Let Cam sit and rehab until midseason next year. Sign Kaepernick as his backup.

Kaepernick gives us a realistic chance to stay competitive until Cam has fully recovered from his shoulder procedure. You can't find a better backup in terms of being a similar QB to Cam. We wouldn't have to change our system and can still have the RPO in the playbook. Tepper already signed his buddy Eric Reid. The only reason im skeptical about this signing would be the NFL and the refs. I think they would do everything in their power to make Kaepernick a failure on the field.

We aren't signing Kaep and Cam doesn't need until midseason next year. Let his offseason start now so that he may seek medical opinions about what needs to be done. IR him and let Taylor play.

And for the love of god, do not fire Rivera. When we were 6-2, no one had this issue. Cam's shoulder and inability to practice is not Rivera's fault. The fact that we lost 12-9 to the Saints, with Rivera calling the defense, should be reason for optimism rather than pessimism about his coaching ability. He deserves one more season with Turner calling the offense and him calling the defense.

Well, doesn't he deserve blame for promoting someone who was not capable as a defensive coordinator and then allowing him to continue to fail before finally making a change? That kind of hangs on his head. Also, how about trotting out an ineffective and injured QB over and over and over instead of sitting him down and letting him heal? 

That pretty much does make quite a bit of this his fault. Not all. He surely didn't sign up for the spate of injuries we have had to deal with all season long but he also hasn't exactly been stellar.

Draw whatever conclusions you choose...but Kap is a cancer and I want him nowhere near our team 

While Kaepernick may indeed be the best of the current couch free agents, I will never forgive him for mocking Cam and also just generally being a little bitch when he was in SF.

Hindsight is 20/20. Promoting someone and it not working out was bound to happen after having Sean and Washington leave in back to back offseasons. Rivera made the change and I think that the results should be carried in to next season. 

As for Cam playing injured, exactly how effective do you believe Taylor would've been when we were 6-3? Do you think he could've led us to a 5-2 record over the last 7 weeks?

I think Taylor is a bum but I am willing to bet he won at least one game versus the zero games we have won. I mean...how much MORE ineffective does our QB need to be for them to see that he needs to be resting and rehabbing?

I legit like this idea. I've said for a while now that Kaep is the best option as a backup QB to Cam. This would allow us to draft OL and DL and not worry about back up QB. Also allow him to have time in the offseason to get back to football ready. I think this is a great idea and I support it. But I still want the coaching staff/GM gone. I've lost faith in their ability to be anything other than mediocre.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
