No, but I can see this year they tried to aim for that and it didn't work, maybe they went too far for Kaep too early, sure he isn't Wilson, but Wilson uses his legs, and I think if Kaep understands he's gotta scramble instead of throw crap passes deep (better if a dump off) he'd be ok. He isn't the Elway yet, scrambling and tossing 30+ yard bombs with consistency, use his legs while he still has them like 10 times a game and he'll be fine. So many drives could have lasted a lot longer if he just took off after the first or second read or dump the ball off and let the back beat a man.

Niners were **** 'til Harbaugh arrived. He is also loyal, which is why Roman is the man, but I bet he'd switch Roman out. As for the other coaches obviously they're doing great jobs, but people cannot blame Harbaugh for this mess. I still can't believe there is an opposite polar side, saying stake him or he wasn't anything. He took a sub 500 team for 8 year and brought them to 3 NFC Championships and 1 Superbowl appearance, and this year is almost factual out of doubt. But that kind of run shouldn't mean he gets submarined, the dude deserves a contract. It's hard to find winning coaches with consistency, and by all means it's hilarious that Harbaugh is the same record as Petine, yet he gets thrown under the bus in SF and Cleveland is deems Petine the savior.

Kaepernick has skills, Use him right and he's just as deadly as Russel Wilson. They got too fancy, they need to ground and pound.

I mean I have seen worse, but the pass/rush scheme, nothing ever seems to gel. Most likely Harbaugh wanted to see what he could get out of Kaepernick, see if pushing his limits he may grow cuz you won't know 'til you take the chance. He failed at that, and I do believe the pistol/option is best for him. Get him some speed and it might just be worth (they did try for Djackson). Just weird 5 wide throw go and then back to 7offensive linemen and run. Kinda funky. Yea the O-line has been throttled with the injuries, but the type of plays are extremely confusing. The wide out screens are TOO wide, and the rest is just hard to watch. Going from one big pass play to fail 1st + 2nd + long 3rd. It's just annoying how it's a hit or miss and not consistent. Last year they weren't consistent either, IMO they OC/HC needs to see what Kaep is good at and just use that kinda ****. Molding him.... nope.

Just look at the option plays that Russell Wilson runs, I mean that crap is not confusing, done probably even in High School, but somehow the Niners don't run it that way. Annoying.

Even now the chiefs with Alex smith, his season high passing in a game was just passed last week at around 260 or something like that. Conservative qb's through the air since he came over

I don't have an issue with Harbaugh getting another contract as long as he fires Greg Roman. I think York/Marathe/Baalke are in that same boat. Unfortunately Harbaugh won't do that.

They just gave a big contract to Kaepernick, one that is only really guaranteed if he gets hurt or makes his marks. Well he's not making his marks, and I'm sure Baalke/York want to make sure he doesn't get hurt, HENCE the lack of running.

You really think Harbaugh wants to lose? I'm sure he knows he can run CK7, but I think the big shots don't want him getting paid sitting on the side.

There is a reason no one at Stanford missed him when he left. He's a tough guy to get along with. You think all that talk of turmoil in the locker room was bs now? There was clearly something going on behind the scenes since this offseason.

Which personnel moves are you talking about? Baalkes killed it in the draft and trades.

When you start looking at the big picture and seeing how this offense performed the last 4 years, you come to the realization that there has been a problem the entire time and if Harbaugh isn't smart enough to realize what the problem is, then maybe its time to get someone more competent.

You can even look back at his Stanford days with Roman calling his plays. He's going to be a perrenial 5 year contender anywhere he goes that will never reach the pinnacle of the sport. I can put money on that.

Next year he might go to the Raiders and make them a playoff team. Then everyone will tout about how he saved your program. Did he really though? He'll leave you guys the same place he left us 5 years from now. You might get to the playoffs but his OC will gameplan his way out of them.
