He was sacked what, like 7 times! Compared to 1 sack the 49ers gave up. Smith was getting pressure before he even finished his drop back. Yet the Chiefs with Smith still had a chance to win in the 4th quarter.

So what?

So o want Kaep to do more with more

After the GB playoff wins, I argued with friends that Kap was going to be better than Steve Young.

Its ok brother. We wont let Kaepernick hurt you anymore. enough is enough. It stops now!

The first play coming out of halftime, Kap had great pass protection and had Torrey WIDE open downfield for a TD.

Instead kap runs to his right for no reason and heaves a pass that is incredibly underthrown for an INT.

Yup. Pretty much all his 4 interceptions were on him. The last 2 were herrendous because he had so much time.

Yeah that guy Alex Smith too. Just a coincidence when Harbaugh showed up, Alex turned his career around.

You must not have been watching Smith in the last year with Singletary. Once Jimmy Raye was fired and Mike Johnson took over as OC, Smith's QB rating went over 90. Smith was already a very good QB BEFORE Harbaugh took over.

Harbaugh deserves credit for recognizing tat Alex was a much better option than any of the others out there, and he proved it by running Harbaugh's offense quite well. Harbaugh's mistake was in allowing his ego to give the job to Kaepernick instead of staying with Smith while carefully tutoring Kaepernick to become a complete NFL QB.

What Harbaugh should have done, was to recognize what every other pro scout recognized and that is that Kaepernick was a very raw talent that would take 3-4 years of careful training to develop. In the meantime, continue winning with Smith while Kaepernick was watching and learning what it takes to play at this level. Unfortunately, by putting Kaepernick in charge of a squad that was an odds-on Super Bowl contender Harbaugh committed to forcing Kap rely on his athletic ability and college-level technique in hopes of winning a ring. Sadly, that didn't work and now the franchise is paying the price for not properly developing a physically gifted player.

You can't be un-raped My injuries are more than emotional, there is no recovery.

what the hell is kap doing? first pass of the game he doesnt pull the trigger to the breaking out route. line isnt even an issue. he completes his drop but waits waits waits.

2nd gif is the next pick 6. double clutches and it's just horrible all around. as someone who loves Kap I cant defend this....

LMAO. You're probably one of the guys who blame the majority of Kap's 52 sacks on Kap himself. But when Alex takes 7 sacks it's on the oline.

It's inexcusable. I love Kap and will continue to support him, but he has to eliminate these mistakes from his game. 1st throw he was late throwing the ball, he needed to get rid of it once he hit his back foot. 2nd throw was even worse. Late going through the progression and threw off balance falling backward.

Don't know what to say, other than it was two horrible plays that would never happen if he played with proper mechanics. I like that he spent much of the off-season working on these issues, but he's still got plenty of work to do. He needs to learn how to sync the progression and the throw with his dropback.

it's more than just his mechanics. it's his mind. the first pick 6 he completed his drop, had good footwork, and should have fired it to VD on the out route. a route you CANNOT throw late. instead for whatever reason didn't pull the trigger until it was too late..

and the 2nd pick 6 he gets through his progressions just fine and is LOOKING at Boldin open on the curl, and double clutches. for no reason. instead he double clutches and throws way off his back foot. his mind to me was the cause of his awful mechanics.

I agree, he needs get his mind right. He has to be faster going through the progression and that includes pulling the trigger on time. Seeing the WR open is fruitless if you don't get the ball to him. There's just no excuse for it, he has to make these throws.
