Aren't the 49ers two time divisional champions with Alex Smith as their opening day starter?
I mean, without his injury last year, Kaepernick doesn't take over Alex Smith's spot, because Alex Smith was on fire last year when he went down. I don't want to take away from harbaugh here, because he put a solid team together and coached them well, and deserves the credit, but he won two divisional championships with Alex Smith as his starting QB. I see no reason why we couldn't do that here with a very similar offense in a less competitive division. |

Alex Smith is an efficient game manager.
Colin Kaepernick is a dynamic playmaker.

He ****ing broke his leg in the third game of the 2012 season. His first season as a starter. You are saying you didn't like what he did in the first two games? That he didn't show enough to make you feel that he needed to improve on some aspects of his game? That he needed to progress? |

And I don't understand why people keep thinking he's still nursing/affected by his leg injury. It was a relatively clean break that didn't require surgery. He simply was going to require to be in a cast and a boot for a long enough period that they decided to put him on the IR. It's not like he blew out every ligament in his knee or something. If anyone needs to be worried about someone on the line, they should be worried about our first pick in the draft who has as many question marks for an overall #1 pick as you possibly could have. I mean, Fisher is coming out of a FBS school who hasn't matched up consistently with top level guys. He's going to have a pretty steep learning curve and there is the chance that he won't get it. And I'm not so sure about Dorsey/Reid's thought process that he can play any position on the line. He's pretty long and I'd be worried about him being effective playing inside the phone booth if he struggles at edge protection. People think just because this guy went #1 overall that he's going to be an All-Pro, but it was a really risky pick just based on measurables (which were good, but not better than what we already had in Don Stephenson) and a good Senior Bowl performance. (And Senior Bowl performances should be taken with a large measure of salt lest you end up with another Ryan Sims.) |

Eric Fisher is very, very polished. If you watched him at the Senior Bowl he has almost perfect mechanics. His learning curve will be approximately the same, if not less so, than everybody else in the draft (save Joeckel, who's 100% readymade). To say shit like Donald Stephenson's measurables are comparable isn't entirely incorrect -- but Stephenson has had to gain a ton of strength. Fisher won't. Central Michigan has churned out Joe Staley, an All Pro caliber left tackle. Fisher is bigger and stronger, just as athletic, with just as great mechanics. |
