RG3, Kaepernick, Johnny Football?

[Couch-Potato]

Watching first take currently and they're discussing how all three of these QBs [RG3, Kaepernick & Johnny Football] need new homes in the offseason...


Where do you think they land?


Are you interested in bringing any one of the three to KC?

[kepp]

The only one I'd remotely consider is RG3, but I have a vomit-inducing feeling they'll go after Kaepernick.

[ptlyon]

Bring them in for a huge contract?

[KC_Lee]

Because the endless parade of other team's trash has generated so much success, either regular season or more importantly post-season, in the past.

Let's keep that model going.

[BlackHelicopters]

No thanks.

[Couch-Potato]

I'm thinking RG3 to the Texans, and Kaep to the Eagles. Chiefs stand pat stubbornly, but likely a wise choice.

[Eleazar]

No, no, hell no.

[Saul Good]

I'd take Manziel. That would kick ass.

[oldman]

No, no, hell no.

You read my mind. We already have a wacko under contract.

[Couch-Potato]

RG3- Texans
Kaep- Eagles
JF- Cowboys backup?


...Bradford to browns?

[KC native]

No, no, and no.

Chiefs should draft Boykin so they get a better version of RG3.

[BossChief]

Fuck that.

DRAFT THIS TEAMS NEXT QB FFS.

Enough with these bullshit threads. Anyone that wants this team to go after another scrap heap garbage QB and"coach him up" should have their balls removed.

[KC_Lee]

The only move KC needs to make regarding these QBs....

[Eleazar]

No more retreads, and definitely no washouts

[ModSocks]

IF i had to pick one, I'd pick Kaep.

Kaep and RGIII are the same guy, except Kaep can at least stay healthy.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I'd take Manziel. That would kick ass.

THIS !!!

[ThaVirus]

IF i had to pick one, I'd pick Kaep.

Kaep and RGIII are the same guy, except Kaep can at least stay healthy.

I actually like RGIII better from a potential talent perspective.

But I like Kaep's size and durability better.

Both seem to be pretty intelligent guys based on what I've read about them, but I don't like what I've seen from either when it comes to football smarts.

[BigMeatballDave]

Maybe RG3, maybe.

A definite NO on the other 2.

[King_Chief_Fan]

None until Andy is gone.

[Rausch]

Want none.

If anything I want to trade a HC and QB1...

[Dylan]

is this tonight's Thursday Night Football thread?

that's all.

[Rausch]

is this tonight's Thursday Night Football thread?

that's all.

Don't take this the wrong way but I'd buy two drinks for that goth-gal in your avatar before flipping a quarter to watch the Giants on TNF...

[Deberg_1990]

RGIII for sure. He still has the most upside and has actually had proven success even if it was just one season.


He was actually a very efficient passer his rookie year.

[The Franchise]

If I had to choose between the three of them.....I'd go with RG3. And that's only if he takes a backup QB's contract and sits for 1-2 more years. Learn the offense, get healthy and put some fucking weight on.

[Eleazar]

It just boggles the mind that there are people who have seen all we have seen from Griffin - one good season 4 years ago, constant injury since then, the attitude problems, the sniping in the press, zero sign of any maturity whatsoever - and people still think he's worth taking a chance on. He is nothing. He has no upside.

There is not one thing in the world to distinguish him from any of these other one-read QBs who came into the league while that fad was in.

And if you look at the competitors, Krapernick sucks and is immature but at least he's durable. Manziel sucks and is immature but you could pollyanna your way into thinking if he kicks all his substance issues he might be worth a chance. Neither has had as much of a chance to learn to play quarterback as Griffin has. Griffin is the one that makes zero sense among the others that might make 0.5% sense.

[GloucesterChief]

None of the above.

Read Option QBs have been figured out.

[ILChief]

I'd rather just start Aaron Murray

[ThaVirus]

If I had to choose between the three of them.....I'd go with RG3. And that's only if he takes a backup QB's contract and sits for 1-2 more years. Learn the offense, get healthy and put some fucking weight on.


Isn't the dude like 6'2" 220? He's a decent size, I think it's just proportioned in a way that he appears to have twigs for legs.

More important than adding any weight for him would be learning how/when to slide or run out of bounds. Seriously, the guy gets absolutely lit the fuck up on about 75% of carries.

[Jewish Rabbi]

Johnny. Fucking. Football.

[tecumseh]

I'll take the unknown. I doubt any of these guys will be starting in two years.

[Dylan]

Don't take this the wrong way but I'd buy two drinks for that goth-gal in your avatar before flipping a quarter to watch the Giants on TNF...

Pumpkin, can you please start the Thursday Night Football Game Thread - It's On :D

Anyone?

It's Jawney Football time

Thanks in advance!

[Simply Red]

I'd take Manziel. That would kick ass.

so crazy I betcha it happens.

[MahiMike]

Stafford after Detoilet cleans house.

[Spott]

Just what this team needs is more reject QB's from other franchises, especially the 49ers.

Its worked so well before!

[dls6501]

I don't want a single one of them near our team. If someone had a gun to my head and told me to pick one, I guess it would be Kaepernick based on his work ethic. All three have subpar skills, lack football smarts and are immature. Kap would be the lesser of the three evils since at least he works hard.

