The reffing was also atrocious. Lamichael James fumbling inside the 20. So many people to blame but it's easy to blame the QB I guess when it's Kap.

Originally posted by NCommand:Kap should be the last to be blamed. He was a very raw QB who was following HaRoman instructions. Hell, he even would have run in that TD as well. The kid played his heart out.

Agree. Its not kaps fault we never should have put the franchise on the shoulders of a pistol run and gun maniac in college who never played a snap of pocket qb in his four years in the desert.

jim harbaugh and colin Kapernick (aka the 26 year old "kid")
That's what's simple.

You can't just blame them. If you're talking about the turnover on downs at the end of super bowl that ended with a play that was a fade to crabs then it's more than just the coaching staffs fault. Yes, some of those plays were poor choices because I don't think a single fade in the corner of
He endzone worked during their entire tenure here but there was also previous plays that had people wide open, like Delani walked etc. so it was poor plays and poor reads by our qb and bad defense by our defense. They were injured but still didn't do a very good job, especially since they were historically good until the injuries happened
It was our staple...totally ill prepared to start the game, wasted a whole half, refs let the Ravens get away with murder because they hated Jim, Jim calls a panicky T.O. because once again, he couldn't get the play off on time, outcoached again, didn't recognize they were running a zero blitz for 4 straight plays so we had no easy outlet even after the T.O., CK stuck to the one read every time, etc.
That whole series was a micocasm of the same issues from coaching to play calling to no QB development.

What NC just said...was exactly what i meant. And no, i am NOT a fan of harbaw. LIked him for two yrs and then he proved he couldn't play call, couldn't develop players, couldn't develop his qb, couldn't and was an immature kid coaching in the bigs when he belonged in the college ranks. All is well now as he is safely tucked away in Ann Arbor. I am glad for him, but i am delighted for us. Tomsul and Chip? Just bad memories to go along wiht the rest of the last 16-17 yrs. Gone...and forgotten.

Sadly, Alex was the only one on the sidelines who knew what the Ravens were trying to do and wondered why we didn't have a hot read also.
...his one full season under harbs (2011) he was 12th in comp%, 19th in yards, 17th in TDs, and 17th in YPA. Originally posted by NCommand:also talk to the wunderkind DC we had who thought it was a nice idea to have our two all pro healthy linebackers set around playing checkers in pass coverage while joe ate up and exposed our poor secondary that day.

Originally posted by NYniner85:Alex smith a top 10 QB
We were the 29th ranked team in passing, yet we were 8th in rushing and the 4th overall D.
Alex is the definition of a game manager. He's not gonna turn the ball over (only 5 ints that yr) and he's never gonna throw it down field (poor YPA). Our system was perfect for him with the elite D and power running game...ask him to make all these crazy comebacks and you're in trouble.
Calling him a top 10 QB is silly.

Originally posted by NoelC:So why was he benched . He had them at 6-2. Was top 5 in qb rating. During 2012. Benched for being hurt? HE never lost his job due to performance.
