Game over. He had a great game. But he can’t beat Seahawks.

The Niners now have their quarterback of the future.

I hope Alex Smith will like it in Arizona.

Two great games today. I didn't have a dog in either fight, (albeit, I hate the Ravins ;~) but I enjoyed watching them.

Just damn good football in both games. I guess it was Underdog Saturday since both underdogs won.

Exciting stuff to watch, but his days are numbers. Running (vs. scrambling) quarterbacks don't have much longevity before an injury or two keeps them in the pocket. RG3 - case in point.

Grats to the Niners - we're now one step closer to a season finale Harbaugh Bowl! Go Ravens!!

What’s the difference between Kaepernick and Steve Young? Young was really the first of the “running quarterbacks” when he started out in the league.

I was a 49er fan since I was a kid in the 50s.

Now, not at all.

Since Friscans have made the choice to change the once-and-former "City" into such a (figurative and literal) urinal, I want their sports teams to lose.

I am only conflicted when they play the Raiders (whom I also used to support).

A lot of rookies would have folded after he threw the Pick 6, at the beginning of the game...I was very impressed with his poise....looks like the Niners have found their QB of the future.

Hopefully Alex Smith can catch on with another team, I know Arizona sure could use him.

Kaepernick is a more accurate passer than young at this stage of his career. Young was very raw when he first joined the niners and developed his skills while waiting for Joe Montana to leave.

Bobby Douglass, who played for the Bears in the early 1970s, was a big strong kid who did a lot of running. Ran for close to 1,000 yards one year (in a 14-game season).

Fran Tarkenton, who played int he '60s and '70s, didn't run as much, but he was quite the scrambler.

Falcons are hardly a favorite at home. Seahawks will get it done handily.

I thought going in Seattle and the Niners were the two best teams in the NFC.
