This is pretty silly. Kaep was never a tier 1 QB, the national media just really wanted him to be one. Cam was never a teir 3 QB, the national media really just wanted him to be one. 

 

The truth is Cam has always been tier 1, and Kaep has always been tier 3 or 4 in reality. Nothing has changed except the fabricated media story line.

Kaep was never more than a game manager. His first season as a part-time starter, he looked decent. Nobody had film on him and he could beat people with his legs. The next year (2013) wasn't great, only 21 passing TDs and a really rough stretch, but he was passable. Then each year, he got worse and worse and he never learned. The issue is he was never a good passer - whereas Cam has excelled at passing, as shown by having two consecutive 400-yard games in his first two starts. So it was only a matter of time until Kaep collapsed.

I still hold that if the 49ers had kept Alex Smith instead of Kaep as starter, they would have won that Super Bowl.

Gotta disagree there about Cam. Certainly top tier now, but 2012 had alot of growing pains with it. I know alot of that was the shitstorm Chud created, but Cam didnt become a Top 5 QB until last season.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By strato · Posted

      Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
