I see a better Colin Kaepernick the Quarterback than any year he has been in the NFL.....as long as he keeps getting better each year, he will win. I read posts and I just shake my head at some of the comments like he has regressed or he looks the same. I get it, most of them don't know football. But, this is a damn good QB and I pray he is a 49er for his whole career. Clean up the drops and o-line issues and sometimes take alittle off the throw, Kaep will be just fine.

I worry poor o-line performance will make it difficult to see him shine and he will be blamed.

As long as those who know football within the 49ers organization do not blame him then all is well.

The QB is always blamed....ALWAYS....but if he can overcome a bad o-line play and tune out any and all distractions that may come up....He will be fine

Overcoming horrible line play is a lot to ask. Hopefully the line will come together for him.

Kap is getting better at his hard count but we're not taking advantage of teams jumping (see Aaron Rodgers). We need to take those free plays when we get them.

Thats a great point to make. We're happy with the 5 yards when we should be going deep. I hope someone sees this on the coaching staff

Can't take advantage when refs stop the action

this. they always stop the play when it happens to us but other teams get free plays on us. whats the deal? is there a reason theyre stopping it?

OL are deliberately tapping the DL who crosses the line to kill the play and get the free yards. On 3rd and 5, its the right thing to do.

I'd rather he snap the ball when they cross and get a free play and the five yards if it fails.

I can't imagine how good our offense would be with a top-5 O-Line.

A few things that I'd like to see the offense do...

1.)Move Kaepernick around in the pocket more. We were doing a pretty good job of that against the Vikings, but not so much against the Steelers.

2.)I'd like to see some more play-action passes, especially if Hyde is having a good game.

3.)Even though this is number 3, it's probably the thing that I'd like to see changed the most, and that's all of the 3-TE sets. The coaching staff thinks it helps our running game more, but I think that it hurts it. Taking all of the speed off of the field lets the Safeties not have to worry about getting beat deep. It lets them play the run better.

The Crypt Keeper is on the radio here, just s**tting all over Kaepernick.

"He still looks exactly the same to me, can't get past his first read, still struggling, I don't know why the 49ers are talking about a reset, he looks exactly the same."

Clayton is terrible. But the local sports talk here in Phoenix is even worse. Naturally, we are all homers for our teams. But these guys take the cake.

Just yesterday on Phoenix radio:
"Carson Palmer is the best QB Bruce Arians has ever coached"
"Larry Fitzgerald is the same as he was at 22. Still elite."
"Patrick Peterson is the top CB in the game today."
"The Cardinals are the only true contender for the NFC Championship"
"What a dominating performance over the Bears last week!" (no mention they didn't have Cutler for half the game, or Jeffry)

It goes on and on. When I listen to Bay Area radio, they're just crucifying the Niners (much of it deserved). At at least there's some semblance of balance.

I love living in Arizona. But the sports media here is incredibly soft when it comes to their hometown teams. Hard to listen to.

This whole kap "can't get past his first read" narrative is such played out bull s**t. It's just not true, yet is thrown around like its 100% fact. I just wonder why the garden gnome up in Seattle doesn't have the same narrative attached to him..,he's much more of a one read guy that kaps ever been.

Yeah Cards fans are 10x worse than Hawk fans imo. Its been really nice not having to listen to them for a few years but they are the homeriest homers possible.

As far as Clayton on Kap thats just the way its going to be. Kap is gonna have to play well ALL season to MAYBE get some love outside the Bay. The one read, then run narrative has been drilled and drilled and drilled. its going to take more than 2 games to stop it but its only going to take 1 bad gane at anytime to bring it back in full force.

The Cards homer even disagreed with Clayton, basically saying that he has definitely seen definitive improvement in his form and decision making.


I dont think Clayton understands how much of a Seahawks shill he is.



But yeah the media here is unfailingly optimistic and positive although I cant say that is any worse than the Bay Area media always looking for something to b***h about. I will listen to Doug and Wolf in the mornings since Wolfley, while in the tank for the Cards completely, can be very objective at times and has a great understanding of the game.

We need some height in our WR corps. Our redZone offense has been terrible for years.

Smelter should be available next year at 6'3" for some height.
