Probably Kaepernick. When he's at his best his athleticism brings another dimension. But I'm not sure he'll ever be top echelon. If I had to choose one I'd probably take him, simply based on potential. But I'm not sure I'd be much more content than I am with Smith.

Yep. Just like the time we traded Brady for Cassel.

I just wish this FO understood that when you sign a FA player that it doesnt mean you have to give his previous team 2 2nd round picks. Ohwell, live and learn I guess. They'll get better at this eventually... I hope. |

Kaepernick adds a playmaking dimension with his legs that only a couple of other QBs possess, but he struggles with touch and accuracy in the short passing game, and he hasn'y progressed beyond the 1 read progression as a passer, which is a concern for a QB going into his 4th season in the league.
And even with that 1 read, his decision making is questionable. I have grown to really like Smith, but he is going to be 30, and he actually makes the argument for Kaepernick stronger with his progression. I think Harbaugh is overrated as a guy that works with QBs. Smith grew more in one season with Reid than he did in 2 with Harbaugh. Give me Kaepernick with Reid.

In a heart beat.
People let their hate judge his performance. Like most fans feel bad for Alex Smith so they say he's good lol. Manziel is a douche, but that doesn't change the fact that he's a bad ass. |

The fact that this is such a tough question makes me think about what a strange move it was to bench him in 2012.
Those here that hated the move kept referring to Smith as just another backup QB, or another team's trash. But Smith was winning, and was the highest rated QB in the league at the time of his injury. I guess Harbaugh just liked that extra athletic dimension Kaepernick offered, but it was a weird move that I think confused some of the fans and players too. |

I don't think it's a weird move, in harbaugh a system, Kaep has a higher upside due to his legs.
Like milkman, I think Harbaugh is a little overrated as a qb guru. |
