I'm guessing that with Torrey Smith, Reggie Bush, Anquan Boldin, V.Davis, Carlos Hyde, Ellington and Patton, Kaepernick is not worried about play-makers.

What about the s**tty downgraded Oline?

I don't even understand that take - are you saying the loss of Iupati automatically makes the line downgraded? I can't agree with that. Couldn't get much worse at pass protection than it was last season. And since the blocking scheme will probably be different, I wouldn't assume the running game will be worse without Iupati.

That take is, where did one of the worst pass blocking Olines improve? Do people think that any guy can step right in and become a probowl OL like Iupati? Our oline was by far the weakest link last year and it's pretty much the exact same Oline only now with an unproven starter.

You should already know the logic in NT Jiks...and that is "if they're no longer on the team, we must be upgrading!"...or or ..."It couldn't be any worse, so we must be improving!!!"


So did we downgrade when we went from Nate Clements/Shawntae Spencer to Carlos Rogers and Tarrell Brown? Huge downgrade when the former starting corners left the team and we replaced them with the latter. Then from Rogers and Brown to, name a starting corner from last season. Must've been another step back. The same goes from our abysmal decline at NT going from Aubrayo Franklin to Isaac Sopoaga to Glen Dorsey. Typical delusional Niners fans. We have been in decline since 2010 with all of the starters we lost and falsely assuming that we were upgrading because certain guys were no longer with the team.

I just hate fooling myself by thinking all those wins were progress! Fire Baalke now before we win a Super Bowl!

I honestly don't know if you are being sarcastic but if not than I have to respectfully disagree. Rogers/Brown was an upgrade over Clements/Spencer. Glen Dorsey was an upgrade over Isaac Sopoaga. I don't know what point you are trying to make but if you are trying to claim that Baalke is a bad GM you are not making a very good argument.

Sarcasm I believe!
Did he train with any of the TE's at that camp thing he was at?

No. He refused to work with any of the tight ends at that camp thing.

Kaepernick told Giles and Warner in no uncertain terms that he would not throw any passes to the tight ends at that camp thing in Arizona.

My guess is that the mere thought of throwing to any of the tight ends at that camp thing reminded him of Vernon Davis's miserable year.

Hard to take you serious when you think 6'4" 230 lbs is a "skinny guy".

He's 6'7 226...big difference.
uhhhh, no, he's 6'4" 230

Losing the point seems to be pretty common these days. On another thread, someone pointed out that Texans fans were pissed about the JJ Watt pick and like clockwork, the conversation got detoured into a nonsensical discussion about how Watt is so much better than Arik Armstead as if that was a legitimate argument at this time. Reading comprehension? No. Critical thinking? Nada.

Of course Kaepernick worked with any tight ends that were at that camp in Arizona.

Why would you bother asking?

Yes, sadly I fell prey to continuing that course...should have ignored it! But for some posters misunderstaning is a recreational pasttime. Some people read, others garden. these guys turn logic on its head and wait to see the mayhem.
