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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

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

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
