What are you talking about? Rex Ryan of the Jets was not fired, their GM Tannenbam was as was their OC. Mike Mularkey of the Jags was also not fired, their GM was.

That is what I am talking about numb nuts.
 
The fact that Lovie Smith was fired boggles my mind. 10-6 this year. A SB appearance. Two NFC Championship game appearances. All that despite average talent and a horrible GM who treated draft picks like Halloween candy.

Kap has played pretty well and has a MUCH MUCH MUCH higher ceiling. I think Smith should have been allowed to finish the year as I believe he gives them the best shot right now. This move might pay off in the long run though.

Smith is kind of like Big Al. He puts up numbers, but is never going to be great. He holds the ball too long, takes too many sacks, can't throw deep and is often perilously close to a costly fumble (although he has improved in that area). Kap is like Favors. Pretty raw, but when he plays you can see the potential. This reminds me of the Steve DeBerg/Joe Montana scenario (yep, I'm that old). DeBerg was a pretty good QB. The 9'ers weren't a great team, but it wasn't his fault. And we know what happened. Montana took over and SF thrived under their new coach, Bill Walsh. Many parallels to SF now. Harbaugh knows what kind of offense he wants to run and he needs the running ability and deep-ball threat of Kapaernickto pull it off. That's the wave of the future...just look at Washington and RG3.
 
Kaepernick is definitely the better player, long term, but I don't believe he gives the Niners a better chance this season than Smith.

Now that Kaep has been scouted, the playoffs are going to expose his inexperience.

I'm not rooting against Kaep - I'm Niners fan first - but I think Harbs is wrong about this. Anything less than a Superbowl is going to leave a bad taste in the mouths of the fans and the front office.
 
So, Gyp you got a sig for me or what? Send a PM although I'll want you to post it before I implement it to make sure the mods are good with whatever it is.
 
Huge smoke clouds regarding Chip Kelly in Cleveland, supposedly they are willing to give him more control than Philly would. Just rumors on a fan board FWIW.

Does PKM post there? Because that could change my opinion of this rumor. Thx.
