I believe we saved 8 Mill by letting Alex go, to keep our defense in tact.
Which is exactly what the Chiefs are doing as well? Same #?
And the Chiefs were confident in making the trade because they had a hungrey strong armed QB, who could also move with his legs.
Pat Mahomes' favorite QB growing up was Brett Farve.... Who is also Kaepernick's favorite.
Pat says he likes to take chances... wants to do everything out there to help his team win... at all costs. Well Kaepernick used to say the same things....
Then Harbs reeled Kap in and made him a safe QB.... Big plays here and there..but limit taking chances until we needed them. (Stressful experience for us fans imo)
So.... now with Pat, he has a coach who worked with Farve. So will Andy Reid let Pat go all out to see his potential? I think so, more so than Harbs did with Kap. Harbs, in his defense, had a formula. A team formula. It worked for a bit. So it is what it is.
I'm just curious how Andy Reid will go with Pat.
Harbaugh's failure to develop Kaepernick is one huge deal that many 49er fans overlook. Harbaugh gets a pass for his 1960's offense, his poor game/clock management and juvenile sideline behavior just because he was such a much better coach than Nolan/Singletary, but in truth he was only good by comparison. He had numerous failures and Kaepernick is the one with the longest lasting impact on the 49ers. Not Kaepernick per se but Harbaugh's failure to do anything with him that CK could not do when he came out of college.
He got the best out of his Qb's including Alex Smith when no one wanted Alex Smith. That's a huge gamble, then actually doing it during a lockout...
He got the best out of Keapernick as well.. Too bad the GM couldn't keep up and replace Alex Smith and do his job..
Must be nice not doing you're job for 6-7 years and still getting a paycheck...
He must have felt secured and comfortable while he drove this franchise to the ground....
Never forget....
