Suffice it to say I know more 49ers fans than you -- all of them, like me, watched every Alex Smith snap and every Colin Kaepernick snap - and every single one of them, like me, though Kaep was the better choice at QB. 

Is he an elite QB? No - but he's paid fairly for what he is, which is above average with the potential to be elite. Some of the shortcomings you mentioned are valid, others are not. We'll see what happens with an offense that's more catered towards his strengths rather than what Greg Roman did which was to try and avoid using Kaep's legs until the playoffs, which they didn't even make. 

You can keep making excuses for Smith not going downfield but he literally never has - not with the 49ers, not with the Chiefs. There's always an excuse. First it was the changing OC's every year, then guys were hurt, etc. He just never did it. That's at least partially because when he DID try as a young QB, Mike Nolan and then Mike Singletary would DESTROY him for any mistakes he's made. Shell shock caused him to become the ultimate dink-and-dunk QB, which when we want to be nice, we call "an effective game managing QB" like you did. 

I think you are wrong both about the 49ers and also about the Raiders, but only time will tell.
