I disliked Kaepernick long before he took a knee.
I hated Kaepernick before it was cool.
Hector Torres Same here. I loved Alex, hated Harbaugh for what he did to Alex. Glad things have worked out though.
Everyone hated on him when he had success nothings changed
i've said it from day one, alex smith is better than colin kaepernick
he is but during that sb run he had alex smith wouldn't have gotten them that far
but you dont know that
Surya, Alex was on fire that season. He was one of the league leading QB's. That team was simply loaded, much like the Denver Broncos last year, anyone at QB probably could have went deep into the playoffs. A smart QB like Alex would have probably won that SB.
Nick not sure about win, Kaepernick was hard to stop and Alex Smith might've lost vs GB, Baltimore was tough that year too
Better is a relative term. Physical ability no doubt Kapernick. IQ and ability to function as a NFL QB Smith blows him away. Guy is the "Game Manager" who consistently manages to win games.
i liked alex smith for san fran
Coming back to this after Smith beat the Steelers, and boy, was this the single most prophetic thing Colin Cowherd ever said.
Alex Smith is the most vanilla quarterback ever. He's never thrown for more than 23 touchdowns or 3500 yards. But he's still better than Kaepernick.
LifeOfTheParty He's never going to win a Super Bowl. He has very average attributes as a passer. He's not going to win games when he has to throw it in those situations. He's just good enough for the Chiefs and he was just good enough for the 49ers. Smith doesn't beat the Packers, Falcons, or nearly the Ravens the way Kaepernick did.
LifeOfTheParty And against the Giants in the NFC title game he couldn't hit anyone besides Vernon Davis. And even if they won that game no chance he beats Brady
njyankeesfan
Yeah right, that defense was legit and was way better than the Giants defense.
njyankeesfan crazy thing is Alex Smith has similar numbers to Troy Aikman and he's a HOF QB. So maybe if Alex played in the same era he'd be appreciated more.
***** Aikman played in a time when quarterbacks weren't all putting up these crazy numbers today, and he has three Super Bowl rings.
Kaepernick's a vegan? wow this guy has gone total SJW
Alex Smith just helped lead his team to a 12-4 Regular Season and the AFC West Title with the #2 seed in the AFC Playoffs. Kaepernick 'managed' his team to a 2-14 season and last place in the NFC West. Who is kidding who here? Of course Alex Smith is SUPERIOR. You can call him what you want, Game Manager, Vanilla, Checkdown Alex, whatever...His record speaks for itself. And not only is he a great and efficient Football Quarterback, he is good human being too. He's raising a family, and has a foundation that helps less advantaged kids get into college. The guy is a friggen saint.
Listen, nobody is perfect, and he certainly has his faults, but football is a TEAM sport, so the comment about him only doing well because he has offensive weapons is frankly BS. Of course the guy is gonna thrive if he's surrounded with great players and coaching. DUH.
GO CHIEFS!
The Niners play in NFC West but I get your point! 👍
He was so right about Smith's resiliency
bad team, BAD COACH, bad everything. Not just Kaep
trent willams you are completely right about this
huh? first off im not even a Niners fan. Secondly while Kaepernick is now a HAS BEEN, Gabbert is a NEVER WAS!!. Trash!
Lol where was all this excuse me when Smith had Nolan and Singletary. Kaperick is a college qb. He can't go through a read its all stare down a receiver or run.
BlitzinLB27 kaep and gabbert are trash
Who else never believed kaepernick could live up to the hype? I was always an Alex smith guy
Colin is the same guy that said Having Alex Smith is like a gun with no bullets. He is such a flip flopper.....he loooved Kap at first.
Kenton Edenfield very true
well kaep was good once upon a time.
Thank you so much for acknowledging that I was about to comment on that lol
Because Kap was the right option at the time
Khgfd Zhgtfdr I'm not sure you heard him say 20-5......read option made alot of undeserving people get alot of money #rg3
Wow, surprised to see Colin give Smith love. Easily the most underrated QB in the NFL ever since Harbaugh was at SF.
