Colin Kaepernick Thread

Yeah, it's like he's not aware of what's going on around him.

It is time t pull the plug on Kaep, and at the end of the season on Brake and the coaching staff. My last post I said pulling Kaep for Gabbert would be a mistake. I was wrong. After seeing Torrey Smith wide open and Kaep not even looking at him.... I was just sick. It isn't as if I think Gabbert is any good, but there is no reason to keep Kaepernick out there. We need to dump him at the end of the the season and if he gets hurt it will screw us on the salary cap.

Jim Harbaugh rarely shares too much.

But his father said Wednesday that his San Francisco son shared his intention to draft Colin Kaepernick a day before it happened.

If this is true, after a few seasons harbaugh must've realized he was a terrible qb and didn't mind leaving with the way the front office was treating him as well. I mean I think if he thought kap was the real deal he would've stuck it out and broke records, but realizing the qb sucks and then the front office spitting in ur face probably made it an easy decision to leave. That's my pure speculation though.

Maybe the front office spit in his face because they let him pick the QB and he blew it.

Then they are just as stupid for giving him a huge deal(even if it is team friendly)

The worse thing that can happen IMO is we start gabbert. Gabbert plays worse, and then somehow gabbert becomes a scape goat, like a "see look how much more worse we look with gabbert playing its not just the qb." Problem is we are all aware it's not just the qb but it damn sure has alot to do with him. Kaepernick should be light years ahead of gabbert and i hope the front office agrees. I think the best scenario is gabbert plays well enough to keep the job for the rest of the year, but we lose enough to draft a real franchise qb next year.

I have similar thoughts. I don't think Gabbert will be worse than the way Kaep is currently playing. I actually think Kaep is better, but he isn't playing like It right now. We can't win with the current way he is playing... As a fan I would love to see Gabbert play and be successful. But if he is even slightly better he should start. We should give the team every possible chance to win.

Intelligence is fascinating. Guys who have QB intelligence often can't tell you what they see or why, but they look out at the defense and would see that uncovered receiver without even turning their heads. A matter of a thousand plays, unconsciously counting defenders in front of you, peripheral vision, having a mental check system that is unconscious by this point...some guys have it, some don't. Kaepernick has so many skills that it seemed possible for him to develop more QB awareness as he used his skill set. Now it appears he is floundering in an offense that was tailored to him. Perhaps it was simplified too much and defenders are reading it faster than CK is able to read the defense...

OK, that's obviously happening. But is it fixable? Just how much is the OL responsible? The first drive looked pretty good...some fast hits, drove down the field, but then stalled. Still, three points.

I'm not "defending" anyone. I'm simply pointing out to our idiot fans who have such a hate-on for the guy that his play is more a function of the s**tshow around him than anything else right now. Can't wait to see Gabbert get in there and get destroyed behind that swiss cheese line, though. Joe Montana couldn't thrive on this team right now, but our dumbass fans apparently think Kap is Satan personified.

I would like for the geniuses here to simply acknowledge the multitude of problems with this offense instead of constantly herp derping ZOMG BENCH KAP.

No #1 receiving targets
No OL
No RB stable
No proven coaches

Other than that, everything is great in terms of laying the groundwork for successful QB play. I really do want Gabbert to play so some of you can see what a QB with no athleticism will do with this garbage offense, especially that line.

1) no one really hates Kaep the person, just Kaep the QB
2) everyone knows our short comings when it comes to the offensive line. But the problem is what's his excuse when he has over 4 seconds to throw?
3) every QB is trained to get rid of the ball within 3 seconds. A good line can block for 3; A great line can block for 4; An amazing Line blocks for 5+. A QB with 3 seconds should complete his pass. A QB with 4 seconds should complete a big plays at a great rate. A QB with 5+ seconds should be murdering the opposing defense. The fact that Kaep gets worse the longer he has is aHUGE issue.
4) Boldin, Smith, Simpson and the young guys are a talented WRing core. Hell Boldin and Smith led the Ravens to a SB win. One of the best groups since TO and Rice, only 1 group was better since TO/Rice, and that was last year. 4 guys who had 1,000 yards receiving season (Boldin, Crabtree, Lloyd, Johnson). And Kaep still sucked with them.
5). The biggest complain is the play calling, but if the OC has to simplify the play calling because of Kaep, who's fault is it really?

Torrey was wide open. And pissed that Kap didn't know anything about it. Kap is inept. Where's that pic of Gonzo as Kaepernick from the game day thread???

I get what you are saying, but I'm more or less saying maybe it would light a fire under his, and the teams, ass.

Sorry to bring Alex up, but him nearly getting benched saved his career. He started playing better after that point.

Harbs saved his career

This is just sad and pathetic. IMO, the game that truly broke Kaepernick was the NFC Championship game in Seattle. He was balling until his massive choke in the fourth quarter. What we have since witnessed has been a slow decline into total awfulness. Right now, CK is projected to throw for 12 TDs this season. Even QBs on awful teams like the Jags can do more than that. If a WR wants to end his football career, he will go to team with CK as the quarterback because he will never see the football.

My last post in this thread. Does Kaep notice Torey open a year ago and get him the ball?

While I agree his career is in shambles, I don't agree about WRs ending thier football career because of Kap.

Boldin has back to back 1,000 yard seasons something he never had while in balimore and crab had his only 1,000 yard season with Kap...best thing SF can do right now is bench Kap and let him clear his head if that doesn't work got to move on.
