It's called Camp Taylor and it's there for children suffering from heart disease and their families. Check it out. It's a great thing.

Yeah I already knew about Camp Taylor. I was under the impression that he started his own Charity/Camp for kid's with heart disease.

You're dispicable

I wonder if last year Kap often slipped into being too hesitant to belive what his eyes were telling him. It's so easy to lose track of a safety and next thing you know they are jumping in front of pass to a receiver who looked clear of his primary defender. I think maybe he took an extra beat or two to make sure, but then, even with his canon arm, it was too often too late, the window was gone. (I'm not suggesting that he did that all of the time, just that he tended to have some significant chunks of games where I think he slipped into that.)

But who knows how many interceptions he avoided because he took that extra beat or two. I think, though, that he has gained enough experience that he needs to stop doing that extra beat or two most of the time and sling it or scramble out into other possibilities. His interception rate may increase, but if with enough increase in total yards, third down conversions and touchdowns, a small to moderate increase in extra interceptions may be worth it. Oddly enough, it seems possible that if Kap has significantly improved his footwork that may help "crisp up" his assessing of passing situations. It seems like it was when he was most hesitant that his footwork and lower body mechanics were the worst. What was cause and what was effect?

I don't imagine Kap will ever have Aaron Rodgers current ability to snap the pass accurately at just the right moment for the receiver and make few mistakes that lead to interceptions (very few quarterbacks have Rodgers' mastery of that). But I don't think there's any good reason to believe that he isn't capable of getting a lot better. If the offensive line can hold up a little better this year, my guess is we will see that Kap has improved in those things. It wouldn't surprise me if he improved by quite a bit (especially if the offensive schemes and playcalling suit him well).

But... you never know until the games are played.

Insider Buzz: 49ers Express Concern About Colin Kaepernick's Offseason Workouts http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2476761-insider-buzz-49ers-express-concern-about-colin-kaepernicks-offseason-workouts?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=web-mob-art-vid-16 … via @bleacherreport

Did you even watch the video? Jason Cole talked to Tomsula and he said he loved what Kap was doing. Tomsula wanted to send Logan down to watch the workout but Baalke vetoed it so they wouldn't be violating the collective barraging agreement which is coaches cant work with players right now. Because they cant see what he is doing they only worry if he can carry over what he has learned to the playing field and will the coaching staff know what to do with him based on that work.

I say this with the most humility, but I don't think nobody has ever been who I'm trying to be. Nobody has the size, nobody has the speed, nobody has the arm strength, nobody had the intangibles that I've had. I'm not saying I'm the one-on-one type of person that this league will never see again. No, I'm not saying that, hear me out. I'm just saying that so much of my talents have not been seen in one person.

Yeah no s**t.

I'm talking about the f**king misleading headline.

Good post. It's amazing what Rodgers has become from the bench to the best. Let's hope Kap is on that same path.

I don't see what a Cam Newton quote has to do with this?

So the "Leader" of our team just made a joke on instagram about the Houston flooding that has killed several people? What a f**kin idiot......

Tom Crabtree had the best response to his post:

"7tupid."

I cannot get over the fact that people actually dwell over what some overpaid, meathead athlete has to say on some social media outlet. I like football not these individuals and there personal lives. As long as what they do with their personal lives is not detrimental to the team, I'm quite content with ignoring some overblown story some hack writer is trying to feed his/her family with. If I don't like the headline, I don't click.

This. He (Kap) is not my son, so I can't fix this. Thus, I'll just be mildly disappointed and move on. Wish we had a classier leader to our team like our other Bay teams...Curry, Posey, etc. If we did, maybe we'd have 3 Championship teams around here.

Must refrain... From ...beating... dead horse

Because Kap has all those intangibles.