The winds were crazy in Buffalo and Kaep hasn't played in a year. He played aight yesterday considering the circumstances
humanparadox 18miles per hr winds
humanparadox what's next? Will it be too hot?
I mean...When you throw a ball for a living...the wind matters..
I've said it all along that smith was light years better the Kap
the_shantilly Same here. Colleena benefitted from NO TAPE for defenses to study and a stronger arm, that's it. Alex was tearing it up in 2012! I hated Harbaugh the second he did that to Alex, so I'm very happy that kharma has worked everything out.
+James I was a life long 49ers fan. I saw the writing on the wall. When Hardouch benched Smith I rooted against them in the SB. The day the 49ers traded Smith to the Chiefs like Gerbac, and Montana been a fan ever since. Never going back to Yorks.
the_shantilly Light years is a speed definition but i agree especially now
Kaepernick is a vegan? Lost more respect.
Jack Stone lol why
Employing Tiera you're*** it was a joke. I am an adult. NEXT!
It takes guts and determination to go vegan.
I guess some people think their taste buds are more important than sentient creatures.
If that was a joke I think you lack any kind of sense of humor, because I promise you 0 out of 100 people found it funny.
4:44 Kaepernick realized he just plugged CNN and has to throw in Fox News
Still holds up...
Could not word this any better
Spot on!
Nailed it. Couldn't have said it better.
how do you know when some one is a vegan. dont worry they will tell you.
now go through the comments and find the vegans sticking up for kaepernick
I always thought Alex was a better qb than kaep because he could throw the ball better and more importantly in San Fran the team played to who and what they can do
At that moment, Kaepernick was a better fit than Alex Smith. It was because of him that the 49ers played in a Superbowl and almost made it to another. Alex Smith is a good quarterback, but don't blame Harbaugh for making a decision that was for the greater good.
And it was definitely not kaepernick who got them to that super bowl...that niners team was loaded
Exactly, the defense was stacked. Smith got them off to a hot start, Colin took advantage of teams having zero game footage on him but after that he's been exposed.
tweetweettiger kap took them to 2 NFC championship games and a Super Bowl appearance his team has been depleted since and his first couple years he has had his third coach. And his team is terrible.
I think Matt Stafford and Derek Carr are the most underrated QBs in the nfl. That's just my opinion tho.
Alex Smith is the most Underrated Quarterback ever and He will win a Superbowl in his career and deserves it! The NFL has alot of overnight hyped up Quarterbacks like Kapernick and Cousins but Smith is just a winner
I don't think so
My dad was a huge niners fan . When they took out smith and put kap in I always said but smith is better and he would say smith is garbage and kap is the truth. Well now kap is not worth mentioning as a qb , smith has realized his potential in KC and my dad is died. It worked out real nice
Smith was garbage also when he was surrounded by a garbage team.
Alex Smith chiefs are a lot better then the 9ers
StangGang418w not that 9ners team Colin took to the Super Bowl.
This is why I listen to his show. He talks about things that we don't know. He's literally teaching his listeners about the economics of sports. Love his show.
I'm pretty sure Cowherd said Kaepernick had a higher ceiling and agreed with the decision when Smith was benched. He's changed his tune a little bit since then.
cyberspd well yea back then Kaep was playing amazing and making great throws and running all over teams. Of course he changed his tune...they wish they still had Smith now but Kaep was better back then
These comments still ON POINT
I remember when Colin used to say Alex Smith was "boring" because he doesn't throw deep balls
Haha when he said "CNN.... Fox News" I died
bad team, bad coach..why is the focus on Kap's return? terrible analysis.
Powerful / successful people often have egos that grow as a result of their successes. When you climb the ladder of power...you think you are so good that you believe you don't need others. That is York vs. Harbough in a nutshell. It is a shame that it came to that, but both men had giant egos and somehow York was kept and Harbough was let go. Now look at this organization...one of the flag ship franchises in the league is in tatters. Shame.
AMEN!
The chiefs giving up two 2nd round picks for smith seems like a steal right now compared how 49ers are going right now. Especially going from 2-14 to having two 11-5 seasons and a 9-7 season the last 3 years and winning a playoff game. I will take that over anything the 49ers got in the trade.
