“Inadequate. It was my first impression standing next to him. He’s just an Adonis. Just a great physical specimen of a man. I can think of some other adjectives. Our Creator created a beautiful man. And the things that really impressed, he had the rugby background growing up, and didn’t start throwing the discus until he was 18 years old. And then two years later he was throwing in the Olympics. So, you maybe start to put the pieces together and say, taking on football at this time in his life, I can see this guy doing it. So, I’m excited. And I think you will be, too, when you get them all together. When you get this entire rookie class together and we go walking out to the field and there’s [S Eric] Reid, and [DL Cornellius] Tank [Carradine].”
On a different topic, BJ Daniels from USF has a similar skillset of Kaepernick, I think he ends up being 2nd string in a couple of years. I don't think Tolzien and McCoy can do what Kaepernick does.

Rookie Quinton Patton impresses 49ers' Jim Harbaugh - NFL.com
"Attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind" is one of the many great Harbaughisms.
San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Quinton Patton embodied that spirit earlier this week when he flew, at his own expense, from his hometown of Nashville, Tenn., to the Bay Area, eager to start preparing for the season.
Around the League examines the aftershocks of the 2013 NFL Draft for each team:
"He's already my favorite guy," coach Jim Harbaugh told KNBR-AM in San Francisco on Wednesday afternoon as he gleefully relayed Patton's story.
The fourth-round draft pick from Louisiana Tech alerted the 49ers that he was coming to work after arriving at the airport.
"We had to go, 'You're where? What airport did you fly in to? You're in a rental car driving here?'" Harbaugh said. "'Yeah, coach, 20 minutes away.' We go, 'He can't be here, he can't come here. He's not allowed to be at our facility.'"
Aside from the 24-hour period after they are drafted for media introductions, rookies aren't allowed at the team facility until the start of rookie minicamp -- which starts May 10 for the 49ers. Had Patton arrived at the facility he wouldn't have been able to participate in next weekend's camp. The Niners had to tell the rookie to turn around and head back home.
Patton might have dropped a few dimes on the flight and car, but that could be the cheapest price any player has paid to earn a coach's admiration.
"The fact that he would buy his own ticket, fly out here, just speaks volumes about him," Harbaugh said of Patton. "To be honest with you, he reminds me of me. That's something I would have done. I love it."

Wonder if that means they will resign Randy Moss (who was the reason for the INT in the Super Bowl after he didn't even TRY to attempt to make a catch on that ball that was going to him), try and sign another WR or just roll with what they have on the roster and hope someone like Jenkins or Patton steps up?

Moss will not get resigned... This coaching staff is very good at getting the most out our talent.... atleast we have time now to work on this issue..lets be happy this didnt happen in week 8

I dont think people give Moss enough credit for taking the double teams which was a big reason Crabtree did so well last year.
Kinda hoping the extra time that Jenkins and Patton are putting in with Kap pays off. Jenkins has the potential to be a Mike Wallace type of receiver.

Jenkins needs to man up and do his thing, unlike last year. The rookies also have a shot at being on the field much earlier than Jenkins, too. I want to see how fast Patton really wants to put in and go. And lets not forget, although most people forget, about the wide receiver named Hall, he was resigned again so I expect him to show up and do something as a 3-4 guy.
But for the matter, Boldin understands what it is to be stout. As long as Jenkins turns into a Torrey Smith type of guy, the 49ers shouldn't worry too much about the receivers. I also expect Vernon Davis to have a big come back year.

Vernon Davis face in the video clip.

Justin Smith is given a 2 year extension (which he believes will retire by the end of that contract).
Greg Roman signs extension with San Francisco 49ers - NFL.com
Greg Roman also given a 2 year extension. Granted he may still jump ship to become a Head Coach after this upcoming season (we'll see what happens).
