Can this hybrid white/black QB make it in the nfl? How's his accuracy?
symple should answer this. from what I've seen, which has been limited, his accuracy is iffy. He's got a cannon for an arm and can run, reminds me a little like Randall Cunningham, but I think his accuracy needs to be more consistent. Though Alex smith has taken awhile to get as accurate as he is.
Eh, not great. He's another run first spread er that never felt a center's balls until he hit the NFL. HIFI is correct that he has a rocket launcher for an arm and is a special athlete, but I have yet to see any evidence that he'll translate into a viable drop back/pocket passer
He wasn't bad today, imo. Had it been Alex Smiff I don't think the Niners claw their way back. He was able to keep plays alive with his legs, but he also missed a lot of open receivers by failing to adequately get through his progressions. I will say this, he can feel the rush a million times better than Alexandra can.
Bottom line - He's not the long term answer in Greg Romans system. He's fine for red zone gimmick work, but otherwise he should be holding the clipboard and passing out water. The ing Niners still need a prototypical drop back passer if they're ever going to return to the promised land
You hear that Baalke?!?!?!?!?
Harbaugh wants him to be the long-term answer. They know Smith won't get them there.
Neither will Kap. Somewhere, deep inside, Harbaugh knows this
He can't make all the throws so no he isn't the answer to anything, he is a situational/gimmick player. He has to be put in spots and situations tailor made for his talents. He could never be a starting QB but that's not why the Niners drafted him either.
making some great throws tonite. liking what i'm seeing in a real game situation.
I really think the Niners want him to be that guy because they can be so versatile with him back there. He's not a gimmick in their eyes.
Spags is crapping in his pants right now.
this .
First time I seen this guy, he looks pretty damn good out there.
I sure hope I'm wrong about him, but he does look good tonight. Still, we need a bigger sample size before the semen cloud starts to form
All the talk out of Santa Clara confirms this, but I still don't know. I'll probably be pessimistic until he has a Super Bowl ring on, however
I don't blame you for being pessimistic. This team is easily good enough to win a Super Bowl. Very few flaws.All the talk out of Santa Clara confirms this, but I still don't know. I'll probably be pessimistic until he has a Super Bowl ring on, however
Has Smith lost his job? I actually want him to start next week in the Dome. Kaepernick scares the out of me.
Not that I know of. Smith is still being held out because of the concussion he suffered last week. He should start next week.
I knew he was out with the concussion, but with Kaepernick playing dynamically, should Smith be kept on the bench?
Doubt Harbaugh would bench a season-long starter for a guy who had one good game. Let's see how this tilt finishes and then watch what happens. Should be interesting to see what the chatter is like out of 49er headquarters if Kap finishes strong
I don't want to on Avante's prediction too much, he gets that enough on here tbh
Kaepernick looked very good. Hilarious Gruden compared him to Randall Cunningham, that's who I always compared him to. He just has a similar physicality to him.
Honestly, I hope this doesn't turn into a QB controversy though I'm sure the media will. We're fortunate to have two decent to good QBs right now. Smith has finally improved with the consistency, but no doubt Kaepnerick can make throws that Smith can't.
I definitely didn't expect this. I also always looked at him as a gimmick. He definitely showed that he can do some work out there tonight against that Bears defense. In Chicago's defense though, I don't really think they game planned for Kaepernick to assault from the air. It seemed like the defense just fell apart after the shock of Kaepernick shredding the defense with his arm. If Harbaugh decides to let Smith rest up next week and start Kaepernick, I hope he understands that the opponents will most likely be ready for him after tonights performance.
which means he can make all the throws and will be a starter.
Avante has the tiest talent judging and prediction abilities I've ever seen. Ever.
kaepernick is the truth.
dope thread
So far so good. Incredibly impressive in his first playoff start. Starting to feel optimistic about Kap and the Niners. Strange feeling, lol
Top 5 QB within 3 years.
