Well to be fair he did cost them the second Rams game pretty much single-handedly. He ran 20+ yards backwards when pressured into the endzone for a safety and then in a terrible play late in the game he pitched the ball way over the head of the rb on an option play deep in their own territory resulting in a recovery and defensive touchdown by the Rams. Niner fans all knew that Kaep was Harbaugh's guy for the long term, but a lot of them felt the switch was a mistake because the team was already a super bowl contender with Smith and giving the reigns to an unproven guy was risky. I still think they could've won the superbowl with Smith, but Kaep did play well down the stretch.
