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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Dude you're all over the place. Bryce definitely played better than average down the stretch last year. That's what I said. I dont think it's controversial, and I think it's true based both on stats and by actually watching him play. He was the 6th rated passer by PFF during the last 8 weeks. In no world is that below average You trying to twist this into something else is a you thing.  Have a great night

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Exactly He's played two seasons and started 28 games. He's well beyond the point of being able to point to 2 or 3 games and being able to say, "THAT is the QB he is and will be in the future" Of course he can get there, but anyone trying to use just those couple of games to rank his place amongst the games QB's today and their full career's worth of playing at that level, is just asinine. Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Hurts, Herbert, Daniels, Stafford, Goff, Geno, Purdy, Baker, Love, Dak, Tua, Kyler, Lawrence That's 17 QB's right there that have played better over their careers than Bryce has played at his best.  And I'm not saying they're all studs or guys I'd want to be our QB moving forward, Tua for example I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, but his body of work is a million times better than Bryce's has been. It's also not including any of the other QB's drafted in 2023/2024 other than Daniels. So again, say you believe in Bryce, say you think he's going to prove he can and should be our QB of the future, that's all fair and totally fine. But nobody can say he's been an above average QB in his career thus far, it's just an asinine notion.
