bleys 1,995 Report post Posted November 8, 2013 I think Kap has more straight line speed than Cam does and a bigger arm, but Cam has much more size and is quicker on his feat. Cam is more able to elude a defender laterally than Kap is. Cam has one of the biggest arms in the league.. So you're saying Kaepernick has a top 3 arm? That's news to me... Hawks fans run to our corner. Football makes strange bedfellows... the enemy of your enemy is your friend... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fieryprophet 6,834 Report post Posted November 8, 2013 Kaepernick doesn't have a bigger arm than Cam, he's just incapable of throwing anything but missiles even if the situation calls for a at least some touch on the ball. Cam had that problem early on but has gotten much better at throttling down his short passes and improved his accuracy as a result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's news to me... the enemy of your enemy is your friend... I haven't heard anyone put Kapernick in the comically big arm talk.... Stafford. Newton. Flacco has a big arm but it isn't like Stafford or Cam either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flacco has a big arm but it isn't like Stafford or Cam either. You've never heard the boasting of Kaeps 90 mph fast ball? That's all I hear is his big arm talk. He takes eons to wind up and throw it but the ball is moving when it leaves his hand(which will be a problem if Charles Johnson gets in the vicinity, love to smack the ball down) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have big arms and get flick there wrist without setting up.....and throw it farther than most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaep has a baseball motion much like The Golden Calf of Bristol. He's a strip sack master's dream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CPcavedweller 1,265 Report post Posted November 8, 2013 Actually it was a 94 MPH fastball...when he was in high school....and about 60 lbs lighter. Still has a baseball wind up. If he decides to throw from the pocket while it's collapsing Johnson may get a paw in there, which he is very good at btw, and knock the ball down before it reaches his release point.

Planning on running the ball effectively by the 49ers won't go well. We have shut down all RB's and have allowed a total of 2 rushing TD's in 8 games. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incorrect. Kap might have the biggest arm in the NFL. Randy Moss spoke about it during Super Bowl week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdDtIgwNWEM Report on the team referring to his arm strength http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4QN4hwcz5k What does Sports Science say on the subject? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VyypCZG7K4 Anquan Boldin said yesterday that Colin has the biggest arm of any QB he's ever played with...and that includes Flacco. At the combine Colin threw harder than Cam did. Looking for the link on that one. Throwing hard alone doesn't make you a great QB. You need to learn touch. There is no question about that...but don't tell me Kap doesn't have a huge arm. He might have the biggest arm in the NFL right now. Edit: Found it. http://archive.nflgridirongab.com/2011/02/28/colin-kaepernick-strongest-arm-in-the-draft/ A TD pass in New England last year was actually clocked at 60.4 MPH. Its at the 21 second mark in this vid (which BTW is annoying as hel because I created that highlight reel before the NFL pulled it down and now this guy has reposted it to got awful music and poor video quality) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QtZbOvGpqk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
