Scroll down the link mid-way to see the first half/second half stats I mention. He was inaccurate and ineffective in so many 2nd halves.. but the numbers won't reflect that as much since they get blurred into the whole of the games.
I don't hate Kaep at all. I never blamed him for the decisions of the coaching/FO. I think he evolved into quite an idiot from the once humble person he was. I don't typically care for backyard baller types that refuse to improve on their weaknesses. But I don't hate, resent, or think of Kaep at all. I actually feel a little bad for him. He got over-hyped early on.. let it get to his sponge-head, and easily fell victim to some strong influences surrounding him. When he started out, it was easy to see the natural talent. Great arm, very fast straight-line speed.. moxie.
He's not a terrible QB.. but he's not good enough to look beyond all the off-field crap that comes with him.. and it's easy to doubt that his football dedication will ever reach an acceptable level. |
Colin Kaepernick:
1st Half: 11 TD's, 3 INT's
2nd Half: 5 TD's, 1 INT
Your Alex:
1st Half: 9 TD's, 4 INT's
2nd Half: 7 TD's, 5 INT's

(This doesn't add up with his 15-8 line, so I'm guessing this includes the playoff game). Point is, I'd take those 2nd Half numbers from Kaep over Alex any day of the week, especially since Kaep played in less games than Alex.
Try again, whistle-britches.
