HOw you guys can sit here and try and justify this decision is beyond me. A QB that was playing as well as Alex Smith deserved to finish out the year.....PERIOD.

If you wanna go to Kaepernick......then fine....but do that shit next season and either let Smith walk or have an open competition in camp. To just bench him if really shortsighted......and Harbaugh is trying to pass it off as the opposite.

What people don't realize is all that shit that Smith went through is VALUABLE. The guys is a good QB and once he got a good coaching staff and good players around him it showed. I think he would have continued to build on that.

Enjoy your playoff loss with Kaepernick.
