Chad takes a look at his team which had to make a decision on who was going to start this Sundays game, Colin Kaepernick or Alex Smith? Chad makes his pick, but was it the same as Coach Harbaugh? 

AP reports later after the filming Wednesday that Kaepernick would go over Alex Smith after the second-year pro led the NFC West-leading Niners (8-2-1) to victories in the past two games, his first two NFL starts.

Coach Jim Harbaugh says, “Colin we believe has the hot hand.” Kaepernick has completed 48 of 74 passes for 680 yards and three touchdowns with one interception and was sacked six times. He has a 102.3 passer rating.

Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick, hardly looked happy on the sideline during Sunday’s win over the Saints after being medically cleared from a concussion suffered in the first half of a 24-24 tie against St. Louis on Nov. 11.
