"[Rookie QB Colin Kaepernick] doesn't have that rookie, deer-in-the-headlights mentality. I think he's going to be a good quarterback."
-Joe Staley, 49ers OT
Well thank god. 49ers fans, rest easy tonight. The long wait for Jeff Garcia's successor is finally over. After throwing the ball around with Kaepernick for an hour, Joe Staley thinks he's going to be a good quarterback. This is kind of like turning off a baseball game after the first pitch, walking away and confidently saying, "Glad we won this one!" Not to mention, when you've been working with Alex Smith for the previous four years, the bar in quarterbacking isn't exactly set super-high. If Kaepernick avoided throwing ball nine feet over anyone's head and didn't run screaming from the pocket as soon as ball was snapped, the Niners have to look at that as a success.
But back to my original point, is the lockout over yet?
