Lets pretend there isn't any structural damage in kaps arm. Kap barely started to lightly throw yesterday according to beat writers. He physically won't be ready in two weeks to start. It's very possible kap needs to slowly build his arm back like it was two months ago. I don't think kap will be physically available for a few weeks.
He was zipping balls yesterday. He should already be physically able to get reps in but not a lot of reps in. He will be practicing all next week. If they aren't lying and it's only a dead arm, he should be just fine.
He did take a step back but I think this is the best thing that could happen to a QB who heavily relies on his physical ability and is now forced to take more mental reps and get entrenched in the mental aspect of being a professional. It worked well for him a few weeks ago where the coaches were impressed at how quickly he was able to apply his mental reps.
Let's stop making excuses for the kid. I think this last year and this TC is the best thing that could have happened to him. His interviews are getting more to the normal side as well. Seems like a very nice guy with the usual social awkwardness. Would be great to see him become great and just be himself.
Only if Baalke doesn't eff it up.
hes physically able now i just think hes not playing because he didnt practice for the week which is common
but the conspiracy theorist in me says team wants kap to start allowing gabbert to play texans and broncos arguably two top D and in case of broncos they have best D in nfl and allow kap to play against GB who is a bit softer
Seeing how wide open the QB option was after our RB gashed the HOU defense, I immediately wondered if that was Kap, it would have been a TD.
That is the aspect where Kap crushes it compared to Gabbert. Yes, passing must be there but man, if our OL comes through and Hyde doesn't get hurt, we can go a lot farther with Kap than we can with Gabs...unless Gabbert finally finds his chi and starts getting comfortable.
I do want to add that this is what we did to MIN in game 1 last season and then the next week, defenses immediately played the read/option and forced us to throw jumping anything Kap looked at. That is my main concern.
