So going by best year Kap. Overall, Smith.
Both arent saying much.
Originally posted by CJ75:Game manager who threw for nearly 4,000 yards last year. This argument is getting stale.
Kap & Jimmy are both very flawed & very different QB's who played on stacked rosters. They're sorta odd to compare.
No team has ever "feared" Jimmy like peak Kaepernick though. Jimmy was a hidden game manager in Shanahan's scheme where as Kaepernick was a bigger playmaker. Kaepernick also had the faster regression but Jimmy constantly gets injured. Couldn't care less which one people think is better though, they both failed to get it done.

The nostalgia for Kap is mind boggling. Jimmy is by far the superior *quarterback* in every aspect of what goes into the position.
Footwork, mechanics, accuracy, reading progressions, throwing a catchable ball. Kap was a raw athlete posing as a QB. Jimmy may not be the long term solution for us moving forward, but I'll go with the guy who passed for essentially 4,000 yards and 27 TDs with a bunch of conservative 4th quarters in blowouts... over the guy who struggled to throw for 200 yards per game.

What a low bar. JG, Alex and Kaep all had some good points but also had enough bad points to keep them from becoming great.

What were the ranks of our defenses vs their defenses ? Because you know, qbs play against opposite defenses, not against each other.
I understand the media wants to make it sound like boxing matches, but football is played with 22 people.
Over last 10 years, our teams got carried by great defenses and run game. This isn't to say some of our QBs have had some good success in the playoffs and even had some signature moments (Saints, Falcons comebacks, Kaep running over GB, near-comeback in SB in 2012)

I'd have to agree with this.
Jimmy has yet to put together a year of dominance like kaepernick.
Jimmy has yet to show sustainability and above average play for multiple years like Alex from 2011-2018.
Best year? Kaepernick.
Best sustained success? Alex smith