TheDustyaman 49rs had a offseason where all or most of their players left or retired
GO BILLS!!!
Saying Colin contributes to none of the fallen ratings is dumbfounding
being vegan has absolutely noting to do with his weight loss. he had 3 surgeries where he couldn't lift weight...
he didn't claim going vegan caused the weight loss. He is just stating that it could make it harder to gain the 20+ pounds by going vegan.
lol vegan
At least he's healthier than your average American with heart disease. Vegan benefits are stronger resilient mind, your body feels lighter you are more positive.
A Tribe Called Quest That's exactly my point staying Vegan is healthier for you in the long run. It's better that then a lifetime of struggling with Health issues that my family has a history of. I will NOT risk it.
spooky shark lol no its not you can cause early destruction of brain cells its just better than our current diet that you would actually feel better reread my comment
When you try to pull a Bledsoe|Brady but fail miserably.
Dabalo, Just a Lemon With Lemon needs seems legit
No, this shows you how great jim harbaugh was. Alex Smith was inept against the Giants in the NFC championship game. You think he would have beaten Rodgers in Green Bay? Or rallied the comeback in the Super Bowl?
Alex had no receivers to pass to that day other than Vernon Davis, who had 2 long TD'S. Crabtree couldn't get open to save his life and the other receivers were Brett Swain and Joe Hastings, practice squad players. Swain dropped a key pass that would've gone for a lot of yards.
that defense carried us that whole year
Not in the playoffs...they allowed an average of 19 points per game in the first half. Someone had to lead the comebacks-and his name wasn't Smith.
You forget that Kaepernick went three and out on three straight drives to start the Falcons NFC Championship game. If he had sustained more drives to start, they wouldn't have fallen behind so quickly. Give him credit for coming back, but it doesn't matter because Jim's brother figured out how to finally defend the read option in the Superbowl, which is why we lost. They just tackled both the QB and the running back at the same time, regardless of who hands the ball off. After that game, the Giants and Ravens owned Harbaugh with Kaepernick starting.
VeganViet Ⓥ lol better than kaep would have done and I don't think he would have been down like that
what about the last 49ers game? nobody watched it
At least Colin's making good points how the NFC simply has more enticing storylines, locker room scenarios, and superstars making headlines.
if we had our leader on offense going into that super bowl against the raven's, we would have won. Alex Smith does things on the field kap can't and never will do. He makes good decisions in the pocket, can read coverages, and he's mobile. Alex Smith is the ultimate game manager and will spread apart any defense. If there's one thing I will always hate harbaugh for, it's benching Alex Smith and running him out of town. Other than that I love and miss the guy.
Alex Smith is one of the best QB's in the league. He has the IQ to run some of the craziest schemes out there. The dude is just a winner
Alex Smith is the most underappreciated quarterback in the history of the NFL. Yes he sucked his first 5 or 6 years in San Francisco, but nobody could've had success in that situation. He had a different offensive coordinator every year and didn't have weapons outside of Frank Gore. Once he finally got a good coach he flourished. They went from like 5-11 to 13-3 and probably would've gone to the Super Bowl if their punt returner didn't suck. They were on the same track the next year but he got hurt and never got his job back because Kaepernick played really well. Smith got dumped and shipped to KC where he again had a really good coach. They've made the playoffs 3 of his first 4 years there and are on track to make the playoffs this year. I know he doesn't put up great stats and doesn't take many shots, but I'd take him over a lot of the starting quarterbacks in the NFL. He wins games, and what else do you want?
Isaac Dunaway that year they played the Giants, the regular punt returner, Ted Ginn Jr. was injured, so they went with a kid named Williams who I think was a relative of Kenny Williams (GM of the Chicago White Sox baseball team)
Alex Smith, greatest NFL game manager in history.
Smith is a true QB survivor having to live most of his early career on his back getting sacked and once he starts getting his success with the 49ers, he gets disregarded for the new thing. Not everything that is new is the best thing.
