Kevin, well there you surprise me: I thought JT O'Sullivan was a better QB than Hill! But if we can agree on the basic concept that Jim Harbaugh can take yours'n and beat his'n, I buy that. In truth, I can't wait 'til Smith is signed somewhere else and we can put this whole QB huggamugga behind us. But...I do believe Harbaugh would have benched any other QB for Kaepernick in similar circumstances. I think he was that intrigued/infatuated with Kaepernick.

It's beginning to look as though Jim might get lucky and keep all of his assistants in place over the offseason. But it will be interesting to see what he does if Greg Roman actually leaves. At that point, if it happens, I'll be drawing up comparison charts to the Bill Walsh years. Bill did pretty well replacing his star coordinators during the wonder era.
