@@@ ST. LOUIS 鈥?Behind by two touchdowns and facing an embarrassing loss to an amped Rams squad, the 49ers needed greatness to lift them.
Insert Colin Kaepernick.
The 49ers quarterback put together yet another primetime gem. He tossed three touchdowns in a 15-minute span and finished with 343 yards passing, the second highest total of his career. Led by Kaepernick, the road Niners took control of the game and eventually put the Rams in their place, 31-17.
He is now 4-0 on Monday Night Football, throwing for 1,018 yards with nine touchdowns and no interceptions. His performance over the Rams was the latest example of why Kapernick is so pivotal to the 49ers Super Bowl hopes.
In the toughest division in football, with Dallas and Philadelphia piling up wins on the other side of the conference, it s going to take greatness for the 49ers to finish atop the NFC mountain. Already with two losses, the 49ers could ill afford a choke job to a one-win team, even on the road. Not with two games against Seattle remaining and a revenge match against Arizona. Not with Denver looming next week.
So the 49ers needed Kaepernick to be great, and he was. They鈥檙e going to need it again. And again. And again.
鈥淚 always think Colin plays well,鈥?coach Jim Harbaugh said. 鈥淗e just keeps doing it and doing it and doing it. No turnovers from the QB position. Really good in running the team, getting us in the right play and throwing the ball really well. Had some pinpoint throws, he had the throws where he laid it in there perfectly, got to step up and hit the check down and get the chains moving. I thought he was really on his game.鈥? He can be frustrating, for sure. He misses his share of easy throws and open targets, and struggles with some oft the little things.
But he can also be spectacular. And it鈥檚 his propensity for greatness, not his mastery of the basic, that propels the 49ers from good to dominant.
That was never more evident than the go-ahead touchdown he threw in the third quarter Monday
On third and 1 at the St. Louis 11, the play call was a pass to tackle Joe Staley, who was in as the tight end. But he was tackled before he could run his route, leaving Kaepernick in a bind.
He weaved through traffic in the pocket and danced to the left sideline. He then lofted a pass towards the end zone, a floater of a toss that drifted back to the right.
鈥淚t was another one of those where I said, 鈥榃hat is he doing with the ball?鈥欌€?Harbaugh admitted.
What he was doing was dropping the perfect pass to Anquan Boldin in the back of the end zone. What looked like a probable interception prompted a Kaepernick critic in Trent Dilfer to call it one of the greatest passes he鈥檚 ever seen on Twitter.
Kaepernick even impressed himself, which he said doesn鈥檛 happen often.
鈥淚 felt good about it,鈥?Kaepernick said with a shy smile.
鈥淗ow he saw him? I don鈥檛 know,鈥?Harbaugh said. 鈥淚t seemed out of his peripheral vision.鈥? The 49ers were destined for another field goal before Kaepernick pulled a rabbit out of a helmet. Just like they were destined for a 14-3 halftime deficit before he hit Brandon Lloyd in stride for an 80-yard bomb.
鈥淭he ball landed right in my lap,鈥?Lloyd said.
Where the 49ers want to go requires something special. And Kaepernick dominates the 49ers鈥?market share on special. They can only be great if he is great.
Yes, the defense is coming around. And though it isn鈥檛 the same thanks to injuries and a suspension 鈥?and now you can add Patrick Willis and Jimmie Ward to the injury list as neither finished the game 鈥?it could be great again by season鈥檚 end.
Yes, the 49ers are a running team. But as the Rams showed, that element can be limited by a determined defense willing to stack the box.
The defense and the running game make the 49ers a really good team. But it鈥檚 on Kaepernick鈥檚 dynamic talent that the 49ers title hopes ride. And if they are to make their presence felt come December and January, it鈥檚 going to take a level of greatness Kaepernick provides.Related Articles:
