Conventional wisdom says you don't bench your starting QB due to injury especially since he's been playing well before that. However, Harbaugh is anything but conventional. He eats, breathes, sleeps and sexes competition.
The question is if he thinks Alex is dynamic enough to make a full SB run if the defense plays as inconsistently as they have been this year. I'm concerned the same formula that worked last year isn't quite as effective this year and they might need the extra dimension that Alex doesn't have the physical tools to provide. Maybe they'll click and play more consistent, who knows, but I would be surprised if CK is as bad as the collection you threw out there.

harbaugh knows exactly what he's doing, and he has known all along. they have been bringing kap along slowly.... a play here, a play there, but then it really started to hurt the team in the giants game (big play by alex and then kap comes in and stalls momentum).
this is why if he says kap or alex is the starter then i'm pretty confident in his decision

Where's the victory post already?!! All these mouthy Bears fans and you haven't gone off yet!
Exactly. He showed comfort in the pocket and was slanging it. He had a few overthrows, but nothing that I would call a bad pass.
But! That Niners team dominated in all aspects. Kaepernick didn't have to show the stuff that makes good QBs good QBs. His line kept him clean. His run game was unrepentant. He passed the test with a curve. It still remains to be seen if he is up to a truly rigorous examination.

if i feel slighted by a team or a fanbase then i will have something to say! this was a mellow game that we controlled beginning to end. plus i've been here all night commenting on the game! haven't you enjoyed it!?
sounds like you're jealous that you're stuck with kubiak and the niners have a real coach. don't project your hate unto us!
what's the point of watching sports if you can't appreciate greatness?
One thing I am worried about is a third string tackle will have to hold off Aldon Smith. This could be interesting, although the Saints have gotten by with a torn up Oline before and Brees is pretty good at eluding the sack. Will have to chip block more with RB/TEs but I think they can make it work.

harbs has as many playoff wins in 1 season as kubiak has had in 17 seasons or however long that shitbag has been your coach!
p.s.
i consider having to beat the jags in overtime worse than tying the rams

go watch hockey you doucher!
No one understands Tabris. I went to the hockey thread to ask how to handle it and I think the consensus was a burlap sack and the nearest river.

He will wait until one of their sons starts playing football.
a win is in no way shape or form worse than a tie against the st louis rams that were just blown out by the pathetic jets
you TIED the rams son. let that marinate
kubiak > harbaughz
Hate football again? Never hated Football. I just didn't follow football before Peyton Manning. My first Sunday I ever watched (except when I was a kid watching the niners with Jerry Rice) in 2006 had Peyton Manning and the Colts and instantly I was memorized, and instantly that was my player. And instantly I hated Tammy. I adopted Eli the next year.
I have 10+ years and 3-4 extra superbowl rings to decide what happens when the Mannings both retire.
Who do you guys think the best coaches in the league are at the moment?
I'd list these guys, not sure how I'd rank them:
Tom Coughlin
Jim Harbaugh (admittedly I'm biased here)
John Harbaugh
Bill Belicheck
Mike McCarthy
Sean Payton
Mike Tomlin
and maybe Mike Smith (but he really needs to get at least one playoff win).

Either way, it'll be revenge on one of those teams for a Superbowl Loss.
Texans' Wade Philips
every single person in this thread (except maybe pats fans) would trade their coach for harbaugh. if they say they wouldn't they are either lying or stupid.
Based on what?

Niners with Kaep are unstoppable. You are already dead etc.
Yes. In fact you shouldn't be asking or waiting for responses but should be watching already.
Almost crying laughing at this. Love the ESPN "analysis" sometimes.
Anyways, great night for the Niners. Awesome to Aldon Smith picking it up the last few weeks and for the defense to respond after last week's lackluster effort.
I just wish I had gotten tickets to tonight's game instead of last week. Had to sit through a tie with the fucking Rams instead of witnessing Monday night domination from Kap and coompany. Oh well.
I wouldn't argue that Wade Phillips is the best D coordinator in the league.
I still marvel at how he turned that Texans D around. Yeah, there's some hiccups but they're not the laughable bunch of years past.
No.
I am extremely hopeful that we get Payton back.
Wouldnt trade him for anyone else. When he's gone, I suppose Harbaugh would be my second most revered coach. I certainly respect the guy, but I love watching Payton's offenses. Beauty in motion.

Lol I'm a Falcons fan but time clock management, short yardage play calling, challenges, being a bitch when you're getting blown out, when to go for it on 4th down, football iq, damn you're making me depressed :/

Tomlin has made some terrible calls this year. And not taking Leftwich out of last night's game was another one. I would not put him among the top coaches in the league at the moment.
Honestly, was trying to come up with some AFC coaches so I went with a guy who had won a Superbowl.

No Greg Schiano?
All of them had great talent on there team. Take talent away and you won't recognize them from Wayne fontes
It's so subjective especially with most head coaches because the offensive/defensive coordinators pretty much call the play and run the show. Head coaches get too much credit and blame

I'd rather have Pete Carroll. Harbaugh doesn't care about his players. He's an egomaniac and a douchebag. He also looks like Rob Dyrdek mixed with Bill Paxton. David Shaw and Andrew Luck were clearly the brains behind Stanford's success.
Also, Matt Flynn is better than Alex and Cap combined.
