SF Harbaugh clearly gets what SP has said for years as a head coach in the NFL. "To win the SB, you have to make bold moves."
Alex Smith takes them to 13-3 last year and one game short of the SB. SF was leading their division and Smith had a pretty decent QB rating. Harbaugh decides to replace Smith permanently with the young Kapernik and rides him through the playoffs into the SB.
Can you imagine the backlash if Kapernik had made young QB mistakes that cost them a playoff game this year?
Despite the rivalry, Do think Harbaugh's move to Kapernik was savvy?
