Kaep Sitting for Anthem

Rough day for CK, but I heard he had some beautiful passes in pre-game warm-ups.
Perhaps, I didn't see any reports of that on Twitter. :hophead:

What is important however is that he proved, during the game he can throw deep and stretch the field, which Gabbert, with his noodle arm is incapable of. That is why even after the anthem controversy he is the starter and Gabbert is on the bench, he adds a dimension to the offense missing with Blaine.

This week was the first time since the preseason that he was able to work with the first team and it generally takes awhile for a QB and the WRs to get their timing down. So the fact he had a "rough day" was not unexpected, as evidenced by the fact that Buffalo was a popular choice as a streaming defense in fantasy.

So...if you had to choose between Colin and  Tim for your man crush....which one would you take?

Solid outing today, if we subtract those two forward handoffs to Patton, we've basically got an 11/27 day with 150 yards. If he would've missed Torrey Smith (where the defense apparently forgot about him and there was nobody within about 15 yards of him, and he almost did), he would've reverted back to the mean in his first game - 10/26 for 95 (less the 2 to 3 turnovers, so he had that going for him).

Thought he'd come in and give them a lift for maybe a game or two, doesn't look to be the case (hopefully). Going to be hard to keep pace with the Bears and Browns, don't need to take on any unnecessary wins.

 
 Now here is some class. 

Shady: "I'm inviting 15 or 20 Buffalo Police to Sunday's game through my foundation to show appreciation, as well as inner city kids."

And it wasn't a very good choice. Six points in my league. 

:barf:

 
13 for 29 is an interesting new dimension to the offense. 
Being able to throw deep was an added dimension that Gabbert lacked is what I was talking about, but I digress...

And you don't find having an actual vertical game that defenses will have to respect (instead of just dinking and dunking to Kerley) is not adding a dimension to the offense?

Okie Dokie Pokie.

Do you ever stop with the pathetic spin.  He was pretty bad today.  There are lots of crappy QB's who can throw the ball a long range.  The truth is Kaep stinking at QB has very little to do with this issue, except it will probably fade away due to his irrelevance.  

 
I still think Kaepernick is going to be a starting QB in the league. I just look around and see so much lousy QB play that he has a place.

None of them named Blaine Gabbert. :hophead:

No, overall he didn't look good. Stipulated. But you keep overlooking the fact that he had not even practiced during the regular season with the first team until this week. He had no opportunity to work on his timing with receivers. The fact that he struggled should not be a shock to anyone. Things should improve if he remains the starting QB and there is no guarantee of that.

I have said that all along, probably in the Shark Pool Kaep thread, as I have posted in both and sometimes confuse the two.   :bag:

Anyway, there are only a limited number of guys who can actually play QB at the NFL level. That is why Sam Bradford who hadn't shown much of anything in his pro career, got a $26 million guaranteed contract by the Eagles and was subsequently traded for a first round draft pick to the Vikings. 

Kaep to his credit did take the 49ers to the Super Bowl, and it was not as a Trent Dilfer type game manager QB.

Yes, he seriously regressed after that and may never recover. I am making no predictions of future success, but he certainly will be given the opportunity to start again with another team after this season, irrespective of how he plays with the 49ers.

have we determined that Kaepernick sucks as a quarterback because he's anti-American yet?

As a lousy QB, yeah.
He might be able to beat out Fitzpatrick, but then QBs like Bridgewater and Griffin will still be around, along with a whole new draft.  Nobody is going to be hiring him as a starter.  Maybe he gets lucky with an injury though.

I like Bridgewater - this Viking team would have the same record with him IMO.

Pretty solid theory, IMHO.  He was a much better QB when he was standing for the national anthem.  Of course we can not completely eliminate the impact the act of kneeling itself might have.  It seemed to negatively impact Tebow's ability to throw the ball.  Seems not to impact the ability to run though. 

 
could have told you that years ago
I'm not going to search old 49ers threads, but not only could I have said that, I have been saying that. 

