Simms on Kaepernick: That arm alone is enough to make you a franchise QB

“He may be the most dynamic quarterback in the NFL,” Simms said. “His arm is not good, it’s special. If you watch the San Francisco 49ers ever since he became quarterback, you see these throws every single week. It’s not only the power. It’s the accuracy. That’s what has really startled me. He can throw it hard on a line, but his touch passes down the field have been spectacular … Forget the running, that arm alone is enough to make you a franchise quarterback.”

And according to the former NFL coach, San Francisco also has one of the best coaches in the game right now in Jim Harbaugh.

“He has the right feel for the game and his players. And just the way he does it, coming in his first year and getting to the [NFC] Championship, and those weren't his players, but he took an interest in them and had to take that group and get them to play together, and took them to the Championship (game). I think that's one of the great coaching jobs in the history of the NFL.

49ers Better Prepared this time

Rookie LaMichael James credited his college days at Oregon in preparing him for this playoff run. "I don't think it's too much different than playing in BCS games at Oregon," James said. "That helped me out. It's second nature to me. It's not that big of a difference."

Signs of Life from Vernon Davis

"The coaches are calling my number, but the plays just don't come open," Davis said in the locker room Saturday night when asked to explain his diminished production overall. "We look at film. They change it up when they play us. They called my number probably five or six times tonight and none of them worked, or maybe one of them did. But all of them should have been big."

"The second snap of the game, my number got called but they sat on it and set outside and it was just not there," Davis said following the Green Bay game.

"The route 'Crab' scored on, the first one when he came underneath, I was supposed go out and Crab comes inside," Davis said. "It all works hand in hand. I'm not mad at that at all. If I'm on the field and they are doubling me and leaving someone open, I can have that all day."
