We'll never know till live bullets are firing.

Granted, I don't use FB, Twitter, IG, Snapchat, or anything of the like, but from what I have seen, isn't social media pretty much all about getting attention? All these social media platforms are a narcissist's wet dream...or topic for another day, do they create the narcissist? And if you're saying I "hate" (such an overused term...just like "amazing") Kaepernick, you're wrong, merely expressing my opinion on something he put out there for public consumption.

I do not follow much but thought some people follow news, sports and the arts on social media...sort of immediate news. I've seen tweets referenced from sports beat writers that are scoops.

why I use it...49er news, movie news, tech news, and video game news lol

I saw nothing there about telling everyone how your kid made the honor roll "AGAIN!!!", you almost died from your intense workout, or taking a picture of the Asian chicken salad you had for lunch. Well done.

your view of social media is stuck in 2004

I agree. What do you think of how it looks so far though? Hopefully he doesnt revert back once bullets start being fired.

I'm anxious to see him hit a RB in stride on a HB flare out - as stated by Bush. That's a throw that is a lot harder than it looks because the QB has to pivot his legs around to face the RB in the flat, and it must be hit in stride for the RB or he has no chance for RAC against a LB.

I know. I just copied and pasted. Maybe one day something positive about him will go viral.

Me too. Montana was so good at this he could actually direct the RB for optimal RAC based on touch and where he placed the ball...out in front...behind to slow the RB's momentum to cut back...left...right, etc. Thing of beauty. When the pass is made too is very important.

That's one of those take-it-for-granted throws that I used to love watching Montana throw to Craig...99.9% of the time he was able to catch the ball in stride so he could plant/cut to make the first guy miss.

Uh, most of these platforms weren't even around then, but okay, 2004. And between my wife, kids, nieces/nephews, friends, etc. who use social media, I see a lot of what's being communicated and it's pretty much exactly that.

I just don't get the zoners who think eh what the hell. I don't need a mature calculating QB who thinks things through. It's not about the Instagram, it's a larger pattern of behavior.

Kaps short game is one area im hoping for improvement, Kaps game has never really bothered me but his short passes the ones you need touch on hopefully all the work hes putting in will help this area, he needs to be able to throw the ball with touch everywhere on the field not just his intermediate to deep throws this is how you keep defenses on their toes.
