For most of the past week, we were led to believe that Alex Smith was on target to suit up for the Monday night tilt against the Bears. According to reports, he took the majority of the snaps once he was cleared for practice.
Now, Kaepernick faces one of the league's best defenses in a nationally-televised game. Will he be prepared? Will he have the awareness to run out of the pocket when his receivers are covered and he has twenty yards of open space in front of him? Did the 49ers put together a backup gameplan for their backup quarterback? Will the Niners' defense and special teams return to form after a spotty performance against the Rams? What will Jon Gruden say about "THIS GUY RIGHT HERE - HE'S A FOOTBALL PLAYER?"
This could be the beginning of an era. Or we'll be feverishly praying that Alex Smith's head owie recovers in time for next week's game in New Orleans. We'll find out in eight hours.
