Notes
San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said there is some concern that QB Colin Kaepernick could become too big, and too strong, as he does his offseason workouts. Harbaugh would prefer he worked on his speed and quickness. 'If you're just talking about weightlifting and upper-body strength, yes, I think there is that fear,' Harbaugh said. 'It's something we've talked about. 'I don't want you getting too jacked-up, Colin.' I want some speed, quickness, not just (flexing chest his muscles).'
San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick said Tuesday, Feb. 5, that he'll be training in Atlanta within a week, and he will be bringing some of his receivers along with him. Kaepernick said he will only be able to remember his breakout 2012 season 'as not being good enough.'

San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick was critical of his performance following Super Bowl XLVII. 'I feel like I made too many mistakes for us to win,' Kaepernick said. 'Things weren't working in the first half. We just didn't finish our drives. We turned the ball over a couple times. That was the difference in the game.' Kaepernick finished with 302 yards passing with one touchdown and one interception. He also rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown.
Fantasy Impact: He still played a very good game on such a big stage. He is going to be a top fantasy starter in 2013. He has huge upside going forward.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said running the option enables a unit to play 11-on-11. 'Football without an option attack, the offense is basically playing with 10. A quarterback that doesn't block anybody, isn't an ineligible pass receiver, basically leaves the defense with one more than you have,' Harbaugh said. 'But when the quarterback is the threat to run in an option attack, or give or pitch, that gets the numbers back to even, back to 11-on-11.' QB Colin Kaepernick not only has the ability to be an effective passer, but also has the speed to turn the corner.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Thursday, Jan. 24, the key to containing San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick in Super Bowl XLVII is to not let him get to the outisde, in addition to tacking him when the opportunity arises. 'We're going to have to tackle him. We're going to have to keep him inside of our defense,' Harbaugh said. 'We're not going to be able to run past him. He's fully capable of putting 200 yards on you, just as capable as Frank Gore is or any of their running backs. He's not just an integral part of their passing game, he's a huge part of their run game. We'll have a plan for it. Assignment football is going to be really important for us. Change-ups are going to be important for us. We just have to play well against him.'
