Dalton & McCarron are in a very awkward situation

Kaepernick regressed tremendously this year. And he wasn't all that great last year either. He sadly didn't improve.

Honestly, if they kept Smith, they probably would have made the playoffs last year too.

Yeah, Kaepnernick was a product of the pistol offense he ran in college and the Michigan guy adopted it for Kaepnernick in the NFL. But NFL defenses know exactly what to do about that offense now and that was the end of Kaepernick. Don't see him ever doing much again. Just as I don't expect to ever see RGIII do much either.

Teams seem to have forgotten that NFL offenses developed into what they are based on what's the hardest to defend and they evolve. The pistol or the read-option can be incorporated into an NFL offense, but they can't be the basis of the offense. You still gotta play from under center and throw from the pocket on 3 and 5 step drops. If you can't do that you're going to be exploited.

The AJM/Dalton situation is much different. AJM came from a team that plays NFL style football. But he's going to have to win on Saturday and that's not enough for him to push Dalton out the door. I believe he'll have to get us to the SB for the team to consider that he has more upside than Dalton and the way it looks, Dalton will be back before then.
