Colin Kaepernick looks unbelievable

Correction:

According to ESPN, they have changed his total to 5.5 sacks tonight, breaking Jared Allen's record of 4.5 on a Monday Night.

His fifth sack forced a fumble. He now has 15 sacks this season, to go with 14 in his rookie season last year.

Here are all 5.5 sacks on NFL.com:

No one is arguing that he had a phenomenal night, obviously he did. The point being is that criticizing our FO for not drafting a guy that was never available to us, to a player who's responsibility is not solely to rush the passer seems pointless. It's like saying, look what AD is doing, why can't green or lex hilliard do that. Everyone knows Smith is a stud, but I fail to see any type of rational argument here.

You started the argument, with yourself, so no rational argument is right.

I thought you were gonna come to blows......

What does Alex Smith's contract extension look like? Mark Sanchez for Alex Smith? Sanchez to bench in San Fran...

Why would anyone in their right mind take on the NFL's 40th or so best QB at like 11 million guaranteed to be a backup? They already have a better QB in Smith who knows the system, this would make no sense for SF.

kap is in his second year and gets playing time in the wildcat? Is that so special? Also i believe they didnt think Smith would be so good when they got kaps.

Alex smith is playing really well i dont get how you think they would just dump him regardless of how well hes playing. That doesnt make sense

Alex Smith has been playing well, but Harbaugh said they are going to go with the Hot Hand. We'll see how it shakes out, but you don't move up in the draft and groom a player (especially a QB), to have him rot on the bench when it looks like he is the more talented player.

Alex Smith won't see the field again in 2012-13 unless he's holding for an extra point. The Niners aren't winning dick with Smith at QB.

BTW, it occurred to me that the Rex Ryan Jets are the Mike Singletary 49ers.

Why? Ryan lost in his conference championship game his rookie season, just like Harbaugh's 49ers. Singletary never even had a winning record.

Now what if the 49ers do it back to back in his 1st and 2nd season, just like Rexy? omg

Harbaughs = Ryan - they all make it to meaningless, dont count for anything conference championship games and lose.

Horrible analogy. Douche.

They're gonna have to find some extra injuries for this to happen. Teams don't just move away from their committed starter based on one awesome game from the backup.

I can agree on that except that I think alex smith is the hot hand. Heck his last game (not counting concussion one) he threw 18-19 with 3 touchdowns thats friken amazing. Also last year when flynn lit it up rodgers wasnt gonna be benched (yes im not comparing smith and rodgers but still the "hot" hand woulda been flynn from that record breaking performance)

Kaepernick is what happens when a GM proactively uses a decent draft pick on a QB who the staff likes. We could have done the same if we had drafted Russell Wilson this past offseason, but we didn't. Instead we have used one draft pick, a 7h rounder for McElroy, on the most important position on the field since drafting Sanchez. You think of all the wasted 3rd, 4th, 5th rounders that teams have over the years, why not draft a developmental QB every 2 or 3 years and hope that you hit on one that becomes your starter rather than put all your eggs in the once every 10 years first rounder guy that you draft when you are desperate for a QB and pay a fortune in salary for?

Russell Wilson was taken 2 spots before the Jets 3rd round pick of Demarrio Davis. are you suggesting they pick Wilson instead of Stephen Hill? And honestly how many wins does that translate into? check the stats Russell Wilson is garbage on the road and the Jets don't play in the 12th man stadium.

They could have stayed where they were in the second and drafted Hill or one of the other wide outs slotted in that range and had the flexibility to move up for Wilson. Moving up for Hill was stupid because wide receivers were plentiful at that point in the draft. They could have sat and just taken Sanu, Randle, Hill, whoever fell to their pick and done just as well as they did without leveraging a pick.

Alex Smith is horrible and Harbaugh has had a hard on to replace him since he took that job, as evidenced by drafting Kaepernick in the first place and then pursuing Peyton Manning.

Also, f*ck JiF.

Hill has pretty much sucked balls no matter how you look at it. A WR who cannot catch is worthless.

He was better off going to SF. The Jets would've been too dumb to let him throw the ball, leaving him relegated to a handful of wildcat snaps per game behind Sanchez until his rookie deal expired.

Yep. The Jets would have blown it by pigeonholing him into strictly the wildcat role and not recognizing overall talent.

Media anointing Kaper the next Tom Brady ... He had a good game, stop blubbering gratuitously.

Reminds me of the uproar in the media (and here as well) over last years GB back-up QB. Guy ended up not even being ale to win the starting job in Seattle.

Everyone loves the back-up QB until they see him more than once or twice.