I agree alex smith, easily the most underrated qb of all time.
Totally agree with you about Alex Smith. (Even though I don't agree with you on all of your views). People look back and always question if he was worth the #1 overall selection in 2005. Thus far, looking at his longevity and continual adaptation to do whatever it takes to play at the top of his game, he sure is.
On another note, I believe the 49ers gave up on Alex Smith, and wanted to trade him, long before they did. Remember SF's JT O'Sullivan experiment? It's just a shame that Alex Smith had to play many years for a franchise that never appreciated him, even when he was winning. I am a Ravens fan. And if we had anything remotely related to Alex Smith in 2005, Baltimore would have supported him, just as we do Joe Flacco. My point is we rally behind QB's that put in the time, and hard work, and show they have what it takes. Even if they leave us. Like Vinny Testaverde.
On a more related note, I think the San Francisco 49ers are going to struggle for a long time. Their roster is a mess. Kaepernick isn't their QB of the future. Chip Kelly is still only a band aid to the struggles of the 49ers organization, and very soon, he is going to be sitting at home, mulling what College head coaching jobs to take again. Biggest problem is ownership, they are quite controlling interest wise. Not for the likes of coaches like John Harbaugh or Jimmy Johnson. I think they are more set up for a coach like Nick Saban. The current Nick Saban.
Alex Smith is just like Charlie Ward... Career-wise
I appreciate Colin for saying this! I always thought Alex Smith was the right fit for the 49ers now it's backfiring smh. I still hope Kaepernick is successful the remainder of the season.
I completely agree with Colin here. As a lifelong Niner fan I believe that pushing Alex away like that was a travesty and one of the worst franchise decisions of all time.
Jew Fierros karma caught up to us.
Jew Fierros That was the day I lost all faith in Harbaugh. Alex was playing out of his mind in 2012, then Harbaugh showed his true snake self.
Alex Smith is the king of the dink and dak!
JustPlaying2020 He also wins a ton of games. Which is more important, stats or wins? Exactly.
James Bayly wins huh? Yea when has Alex smith lead a team to the Super Bowl hmmm I'll wait?
can easily be Romo n Dak if the boys don't play their cards right.
Alex Smith has 5 TD in 5 games and "leads" a team with a dreadful passing attack. He's a footnote on history and will never win anything meaningful.
Long before Kaep's social justice warrior effort I thought he wasn't a very good field general. Yeah, he played well for Harbaugh but after that he regressed and then the injuries and surgeries came. Maybe his commitment to rehab wasn't good enough. We get to find out, he's the starter next week. Ball is in his hands.
Anyone else noticed alex smith is the second 49ers to sign with the Chiefs?
Not the second but we see a trend here : Steve Bono, Joe Montana, Elvis Grbac and now Alex Smith were 49ers backups at one point and made something really good for the Chiefs
The chiefs respect true talent
Harbuagh rode the hot hand (Colin) but wanted to keep both QBs according to Greg Roman
Agree with everything except for the comments about Harbaugh. He's a HORRIBLE coach!!
u look at what Smith has to work with compared to kaep right now it's not even comparable
Colin does this for a living how does he not understand hiw bad Alex Smith sucks?
49ers with Kap went to a Superbowl and an NFC Championship game. What has Alex Smith done with the Chiefs?
Half the 49ers were traded away or retired. That is out of the QB's control. They got rid of their winning coach. Again out of QB's control. Given some continuity Kap may have been more successful. We will never know cause Trent Baalke essentially imploded the team around Kap. Now their once vaunted defense is a joke.
Handorow Senpai Um, look at 2014 pal, the team was still stacked to the gills...but defenses had figured out Colleena's tendencies! He's garbage.
I miss Alex now =\........ but I have to admit I was on board with the benching cause I couldn't get that championship game against the giants out of my mind.
Rob Delakovias They win that game in regulation if Kyle Williams doesn't give the game away, you can't put that on Smith. Kaepernick has always been trash who was covered by a stacked team.
