Really, Kap isn't comparable to the greatest QB of all time and one of the greatest QBs of all time?

when those two made it to the super bowl they won, no qb has failed the 49ers in the capacity Kap did today, but really who thinks this thread was about comparing talent
Can't blame Kaepernick. The guy played his ass off for being his 10th start in the NFL and his first Super Bowl game. It's not his fault the secondary on D and the special teams failed them...
He's definitely at fault for airmailing receivers in the endzone.
yeah it's his d's fault he threw the game winning ball 3 yards out of bounds, it's his special team's fault that they had to waste two timeouts in the second half
kapernig played alright. he did the bed there at the end.
i would say he'll get better next season but i can't. coordinators will have more take on him and the pistol. its ultimately up to him to work on his mechanics/studying/etc. r qbs seem to be contempt leaning on their jungle instincts and abilities.
mcnabb was the only black qb i can recall that actually play the position like a qb...
What in the are you talking about? Get rid of the hillbilly dialect and make sense. Kap killed in the air. Ask the Falcons.
I think the last trip in the red zone is on the head coach and the offensive coordinator. Why they passed on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th and goal is beyond me. They should've tried a running play or two to Gore Or Kaep. Instead they tried to throw it into the end zone knowing that the Ravens D was gonna stick to every receiver like glue...
Exactly my thoughts. 5 yards! Gore made a 7 yard run shortly before that.
let me rewrite everything for you since you have no reading comprehension skills...
i gave the boy his due. i said he played well. status post blackout he gained his composure and was able to take advantage of the ravens' prevent-bend-don't-break-defense.
those last 3 throws in the goal line however...not so much. the reason that last play wasn't called illegal contact/interference was because he chucked it 5 yards out of bounds.
again like i said...if kap works hard and tries to improve during the off season he won't end up looking like your boy cam. he might be able to overcome the league catching on to his tendencies.
You didn't say any of that . Your last two posts are completely different from each other. Good job cleaning it up with your second post though.
Two horrible takes, made by posters who either didn't watch--or don't understand football. Once Gore broke off that 33-yd run to set them up first and goal the Ravens packed the middle and kept a spy home (one of the LB's--I wanna say Ellerbe) to shadow Kaepernick. This is evident by the first two playcalls (both good calls): run up the middle (stuffed), and a bootleg to get Kaep in space to give him the option to run or pass (well-covered by Baltimore). 3rd down he dumped a five yd pass to Crabtree and 4th down he airmailed the game out of the endzone.
So what was the solution huh DD? What you got?
Have a better QB
No question Kap is better than Alex. I thought we were past this.
What do you mean, what was the solution? The first 2 play-calls were the correct calls (Baltimore just played them perfectly). The 3rd down call was questionable, but Crabtree probably wasn't the first option on that particular play. On 4th down, Kaep gave his WR absolutely no chance. If he throws that ball inbounds, he probably forces the ref to throw the flag.
lol.
Solution was to bulldoze through the line with the run. I would say run on all four downs.
They. Packed. The. Middle.
they were playing run, the qb should be able to complete a pass when the opponent is playing for the run
So? They would've pushed that pack all the way in to get the tip of the football on the white line.
Cue 31 other teams studying gamefilm on Kaepernik for the 2013 season. Especially Green Bay who didn't even look at the tape,apparently.
Kid better be ready. It ain't gonna be so easy.
McNabb's game was somewhere between Rodgers' and Romo's. He really didn't scramble for big yards a lot, but he was great at buying time in the pocket and burning defenses for giving him open field to run for a first down.
I will say that there were other black quarterbacks who didn't have a run-first mentality, however. After he broke his leg, Cunningham was a lot more of a pocket-passer. He was very good at it, too.
Dante Culpepper was a pocket-passer, too. Flacco reminds me a lot of him, physically. But Culpepper's career got derailed with injuries, and having Moss to throw to early in his career stunted his ability to hit players in intermediate routes. This is why I'm glad that Flacco lacked a deep threat for his first three years.
And we can't forget good old Byron Leftwich, who despite his 30-yard scamper against the Ravens this season is the an hesis of a running quarterback. He had a few good years, but he was hurt way too much and had too slow of a throwing motion to ever become elite.
, even Jamarcus Russell was a pocket-passer. He sucked at the mental aspect of football, but he wasn't a read-option player by any means.
