    Colin Kaepernick Admits He Learned Nothing From Watching Alex Smith Play Quarterback

    Coming off a disappointing overtime loss to St. Louis, Colin Kaepernick admitted to reporters Thursday that watching Alex Smith over the past two years has not helped his game in the slightest. “I wish I could say Alex has been an inspiration to me and all that, but I’ve watched the guy play 27 games now, and honest to God, I didn’t get a single thing out of it,” said Kaepernick, who added that seeing the 8-year veteran in practice and in games has taught him nothing about staying cool in the pocket, reading defenses, improvising when protection breaks down, or leadership either on or off the field. “I guess the only thing I did learn was how to completely fall apart during a conference championship game. That and how to rely on a great running back and phenomenal defense to win games for you. Otherwise, it was pretty much useless.” Kaepernick confirmed that his greatest learning experience since entering the league came while watching Eli Manning play against the 49ers.

    It's from the Onion, of course he didn't say that, but it's funny as hell regardless.

    *if the mods want to saloon this, that's fine, but it's hilarious never the less.

    And the tattoos are hardly ghetto.
    The tattoos are of spiritual nature and religious.

    Should have sourced it originally so everyone wouldn't get upset about it... But it's gold. The Onion sports articles are always amazing.

    I wish Kaepernick had Been paying attention last year when Alex Smith won 13 games, and beat the Rams twice.

    Alex Smith already beat Eli "twice" last year.

    Eli threw 2 int's and choked in the 1st loss.
    What did you learn from Eli? Get Kyle Williams to fumble so your kicker can kick the winning FG.


    Sports fans are beyond stupid.
    They jerk off to Andrew Luck who's one of the worst QB's in the league at the moment and make fun of a QB who's played 20x better.

    Unreal.

    this thread is my Exhibit A as to why you should never tail SBR posters. why would you put real money on a play when apparently there is a significant risk that the poster is so penetrating stupid as to believe that this quote was real?
