Football talk: What happened with Colin Kaepernick?
Keep the National Anthem / Political bullshit out of here. Daddy wants to talk football.
I am, admittedly, not a great judge of football talent. I am good at describing what I think are good attributes, what I think are shitty attributes, and I am always a glass half-full kind of guy. It's my nature. I'd like to know what led to the collapse of CK. I thought he looked solid coming out of Nevada, he took the league by storm, which sent Alex over to us. Then, When Harbaugh left, it all fell apart. Did defenses adjust to his speed? Is it his pocket awareness? Too meek, or too aggressive? Inaccurate? What happened? He just opted out of San Fran, and is now a Free Agent. 49er re-tread jokes aside, and political bullshit aside, is he a decent replacement for Foles, while we draft a rookie and let him develop? |

NFL stands for Not For Long. Kaep (and RGIII) gimmick offense was figured out and shut down. Kaep never learned to read more than half the field.

So, with that logic, if he had a good coach, he could be good again?

Don't even think about it.

James Bond is right. Don't even think what you are thinking. Slowly walk away from the keyboard and pretend you never started this thread.

So then you agree that coaching has a dramatic effect on QB play?

It was kind of strange. They stopped running the read-option that made him so dangerous in Harbaugh's final season which limited his effectiveness.
Combine that with a lack of premier targets and field awareness and he took a big step back. He also had an injury which contributed to his slide into this season. I still don't think he's fully recovered. He's gangly as hell now where before he was pretty solid. |

Gimicky guy who was more effective with his legs than his arm. Defenses have him figured out and he will never be a pocket passer. Fraud exposed and now done.
I dont want him or Foles

Even if his skills hadn't completely deteriorated, he'd have to be one of the top QBs in the league to overcome the level of baggage he'd bring to a new team and its fanbase.
Much like Michael Sam, Kaepernick is about to find out that nobody wants to deal with his personal agenda and the endless media shitstorm that comes with it when they're just trying to work. |

He's always been self absorbed and about his image. He doesn't care enough about football. He got paid and that was the end of it.
Just look at his body composition. He's always been slight framed, but this season even more so. If you don't have the passion to maintain an NFL frame then you certainly don't have the passion to be an NFL QB.

I could say with certainty that Andy Reid would not disrespect Alex Smith by bringing in Colin Krappernick.
Why even bring him up? That would be ridiculous this fan base would kill.

He had shoulder surgery this past offseason. That's the reason he looked so frail this year. |
