San Francisco 49ers – Not Sure if Relieved or Worried
On one hand, the San Francisco 49ers clinched a playoff spot and still have a chance to win the division and even get a number one seed in the NFC if things go their way in the final week. But there’s also the negative side to their win over the Atlanta Falcons, as they barely made it through against a much weaker team until the final minute of the game.

49ers vs Redskins – Colin Kaepernick is Good When It’s Easy
There is no crisis crippling the San Francisco 49ers. It’s only the simple fact that they’re not as good of a football team when compared with last year.

San Francisco 49ers – Turning Kaepernick Into Alex Smith
The San Francisco 49ers have won four consecutive games thanks to one big change they’ve made, which is stop relying on Colin Kaepernick and his overrated passing skills.

Alex Smith Has More Rushing Yards Than Colin Kaepernick
The San Francisco 49ers replaced Alex Smith with Colin Kaepernick, never looking back to regret it.

San Francisco 49ers – Colin Kaepernick Nothing But a Cog in the Machine
As we go deeper into the 2013 NFL season, Colin Kaepernick looks less and less special, while the San Francisco 49ers are getting back to their dominant and their impressive ways by going back to basics: An incredibly strong and smothering defense, accompanied by the power running game that has been the biggest part of their success since Jim Harbaugh took over.

San Francisco 49ers – Colin Kaepernick Isn’t the Problem
Believing Colin Kaepernick was the main reason for the success we saw from the San Francisco 49ers last season or in the opening week is the same kind of logic that leads those blaming him for the two consecutive losses, but ignores the true strengths of this team and its actual problem.