After the giants took Davis out of the game Alex coudn't hit any of his receivers and was atrocious on 3rd down. Alex had a pretty stacked team as well so I don't know..... in retrospect yeah maybe it was the wrong move but at the time it felt like we needed more at qb to get us to the next level. Kap had a great team around him but he's also had some great individual performances as well. It's all good I'm over it now lol
Alex had a stacked defense...not offense. That was one of the most brutal defensive battles I have ever seen. Even the Giants and Eli Manning couldn't do jack against us until the very end. We had like 6 sacks or something. Do you remember who the receivers were outside of Vernon and Crabtree in that game? I do, because they were so appallingly bad. Joe Hastings and Brett Swain. How tf are you supposed to pass to practice squad receivers in an NFC Championship game? They didn't get any separation whatsoever, so he had nobody to pass to apart from Vernon, who he hit for a couple long bomb TD's. And then Kyle Williams was the one who fumbled away the game on some of the worst return mistakes I've ever seen. He faked a return that hit him in the knee, because he actually stepped towards the ball without catching it.
He finally is showing his sub count
Actually agree w him for once
The 49ers talent disappeared around Kaepernick. Smith got pulled because he has no big play ability and couldn't get it done. Smith is under Andy Reid and Kaep had Jim TomSula gtfoh. We have even less talent now!
the fs1 ratings are up because everyone is leaving that dumpster fire espn
TheHopelessGamerz
Including me
u can't judge ck based on yesterday's game. he had 3 injuries, lost muscle, and i believe couldn't practice with the team until first week of training camp
Jonathan Tsai Did you watch 2014 or 2015? Colleena sucks!!
James Bayly idk if ur an SF fan or not but he was put in a system different from what he was use to playing
at least we know now that Colin's wife watches CNN so it's probably safe to assume she's voting for Hilary, which means Colin's probably voting for Hilary too.
I knew it was a mistake the day they said colin kap was starting over Alex Smith SMH. good for Alex Smith.
Alex smith > stafford
remember when colin kaepernick was actually good
Its easy to talk bad about Kap when most of the team is playing like Trash right now...you could put Tom Brady on the 49ers and it wouldn't make a difference right now...Kap did better when he had a better team....you should judge the team as a whole instead of just Kap also lets not forget about the suspect play calling thats been going on Thanks to Chip...
Kaepernick > A Smith. Harbaugh made the right call.
On 3 and 10 A Smith is throwing a 5 yard dump off to a check down. That's it. Once you go 10 yards downfield as a WR you don't exist might as well be in another country.
Smith has the talent but not the confidence.
he brought them to a super bowl and almost won them the super bowl lol. i get that its cool to hate him now but cmon. its not like the chiefs offense is that impressive
Now Smith is with the redskins
Deshaun Watson will be picked by either the 49ers or Browns in the draft.Poor guy
Colin took us to the super bowl, Alex smith didn’t.
No he didn’t it was a team effort that got them to the super bowl
Will the 49ers win with Kaepernick at QB this season?
Maybe three seasons ago.
Jury is still out
No because he has nothing around him
Nicholas B
That's no excuse, Russell Wilson went to the super bowl with a bunch of substandard recievers & mediocre o-line.
MrTower17 Russell also had the best defense and Marshawn Lynch
Alex Smith was a BUM before Harbaugh came. Even in the first year of Harbaugh's reign, he was trash. Had a couple of flashes but did nothing else. Let's be real here.
Smith before Harbaugh is the same situation Kaep is sitting in right now. Except now we are hearing people make excuses for Kaep. Smith = winner.
Alex smith isn't destroying green bay like keapernick did
Cillian O Meara greenbay would destroy kap and thats still even when Rodgers its playing trash.
I'll never forget that sleeveless game
Nebopset 420 well i was just talking about that playoff win a couple years back. Back then nobody was missing alex smith. Kaepernick was a legit dual threat QB back then
Yes Alex is a better QB than Kaepernick.. Alex doesnot throw down field pass 40 yds. Is it The offense that is designed that way or does Alex not have the arm strength? Does anyone discuss this openly?
jaba ju Alex is really careful about turning the ball over, so that's why he doesn't go deep super frequently. His arm strength is mediocre due to a poorly managed shoulder separation that cost him most of 2007 and all of 2008. People always forget about that injury, which ironically turned Alex into a safe, reliable winner with excellent short/medium accuracy.
