I think is love for kap ended when he lost his Trent dilfer ESPN connection. He needs to stick to his narrative how soccer is gonna take over the US.

Week 1 was acceptable
Week 2 was garbage time

And Kaep had a pff grade of -10.1 last year, he hasn't been good since 2013

Week 1 and 2 were legitimately good. His completion percent was around 70%, his rating was like 98.0, etc... I think you're selling him a little short. More importantly, he looked good; regardless of what the stats say, he was was showing signs of genuine improvement. I'd say it was as good as he's looked since setting the world on fire during the Super Bowl run.

Week 3 was horrific though, no doubt about it.

I'll be that guy on this one. Week one we had Carlos tearing it up, making it a lot easier on Kap. Week 2, I'd argue that by the time Kap started playing well, the game was well out of hand. No pressure. We all know week 3

I do however agree that Kap "looked" better in some spots, for whatever that's worth.

We'd be 1-2 with Harbaugh too. Firing Harbaugh was the right move. It might turn out Tomsula was the wrong one. Much like Erickson.

I heard someone say we will win as long as we have Jed York. Is that you?

Maybe we would be 1-2. I doubt we would have gotten our asses handed to us two straight weeks under Harbaugh though.
Kaep needs to develop a short memory after something bad happened during the game. All players have to go through it. And the qb is one of the positions that requires it. I think he had overcame some early turnovers before. But the last game was at a new level to overcome. Don't care how good a qb, 2 pick 6's in consecutive first drives will kill any confidence going forward and takes a while to overcome during the game if at all.

This is a big turning point moment in his career. Either he overcome it and be much better for it, or languished over it and be the new Mark Sanchez.

There were plenty of games under Harbaugh where we got our asses handed to us. Now it's possible Vic would've come up with a better game plan and kept things close but the offense would be the same thing it is now. Doesn't appear Tomsula understands the previous regime formula for offensive success wasn't a good one. Trying to duplicate it without a defense that can keep you in the game is a recipe for failure.

Short memory? Dude seems like he holds grudges and doesn't let things go. Maybe it is in his book.
Through 3 weeks, Kaepernick's QB rating and QBR are 71.1 and 47.5 respectively. Pathetic. Andrew Luck are 65.1 and 30.9 respectively.

Not saying Kaepernick is a better QB than Andrew Luck, but what I would say is even great QB can have a bad series of games. Also Luck had no new headcoach nor offensive coordinator, correct me if I an wrong. Kaep has an unproven Geep Chryst at offensive coordinator. It is too early to bench Kaep. Give him some time to turn things around.

What exactly do you think Harbaugh might have done that would have prevented the last two blowouts?

Good perspective. Still some reason to hope for a turnaround.

I think he would have the team ready to play after an embarrassing loss at Pittsburgh. Game was over at half time the last two weeks.
