Kaepernick not taking pay cut, no trade

bleacher Report's Jason Cole reports Colin Kaepernick will not be traded to the Broncos.

Per Cole, Kaepernick will not take a pay cut, and the 49ers refuse to "pay off part of deal to make trade happen." You should never say never in the high-stakes game of NFL negotiations, but it appears the 49ers and Kap are now working toward a reconciliation. Kap reported for the start of the team's offseason program on Monday. By staying in San Francisco, Kap would be locking himself into $14.3 million between salary and bonuses. He's probably decided it's worth gambling on himself for 2016.

Personally, I think that it's a dumb decision, but admittedly I never believed in Kelly's long term success.  Denver is a more stable environment where he is almost guaranteed the starting gig. You would think that he'd beat out Gabbert in San Fran, but you'd have thought that last season (and don't use the smokescreen of injury). I think the kid is missing the bigger picture. The potential for a train wreck is real in Frisco. When they get behind in so many games, which they will because the defense is lacking, all the pressure will be on Kap. And one of his major security blankets in Boldin is probably not going to be there. Kap in a fast offense based on timing...I don't know. Frisco isn't Philly where Kelly had a bunch of talent when he made his grand entrance.

He's a better fit with Kelly anyways. Denver has a better roster but I don't see Kubiak sticking with the guy the minute he shows he's not willing do it Kubiak's way. Probably a good move on his part even if staying comes with it's own possible pitfalls.

Kap needs to do it another way.

Kubiak Mike Shanahaning him like Shanahan did Bob isn't the way he should do it. 

 

I agree, but you're comparing apples to oranges. What Sham---err Shanahan did to RG3 was bordering on criminal. Part if the problem was letting the tail wag the dog. If anything, what you're suggesting is that Kubiak will be on the other end of the spectrum. Personally, I believe that Kubiac was a better QB coach than HC. I think that hr would help Kap, not hinder him. When a coach has a good record, perhaps you should listen to him. Looks like we'll never know though. Let's see trains collide on the Bay.

not afraid to admit i'm happy about that

kaepernick flamed out in SF but he's still young with a huge amount of talent.  the possibility of him having tangibly improved with a change of scenery and being on a team that's still pretty stacked like denver's wasn't appealing to me.

considering they won the SB with a broken down Manning, I am quite glad they didn't get a guy who torched the Packers in Lambeau for 200 yards on the ground alone only 3 years ago.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
