The Rise of Cam, the fall of Kaep

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
