8 guys caught passes yesterday. Good distribution and an indication he is making multiple reads.

Yup, loved the way the offense was running. Kap hung in the pocket and stuck with his reads longer than he has in the past, and the offensive play-calling was very good too. Created a lot of easy completions to different players.

it's always been the lack of easy options. now he has the easy options to get positive yards and extend drives and plays.
the play calling on the game sealing drive was a thing of beauty. we finished with a TOUCHDOWN

Absolutely. Once they settled down and stopped hurting themselves with penalties, the offense was rolling. Our running game is going to rip teams to shreds this year, and the play-action game was highly efficient. I read somewhere that Kap completed a career high 10 passes off play action, and at one point completed 9 straight passes. It's easy when the scheme and play-calling suits your players.

that's all any other quarterback does. brady, brees, rivers, rogers they live off of short passes that extend drives. get into rhythms and then every once in a while take a shot.
kap can do all of that. the other side is if everything falls apart kap can run it 90 yards for a touchdown
this is why he is the new prototype imo

people are immediately running to he played like alex smith. they aren't slick. did brady play like alex smith? rogers? cause they essentially did the same thing kap just did. took what the defense gave them and made a play here and there. im pretty sure if their backs had 168 yards on 26 carries they would sit back and hand it off too.

This game was great in that the offense looked like it could run up and down the field at will...but for their youthful miscues! Once they settle down and get some time together...yowza!

Wait, where is NJ to call Colin a punk for wearing beats?

Ohh I'm afraid we wont be seeing him any more. RIP. I'd be shocked if he still likes the Niners, might just give in and root for his hometown Jets, after all Genos not the QB now Fitz is! I could list a long list of haters that we wont be hearing from for a long, long time. Cause this train ain't slowing down any time soon!

I hope so! I love that the 1st game of the year we immediately saw Kap's work in Arizona pay dividends. He had a calmness to him in the pocket, and made the "layups", as Warner likes to say. He gets it mentally, he just needs continued reps in a offense that suits his skill set. Once he consistently combines those layups with his big play ability, he'll be a force.

Reading "layups" reminded me of the play in the second half when Kap had a pass tipped up and there was a good chance of an interception but Kap jumped pretty high up and knocked it away. I remember thinking that for that moment he looked like a basketball player. (Seriously, though, I bet there aren't that many quarterbacks who could have done that.)

I thought that knocking down that batted pass to make it sure it was not picked showed some football intelligence.

He moved in the pocket better, but IMO did not throw better. Some ducks and mis-fires

Still waiting for him to connect deep with our "big" FA Torrey Smith.

It's the first game of the season after a pre-season where he barely featured.

Have some perspective please.

If the team keeps having success with Hyde running the ball, then eventually the defenses are going to have to "stack the box" and that would probably open things up deeper - if the line can give Kap enough time for the deeper receiving patterns to open up.

If you think about it we didn't show a lot on tape. I don't have All 22 but I'd imagine this game won't show Pittsburgh much. I think we'll go down field more next week.

You know it's true. This game was to get Pittsburgh to respect Carlos Hyde. They have no choice but do this because they couldn't even stop the run vs. the Pats. They'll have to overcompensate and I can see Kap popping off 400 yds on them. He's done it before under a lesser scheme and with just one WR.

This. Very heads up play.

He's been studying so much, watching tape, and trying to stay ahead of the competition

I guess the haters are quiet this week