Kaepernick was teriffic at first, but got worse each season. In his final start for the 49ers, they were on their own 2 yard line, and the defense left Anquan Bolden completely uncovered before the snap. He was jumping up and down, saying "hey look at me, no one is covering me!" An easy 98 yard touchdown pass if Kaepernick throws him the ball. Instead, he hands off for a 1 yard gain. No excuse in the world for that, other than Kaepernick didn't even care.
Alex smith is and never will be the reason why a team has success in this league. He is the definition of a vanilla Quarterback, he has never been a successful thrower and a decent at best athlete. Alex smith has and will never live up to his #1 Overall "potential" because all that Alex Smith is, is a disappointment. Chiefs can win the superbowl, and he'll be the reason that they don't lose, not the reason they win.
I've never before seen such a selfish, average at best, QB get so much attention in my life. If not for an overwhelming liberal, hypersensitive media, this QB and his "protest" would have been swept under the rug weeks ago.
Yeah, except Alex Smith has - once again - a top-notch defense and running game around him in Kansas City. He's been nothing but a game manager his whole career, and that's all he will be.
But he is winning! More than the 49ers are, that doesn't sound so bad at all really
WolfmanKenpo and kap throws less than 50%
I never said Kaepernick was good, either.
Luke Smith game manager = Doing what you have to. To win. Yet all these ppl act like it's an insult. Funny thing is how many teams wish they could say their QB was even a "Game Manager" more than half easily.
Ice Cold 509 Exactly. See Brock Osweiler/Peyton Manning and the 2015 Broncos for a perfect example of this.
tell me wht qb would win w tha r🏈str sf has put 2gethr ovr tha last few seasns,?,ill w8..,not many,i mean any!!
Guess what Colin, it's the beginning of the 2017-2018 season and the ratings are STILL going down! The protests do have an impact.
Alex Smith is not underrated or unappreciated, he is just an average QB that produces average results. you want to remain afloat and win a few games, you go with Alex, you want to win and be relevant, you go somewhere else.
Colin fell off pretty hard, but in one season he took the 9ers where Alex could not
He's playing like a star right now. You have to be stupid to say he's average. Average QBs do not take you to the playoffs.
I knew kaepernick was trash before the hype. "oh he beat the saints" yeah the saints defense was trash and the 49ers defense made drew brees look like jay cutler. "He got to the super bowl" uh no. Bowman pick 6 sealed the NFC championship. 49ers defense caused problems for aaron rodgers. Kaepernick threw a deep ball into triple coverage to ed reed. kaepernick almost threw a pick 6 in the SB to carey Williams if williams could catch. kaepernick had vernon davis and randy moss in the redzone but chose to trow it to crabtree twice and still overthrew him
CNN, Lol
kaepernick was never great it was Harbaugh that made him great now smith is one of the most boring vanilla QB in the league he will win games but he won't make it to the ship but he is infinitely better then kaepernick 49rs made a mistake
***** no its not just because he's boring he doesn't scare defenses he's not Tom Brady or Ben Rothlisburger that defense can't carry that team so they'll need the QB to do his part and he isn't capable of doing it but my argument was that he is better then kaepernick despite all the negatives
If you do, don't wait a moment longer to start your new life in Jesus Christ. Remember, this prayer is not a magical formula. You are simply expressing your heart to God. Pray this with us:
"Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
Prayer of Salvation - I've Prayed It; Now What?
If you've prayed this prayer of salvation with true conviction and heart, you are now a follower of Jesus. This is a fact, whether or not you feel any different. Religious systems may have led you to believe that you should feel something - a warm glow, a tingle, or some other mystical experience. The fact is, you may, or you may not. If you have prayed the prayer of salvation and meant it, you are now a follower of Jesus. The Bible tells us that your eternal salvation is secure! "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).
