Am I the only one who remembers how awful Kaepernick was as a qb?

[lolatpaniccels]

Except he morphed into a combination of Montana and Vick every time he played the packers in the playoffs...

this lol

[x-trainer ben]

easily one of the worst of all time. terrible accuracy, zero offensive awareness. i never seen a dude take more terrible sacks than he did. he got credited for taking the 49ers from the superbowl on one of the best built teams in nfl history after alex smith was benched with having the highest qb rating in the league. why is it every time something like tebow gets signed all the kaepernick truthers come out of the wood work and act like he was good? NO HE FKING WASN'T

and to top it off. kaepernick opted out of his original contract. turned down his contract offer and then turned down multiple contracts even at highly paid back ups. kapernicks wants to make mahomes money without even having the mahomes productivity.

As a 49ers fan who remembers that period of time I will have to disagree. It isnt about football card numbers, but about making it to the big dance. And after the lights came back on in that Superbowl they had a chance to win.

yea so awful on his way to the super bowl

That's a bad argument, when you think of some other pretty bad QBs that won super bowls.

[Belome]

This is actually a good take a write up on it. The injury fuked him up.. but more importantly Greg Roman has proven with Lamar Jackson he CAN'T ADAPT. Every year the defense is going to counter what you do well, whether your Aaron Rodgers or Lamar Jackson. Your job as the O-Coordinator is to be innovative and come up with new wrinkles that work to your QBs strengths.... and time again Greg Roman has proven he isn't capable of that

Terrible take.

Roman got the absolute best out of these players.

The players have to progress.

Roman can’t come up with a fantastic scheme that fits his QB unless his QB is capable of running that offense.


He maxed out Kap and a Lamar.

Nobody els could get anything close to the production Roman has gotten.

Lamar wouldn’t be a starter if not for Roman.

LOL ok Mrs Roman

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

Why doesnt Kap gets a job now? Several things factor into this IMO. First would you hire someone who sued you for millions? No you would not. 2nd nobody wants to hire someone who is just going to bring a circus to town especially if you arent even sure he will be the starter. No team wants a backup QB that is controversial. 3rd once Kap legs go out he'd be worthless QB just like RG3.

Does Kap even want to play? I dont think he does and if not mistaken its been a couple years since he said he wanted to.

This x 100000000. All of this is exactly why Kap is not employed. He is talented enough to be a 2nd or 3rd stringer, but no organization is going to take on the media circus he brings for a backup QB. It's very simple.

[DynamicDot]

Everyone knows he sucks. The only people that want him in the league are liberals who agree with his political beliefs.

He might be talented enough to be a 2nd stringer. But name me one backup QB who is a distraction. You can't because nobody wants it. Backup QBs just simply do their job as a scout team and keep their head down.

And he would not accept the veteran minimum either

BRB highest paid backup in the league
BRB hasn’t played in 7 years
BRB media circus everyday
BRB kneeling gets more attention than the team winning

[WHChampion]

I disagree on one of the worst but he was clearly on a sharp decline. Soon as he saw how profitable it could be not playing, nobody in the world wanted him to play less than he did. He knows soon as he'd get on the field, any of the "what ifs" about his ability the morons cling onto would evaporate and so would the Nike and similar deals.

Even the biggest Kaep fanboys should have saw how bad they were being used soon as he did that last minute venue change for that workout a couple years ago. He didn't want to risk getting any offer, no matter how chitty, that blows up this whole "black balled" narrative.

yea so awful on his way to the super bowl

brb rex grossman

[BigDeeps01]

People must not remember that he got injured and came back noticably smaller and that's when his play really fell off

[BishsBMirin]

Not sure how some people still don't understand this. Each NFL franchise is a multi billion dollar business. He is not, and was not good enough to bring that much attention/distraction to an organization. A distraction is a distraction regardless of whether or not it is for a good cause or a bad cause. It does not matter. It is just not good for business. Especially in a team sport setting where distractions are detrimental to success. On the flip side, it was just as much of a business decision for Kap to handle it the way he has, as it was for teams to not bring him in. Once a team signs him, if he doesn't play well then he loses all the excuses made for him, he loses money, he loses out on the endorsements, etc. Kap was actually smart (from a business standpoint) to choose this route. He bet on himself going a different route and it actually benefited him. Especially when people are still praising him and talking him up as a football player and using hypotheticals and making excuses for him. If people don't actually understand that at this point then they are literally mentally retarded.

Bro Peyton Manning 2016 was peak great QB right? No quarterback has ever been bad that played in a superbowl right? RIGHT?!?
