Didn't see any panic so far this year

If I had 2 or 3 300+ pound guys running at me full speed I would be too lol but I thought he looked calm today for the most part.

I think some people just have unrealistic expectations. I don't think I would be going out on a limb by saying there are at least 20 starting QB's that aren't as good as Kap. He's no Brady or Rodgers but he sure isn't Dalton either.

where did he visibly panic? when he was controlling the offense? when he was making all the throws? when he was on the sideline getting coached up? when he was going up to the players and encouraging him? where was his visible panicking lol

if you mean he looks displeased with the way things are going if we're down huge. that isn't alarming. i'd much rather have him unhappy about that then to have him ok with it i.e. cutler.

there isn't a qb worth a grain of salt who doesn't have an angered look on their face when their team isn't performing well.
nobody

Can't believe people are responding to the alt troll.

Last year he looked panic. Not this year.

Looks like Rodgers is panicking. Possibly choking this game away

Russell Wilson is so good. Basically, woke up after the half, boom, boom, boom, 2 TDs thank you very much.

Agreed. Kaepernick was hands down the best player on the field today.

Why was he asleep for the first half, and the first half of almost every game?

Hey so did kaep

On one sack in particular kaep seemed to see the d line break through and then run backwards in a frantic spasticated motion with his arms and legs flailing weirdly. It just looked like he was literally terrified which strikes me as odd for a professional in that position.

He didn't run in the 1st half that's why. Russell Wilson is at his very best when you let him run and do his thing. They tried to do a Kap at the start of last season and tried to turned him into a pocket passer and the Seahawks was screwed. Once Pete Carroll realized the way to go about RW is to unleash him and let him do his thing and the team came back. Russell is am amazing player. You just can't tackle him and he throws a perfect spiral and can put air under the ball. He is way better than Kap I am afraid.

I guess you haven't watched football before...it can be the only explanation

For our team I agree. Brown looked unstoppable.

I haven't watched much football, you're right, and what I have seen the qbs often look pathetic and ridiculous. It's just weird to my eye and these are genuine questions. If it's normal it's normal. I said last week roethlisberger stands out to me as one of the rarely impressive QBs, I guess because the d doesn't seem to make him look like a wuss. In the pats/steelers game I thought brady looked stupid but then I saw on all the analyst shows they were praising him so I'm just trying to understand how this works. Kaep looked bad to me today and week 1. But I admit more knowledgable people than me are saying he looked good so I'm trying to see what they see.


Eli Manning looked like he should be sent to the CFL after week 1, if he's lucky. I just thought it was one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a pro athlete in any sport, but the only thing that made big news was his rb having the nerve to question him. Still getting used to the culture.
