SAN FRANCISCO -- As Alex Smith stood on the sideline with a concussion, San Francisco's potential quarterback of the future went to work -- and fast. Strong-armed fill-in Colin Kaepernick made all the right throws, looking every bit a capable NFL No. 1.
Kaepernick passed for 243 yards and two touchdowns in his first career start in place of the injured Smith, and the 49ers whipped the Chicago Bears 32-7 on Monday night in a highly touted NFC showdown that hardly lived up to the hype.
"It's everything I could've ever wished for," Kaepernick said. "It feels great just to be out there."
Kaepernick threw touchdown passes to Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree, and Kendall Hunter ran for a 14-yard score as San Francisco (7-2-1) jumped out to a big lead by scoring on each of its first four possessions -- with Aldon Smith wreaking havoc on the other side of the ball with 5.5 sacks.
