I know a lot of folks still remember this moment (and do so rather angrily).

If you're one of those, you'll appreciate this story.

Per NFL Network this morning, 49er QB Colin Kaepernick was benched at the urging of his teammates.

Apparently there was an angry outburst from several players recently that occurred after Kaepernick left the locker room (unknown if he said anything to provoke it). During this brouhaha, a bunch of 49er players declared their belief that it was time for their franchise quarterback to take a seat on the bench.

Think the locker room doesn't matter? Think again.

You'll like this too.

According to Mike Triplett of ESPN.com, a stat change by the Elias Sports Bureau took away a pair of records Brees had apparently set during a 52-49 win over the Giants. A fourth-quarter fumble by receiver Willie Snead was corrected to an interception, since there was some question about whether he had control of the pass. That cost Brees a 6-yard completion, meaning he completed 39 passes for 505 yards instead of 40 for 511.

That’s only significant as both were new career highs for Brees. He still tied a league record with seven touchdown passes, so there’s probably a ceiling on how bad he’ll feel.

The Saints are appealing the ruling...

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
