If Blackburn is out Klein will start per Rivera.

Blackburn, 9 year veteran. Klein, rookie. Star, rookie, Melvin white, rookie, Robert Lester, rookie. I worry about the amount of experience we have on the field. Do I doubt they can handle it? No I do not but a single mental mistake or over pursuit can kill you in a game like this.

I don't doubt Klein will be good but you also can't over qualify 5th round picks by saying that there are as many 5th rounders in the hall as 1st. Plus, Kuechly and Kiko Alonso are a dime a dozen players. I expect Kline to be respectable but I don't want to see a Buffalo-esque mix up.

  KLEIN played lights out.  Outstanding performance for a rookie in his first start.

Has crow ever been so good. I think it's fair to say, "we struck gold", where the original 49ers were born.

Imagine that this is the WORST Klein, Lester and White will ever be.  Now also imagine we have them all for 4-5 years on the cheap, and they will only get better.  Oh mannnn

Pluck a wing off for me too.  Though I was happy to see him play well.  Did I expect everything he did.. No way.

 

What a performance.  

 

That sack he had was amazing.  Kapernick had in his face and he still made the sack. And got a 15 yd penalty to boot.

Rivera really talked him up in press conference today. I'm just worried how he is in coverage, or if it would be any worse than Blackburn?

[Jackofalltrades]

Klein is the better, more fluid athlete of the two, as long as he doesn't have any huge mental meltdowns I think he'll be good.

I stand by this.

I thought it was Kuechly honestly. If Kuechly and Davis weren't our linebackers I don't think he'd look as good. I also don't think he will show out as much as Alonso though I do think he will get better as the season rolls along.

Our starters next season: Davis, Kuechly, Klein. It'll be interesting to see if he continues to play this season.

Klein graded out better on PFF last night than Blackburn had all season. Also better than Beason has all season...