Sometimes I find it annoying when political stuff crosses over into sports - that's when you have dolts like one in this very thread that act like they know anything, when in reality not only do they know zero about sports (which they prove), but further show us they know nothing about anything.

On another note, Underwood in that shiny black dress singing the SNF song - I'd like to do some dirty stuff to her :blush:

Dude, you started this thread and the political stuff crossed over into sports at the beginning of Kaep's silent protest. :lol:  

What you find annoying is when someone disagrees with your political opinions.

And you claim I know zero about sports but it was me, not you (the so called sports expert) who said Kaep should get a shot at starting again because he can throw the deep ball, which the noodle armed Gabbert can not.

 
He definitely has some issues with Kaep and I suspect it has something to do with race (from reading between the lines) but I have nothing really specific that I can't point to.

In any event, for whatever reason, he really has an axe to grind with this player and his animosity would seem to go beyond his not getting along with teammates or playing poorly in recent years. There are players, coaches, ex-coaches or ex-players I dislike for a variety of reasons, but I can't go so far as to say I actually hate any of them on a personal level, like the OP. From earlier in the thread:
:lmao:  

 
One dimensional stock response from those on the right when they have nothing to say to rebut an argument.

Keep up the good work for the other faithful Fox viewers and Breitbart readers.
:lol: What kind of response do you expect when you pull the race card while admitting you have no basis to do so? 

 
He assumes I don't like Kaep bc of race, amazing what a dolt this guy is :lmao:

I stated I want Watson in this post at the start of the season. Could it be possible I just want the best QB (regardless of race, which has ZERO to do with winning/losing) for the team I root for? Watson is black in case you don't know who he is. 

& here I am during the NFL draft, unhappy (yet not surprised) nobody trades for Kaep. $12M for a starting QB is a bargain, but nobody wanted him. https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/topic/742766-official-sf-49ers-2016-thread-its-gonna-get-chippy/?do=findComment&comment=19067046

How does one morph into you? Was it a traumatic event, just born this way, rejected from multiple social circles starting during youth? How does it happen? 

I really don't care and won't be reading a response, quite frankly it's annoying when someone quotes you, but I decided to go get a post that proves your baseless (yet again) and idiotic (again and again) argument wildly incorrect (always).

So the next time you call someone a racist, have something (anything) to back your claims.

You're joking, but it's true because no good QB would protest the anthem and jeopardize their career.

 
I thought his response to the question in his postgame press conference was pretty classy.  He really did not look like a good QB out there though.  He broke a few runs when the Bills failed to contain him, but the Niners had no offense otherwise.  It was pretty windy, 20-25 mph winds, so that may have played a part, but he was pretty inaccurate downfield....even that Smith TD was a pretty brutal throw....it was just even worse coverage by the Bills.

:goodposting:

This thread is a good example of motivated reasoning.  Whether CK sucks as a QB should be a completely independent issue from what one things about his protest during the national anthem.  It's kind of weird to see people trying to convince themselves that he's actually a good player.  

 
let's talk about the national tragedy that is his misshapen afro

have some respect and shape that thing up. it can be huge and profound but my god touch it up. i've got a beard that's pretty expansive but i don't just roll out of bed in the morning and roll out the door without some (minimal) manicuring.

that #### looks like a malformed mushroom on his head

No one really has been doing that. I see the Straw Man posts coming in future weeks " :lmao:  You said he was great QB :lmao: "

The point that was being made was that he should be given a shot as the starter again, since he can throw the deep ball which the noodle armed Gabbert can not. The argument wasn't that he was this incredible talent being benched for kneeling during the anthem.

He was a good player IMO at one point in time (see Super Bowl year) and he may be again. He may resurrect his career or he may never be anything more than a journeyman backup after he leaves the 49ers. Overall, he failed to impress yesterday and for fantasy players he will nothing more in Week 7 against TB as a desperation start for Big Ben owners who have no other options on the waiver wire.
