Colin Kaepernick Starting

Colin Kaepernick has been renamed the starting QB for the San Francisco 49ers. I have no idea how this is going to play out. If he was playing with Chip Kelly at Oregon I would think he would do well but this is the NFL. You have to be a good passer to be successful. Running QBs haven't had must success of late. (Blaine Gabbert, RG3, Tim Tebow, Johnny Manziel,.........) QB's that can pass and run if needed have had success. (Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott....) 

NFC West 2012 Prediction

San Francisco 49ers 11 - 5

I am a believer in coach Jim Harbaugh. He is on the crazy side and his players carry that attitude onto the field, mainly on defense. You have to like a team that plays defense like they do. I’m not a fan of Alex Smith but he does have weapons around him on offense and that does count for something.

Seattle Seahawks 8 - 8

Russell Wilson winning the starting job shows that coach Pete Carroll is trying to put the best team on the field. I like what he’s doing but I don’t believe that they are good enough to make the playoffs.

St. Louis Rams 5 - 11

This team is missing a lot of stuff. I’m beginning to think that Jeff Fisher is losing it as a coach. It seems like he is disconnected from the game. Maybe Vince Young has rubbed off on him. If #1 draft pick Sam Bradford can get on track maybe this will help them to a better record.

Arizona Cardinals 3 - 13

If preseason is a sign of things to come this team may not win a game. The QB is usually the leader of a team but the QB has to be good in order to earn respect from the players that he’s trying to lead. I predict that the Cardinals will be drafting a top QB in the 2013 NFL draft.
