Colin Kaepernick had an uneven performance in the San Francisco 49ers' overtime loss at the Rams.

But Jim Harbaugh will keep Kaepernick as the starter quarterback next week instead of Alex Smith.

“Tough game, I thought he played well,” Harbaugh said. “I’m proud of Kap. I thought he handled himself well under a lot of heat and duress.”

Kaepernick was 21-for-32 for 208 yards.
