steelers and cards took away our strengths. Dare kap to beat you with his passing game and he will fold. Especially if he's playing from behind.

How is this surprising to anybody? The dude just isn't that good.
Maybe less commercials & more film/play book study??
Even then he's still not a QB, he's an athlete sure, but clearly not a QB.

Kaep is and will remain our quarterback. Deal with it.

The more posts I see asking for Kaep to be replaced, the happier I feel because I see how bad you guys are hurting.

Yeah baby! More Kap!

Interesting thing, I was listening to Pat Kirwin on NFL radio the other day and he was talking about Parcells yapping about how these youngsters in the NFL become so focused about their "brand" and marketing themselves to make $$$, that they forget about the game that got them there. In essence they lose focus and don't put the time and energy into learning the nuances of the game.

Outside the Mannings, I cannot agree more. Guys like Brady, Rodgers, Brees became commercial Giants after they proved their worth. Whereas "chumps" like Kaep and RGIII spend their time in the gym so they can look good for beats by dre, subway, etc.

Kaep needs to start paying attention to film

One of his worse performances no doubt, but lets not ignore the improvements from the first two games. If he doesn't bounce back against the Packers, then it will be time to panic.

The time to panic was when the niners signed him to a new long term contract

It seems a good defensive coordinator can take away the middle of the field and force Kap to throw to the outside. When that happens the results aren't too good.

We have a simplified offense... that should tell us all we need to know qb out Kap and Geep

My problem is that I've always thought Kaepers**t was not able to make accurate reads and decisions quickly enough to keep up with NFL defenses, and that was reinforced by the coaches saying they were simplifying the offense each and every year. That's more an aptitude thing than either an intelligence thing or learnable thing, so I've always been dubious on his improvement potential. Simplifying your offense is a formula to make you defensible.

Baalke said he gave Harbaugh his head on the qb position, and he wrote a contract to give himself a cheap out if it became necessary, I took that to mean he saw what I saw, and would entertain trade offers last summer. The sad part for me is that I think we could have gotten a first round pick a month ago, perhaps to a team likely drafting very high, which we could have used on a qb. After tonight, I think we're looking for a bag of Lays Classic Party Pack.

We hired a radio host to make him better

Kap is a good QB for the right team, just not ours. Teams with an awesome Oline, Running Game and Defense are perfect spots for Kap. We saw how he thrived on the 49ers a few years ago. Things have changed and the reality is we need Kap to be someone he isn't.

We no longer have that awesome defense or the awesome oline to help cover Kap's short comings. I'd love for him to be the man and carry this team, but it's not who he is.

Lol so hes good on a team even the worst nfl quarterback would be good on.

I wonder how Andrew Luck would look on this team. He might have 10 INTs with the bs o line we are trotting out there

Considering his play right now, might not be a bad idea to trade for him. Kaep and two first rounders

I didn't watch the game, so I'm not going to say anything about Kap.. but wow..it's been a while since we lost one like this.

Yes. Defenses are designed to take away your strengths.

Its hard to judge anyone on our team at this point. Coaches are seriously bottom of the barrell.

Still, he isn't that good. He can run in a straight line and throw really hard. He's a gimmick. He should have developed some kind of QB skills by now, but he's the same guy from his rookie season. How do you explain rookies playing better than him?
No more excuses, sure the o-line sucks or the system sucks, or the play calls suck. ENOUGH! Tired of most the fan base giving him a "pass" because of this or that.
He just isn't that good. He can't hide behind a great running game and great defense anymore.
