Yep, and I think it was a terrible decision.Defenses always play better against a new quarterback once they get a few games of tape to watch. That should happen just about playoff time.
You have a QB that led your team to 13-3 last year, has them at the top of the division this year, is completing 70% of his passes and has 13 TDs to 5 INTs. So you bench him for a guy that comes in and throws one and a half good games?
Even if it ends up being a good choice, it was a bad decision. Smith got hosed, and I'm going to laugh if Kaepernick implodes and Smith takes his talents elsewhere.
