Rodgers went on NFL Total Access and seemed to vent his frustrations with the entire way Smith's injury was handled by Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers.
Colin Kaepernick's first two weeks as the 49ers' starting quarterback quashed any notion of a "controversy." But after an overtime loss to the Rams on Sunday, plenty of questions about his viability as the starter emerged.
It's now clear that Alex Smith's concussion was merely the trigger mechanism for something San Francisco head coach Harbaugh planned to do eventually anyway: install Colin Kaepernick as the 49ers' starting quarterback.
Alex Smith is trying to understand how he lost his job as starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers a month after being named NFC Offensive Player of the Week.
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh has named Colin Kaepernick the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Rams, choosing him over former starter Alex Smith.
For the third week in a row, Colin Kaepernick will start at quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, and although head coach JimHarbaugh has made no final decision on whether Kaepernick's status as a starter is permanent, Alex Smith should be very worried.
Colin Kaepernick will start at quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at St. Louis.
Why is anyone questioning the way San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has handled the current quarterback dilemna? He knows the position, he knows the team, and they are winning. There is room to worry only when what he is doing doesn't work.
Three weeks ago Colin Kaepernick could have been the caddy for John Daly. I mean, NOBODY knew who this guy was outside of the Bay Area. Suddenly, he's Joe Montana. No, wait, he can run. He's Steve Young!
Whether 49er quarterbacks Colin Kaepernick or Alex Smith gets the nod to start Sunday's game in St. Louis, the other needs to be ready to play.
San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said he will formally announce his starting quarterback by mid-week so the players don't have to face constant questions about what they know about the situation.
Following the 49ers' victory over the Saints in New Orleans with Colin Kaepernick at quarterback, coach Jim Harbaugh declined to say who would start Sunday's game at St. Louis. John Madden told the KCBS morning crew his pick is Kaepernick over former starter Alex Smith.
Colin Kaepernick played well in his second career start, and the 49ers defense showed again that they are the best in the league. With Kaepernick again having a good performance the only question is who is the team going to use under center for the rest of the season and beyond?
The San Francisco 49ers didn't even need their No. 1 quarterback to beat a fellow division leader in their last game. They may have found a new starter in the process.
Harbaugh says it serves no purpose to his team and organization to let anybody know what his plan at quarterback is for Sunday's game against the Saints.
A report from Sports Illustrated on Thursday said that San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh will start Colin Kaepernick against the New Orleans Saints.
In order to figure out what they have in Colin Kaepernick the 49ers need to start him against the Saints. By playing another game he will allow the coaching staff to get a better picture of what he cab do and determine if Monday Night was a fluke or not.
Alex Smith is supportive of Colin Kaepernick's success, even if the second-year pro takes Smith's starting job as 49ers quarterback.
After backup 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick shredded the tough Chicago Bears defense in a 32-7 victory Monday night, coach Jim Harbaugh left the question unanswered. Who is the starting quarterback?
For a game that figured to have little scoring, one team had no problems putting points on the board. With back-up quarterback Colin Kaepernick running the show, the San Francisco 49ers beat the Chicago Bears up and down the field and once again put themselves in the conversation as the best team in the NFC.
The 49ers-Bears game Monday night on CBS 5 will feature two division leaders, two backup quarterbacks and two top defenses.
Jay Cutler, the Bears' starting quarterback, is already out for Monday night against the 49ers, a game which airs locally at 5:30 p.m. on CBS 5. And his San Francisco counterpart, Alex Smith, is set to join him on the sideline, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora confirms.
The injury report for the San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears is unremarkable except for one big name, Jay Cutler. Chicago will be without it's starting quarterback who suffered a concussion last week and has not been cleared to play. Even without Cutler, San Francisco will have their hands full on Monday Night as they faced a very talented team.
After suffering a concussion in last Sunday's tie game with the Rams, 49ers quarterback Alex Smith may be ready to play against the Bears on Monday night. If not, Colin Kaepernick will get the start.
