....especially in the playoffs. This decision is a WOW!
If I am Smith I am on the phone with my agent....
Though not being benched for a rookie, Doug Flutie led the 1999 Bills to 10-5 record and was benched by Wade Phillips with one game left and playoff game for Rob Johnson who lost in the first round (Music City Miracle) . Flutie was solid and many questioned the wisdom of the move, rightfully so.
We can only hope it blows up in Harbaugh's face, cause I find it kind of crappy to do this to Smith. He'll find a job though.
Does anyone know of a similar situation like this happening, when a QB that's been as solid as Smith has, basically having the best season of his career, gets benched after a 6-2 start for a rookie, and it wasn't injury related?
told smith colin was replacing him and it wasn't based on health

Tom Brady replacing Drew Bledsoe. Bledsoe never got his job back.

Sounds more like to me Harbaugh is messing with the Saints gameplan.

hes got cahones thats for sure, if this guy throws a pick to lose a game in the playoffs hes gonna be second guessed to death, if they dont make it to the super bowl he'll be second guessed.
