Kaep had Crabtree Boldin and VD to throw to at one point with gore coming out the backfield. Everyone wants to act like kaep had bums his entire career.
Kap did play with Bums majority of his career. KW, Marlon Moore, AJJ, Lamike James, Jon Baldwin, Vance. That list is from 2013 alone (10 starts into his career).
Boldin had a year left in him when we got him (was our WR1, goes to Lions and is like WR5). Vernon was in and out with injuries but still had a great year in 2013. We did eventually get Crab back (Kaps numbers reflect the moment Crab came back) but he was about 70%.
2014 was a collection of old ass WRs on their literal last legs, Crab complaining and dropping everything, and Vernon just playing uninspired and dropping everything. The state of the franchise reflected the play on the field in 2014.
Anytime Kap had a decent supporting cast (2012, and the tail end of 2013) he played really well.
Kap also had Delanie, Moss, Manningham, Crabtree, Ginn, Vance etc.
Delanie, Crabtree, Ginn, and Vance got a lot better the second they went to another team. That's my biggest gripe with Kap, he didn't elevate the play of any of his teammates.
