A few missed throws but overall he did some things we haven't seen him do. Now he needs to connect with Smith on some deep throws and this offense will be just fine.

Like watch Carlos Hyde for 168 yards?
Gotta say that his pocket prescence has improved.

That slide is shocking though. Just belly flops lol

Read 1, read 2, read 3, run? oops there is read 4 and he is...open. When was the last time anybody said that about Kap. Wow, what a difference a real HC, a real OC and a real QB coach have made...plus, you could see kap put some air under a few balls, a perfect touch. When he got excited on a few plays well into the second half, he did revert to the high hard one...ie, his super fast fastball. But only a couple. The rest of the time he just played fantastic. Congrats kap, great game. Great game plan, great coaching.

Agree. You can see the improvements & he will only get better with more reps during the season. But it is nice to see the work begining to pay off out there on the field. If o-line continues to play that way it will only help Kaepernick to get more comfortable in the pocket also. Go Kaepernick!
The deep ball needs to be worked on. We need that threat now.

That tip ball was a good heads up play. And for gods sake slide feet first.

Hard work does pay off

Analysis just said...the SF OL is really good! LOL! What did they say before the game?

the coordinator made them look good put them in perfect position to do what they do best.

nice zone runs nice quick throws and then when you do have the play action the defense is on its heels so they can pass block all night!

it will be worked on once teams leave smith open for shots. the 1 deep attempt was double covered. there was 2 deep safety almost every play.
so when you see that you run and you go underneath

Hey if it's good enough for Russy to be consensus top 10
Need to see Coaches film. But yeah seemed the deep stuff was blocked off. As far as Kap tho his comfort is there. He had some bad throws but hopefully thats just rust (didnt play much in preseason). Deep ball accuracy is still an issue but we gotta believe that'll be tuned right eventually. The key is to keep taking shots with TSmith or Ellington every game no matter what.

And that's the point many of us made all last year...and the year before. Coaching and play calling can really help the OL! Or if the coaches choose to run into a stack and force your OL to beat their guys one on one every down...they can really hurt the OL. I was so surprised at how tough the right side held firm tonight...wonderful to watch. All that movement and using extra TEs really confused the Vikings.
He's running to throw the ball, more than just running out of the pocket. Good stuff from Kaep

17of 26 for 165 yards 0 TD 0 Ints

65.38% Completion Rate

6.346154 yards per attempt

QB Rating of 83.0

One game done----at least 15 dmore to go

Played a smart game and kept his eyes downfield. Threw some passes away.

I would say Kaepernick's off-season work showed up tonight.

I'd say the oline showed up tonight.

I've been critical of his pocket presence but it was spot on tonight! Good to see his hard work in coming to fruition!
