Fake footballers don’t like uncertainty. Much like girls, it’s the devil, and although reports all week haven’t indicated anything otherwise, we still haven’t heard a definitive answer from 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh regarding his quarterback quandary, and whether or not his starter this week will be named Colin Kaepernick.
Harbaugh and answers go together like hell and ice. But dammit, Jim, we need to know, and we need to know now. With his cushy matchup against the Saints that could and should lead to an even better fantasy day than the one Matthew Stafford had yesterday (here’s to hoping, because otherwise I’ll get a prediction wrong, and that’s never happened before), Kaepernick is the week’s fantasy darling. As a fantasy option right now he’s more attractive than like eight Kate Uptons. I’ve even put up a Kaepernick poster in my bathroom medicine cabinet. No, you have a problem.
But about that starting nod from Harbaugh. We expect it’s coming, and we know it’s coming, but it’d still be nice to officially hear it before we depart for the weekend. That may not happen, but at least someone else who frequents the Niners’ locker room is speaking on the matter.