[007]

no. No. NO!!!

Draft one until you hit. I'm sick and tired of living on retreads and getting nowhere.

[bevischief]

Unless you can combine them into one QB maybe...

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Turd convention?

[New World Order]

If I had to absolutely choose between the 3 I would go Crapernick.

[O.city]

Amazing that Kaep performed the best of all of them when in a stable functional environment, the other 2 were with the browns and skins.

Huh, maybe there's something to that

[Mile High Mania]

I think I'd rather have Tebow...

[Mile High Mania]

Also, I think nobody is realizing we're seeing a slow fade to Cam Newton's numbers year over year. Go look at them...

http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/13994/cam-newton

In 1-2 years, he'll be considered spare to fare, that's my HSO of the day.

And, as a follow up there, Cam has been mentioned by some as a possible MVP candidate... I'm not seeing it. I get that his team has been on a great win streak going back to 2014, but I'm not seeing it.

Not including the rushing numbers here, but as a comparison... he only has 3 more rushing TDs than the 3 people I'm comparing him to in the data below.

Without looking, which is Cam? (stats YTD)

A - 1,442 passing yards / 8 TD / 4 INT / 87.5 rating
B - 1,523 passing yards / 11 TD / 7 INT / 78.1 rating
C - 1,969 passing yards / 9 TD / 3 INT / 92. rating
D - 1,615 passing yards / 6 TD / 5 INT / 78.8 rating

[FD]

I don't think you can lump Manziel in with RG3 or Kaepernick. Kaepernick has played in the Superbowl, RG3 had one of the greatest rookie seasons of any QB ever. Manziel is just garbage.

[chiefzilla1501]

This. Kaepernick failed with good pieces around him.
RgIII is the most intriguing of the three. There are few qbs in our time that have dealt with as much dysfunction as he did.

But far as I'm concerned, why get a veteran project when you can get a rookie project

[O.city]

What qbs have dealt with dysfunction?

[chiefzilla1501]

What qbs have dealt with dysfunction?

No QB has dealt with more than RGIII.

Niners OC sees some of Alex Smith in Blaine Gabbert

With the San Francisco 49ers moving to Blaine Gabbert for Sunday's tilt against the Atlanta Falcons, offensive coordinator Geep Chryst compared the signal-caller to a certain former Niners quarterback: Alex Smith.

Smith, like Gabbert, was drafted at 21 and needed to adapt from a spread run system into a pocket passer. Chryst, who was with Smith in 2011 and 2012, believes with time and a fresh opportunity Gabbert can follow Smith's path to becoming a stable quarterback.


"Alex came here, was very young and played, had to slug out a lot of tough situations," Chryst said Thursday, via ESPN.com. "We felt like Blaine had all this talent, and as a young player, maybe a change of scenery would be good for him. He's really applied himself well in the classroom. He's engaged and active; he's a really bright guy."

Comparing and contrasting Smith and Gabbert could make your eyes bleed. The Around The NFL Podcast aptly discusses the "Gabbert-zone" for quarterbacks that hover around the 5-to-6 yards per attempt mark. Smith lives in that zone. But at least Smith has become a competent quarterback who can run an offense and win games. We've seen nothing from Gabbert to suggest he can turn it around.

For his career, Gabbert has a 53.0 completion percentage, 159.4 passing yards per game, a 22-24 TD-INT ratio and a 66.1 passer rating -- the lowest rating in the NFL since 2011. He has a 5-22 record and lost his last 10 starts.

The move to Gabbert feels like the inverse of when Colin Kaepernick usurped Smith's job in 2012. At the time Jim Harbaugh stuck with the player he believed had upside. The move to Gabbert is a desperation heave.

"He does get the ball out differently; that's just his style of play," Chryst said of Gabbert. "We'll see if that matches up with a spark that we want to get, in terms of the pass game, getting the ball out. But our charge is to still get the run game going.

"We have to let it play out ... where we are as an offense, we've got to do something. And we'll leave no stone unturned trying to come up with a plan to win Sunday."

That has to be depressing for San Francisco 49ers fans to read. "We've got to do something" feels like the worst reason to make a changes. Especially one to Blaine Gabbert.

[Red Dawg]

All three of them need find a different line of work. If you can't win games from the pocket using your brain then you are not NFL QB material.

None of them will be anything more that an every once in awhile winner.

[KINGPIN CHIEFS FAN]

Stafford after Detoilet cleans house.

This is the only retread that I would consider. If we could get rid of Alex and trade for Stafford we would have a real quarterback. I know we can't unload Alex but it's nice to dream.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

To clean Arrowhead toilets?

[New World Order]

Don't give them any ideas.

The artwork was featured in both colors - pink and blue.

I am curious, why were you looking for the artwork?

However, since you did find it, can you resize the photo down to 150 by 150 pixels so I can see if I like it better in blue?

Please use the photo from the original Website where I found it at the time:

http://gallsource.com/fashion-wallpaper/pc-wallpaper-fashion-photography-wallpaper.html

I think I did try the blue at first but found the artwork in pink more eye catching - to me anyway.
