Saw that. Geragos said it with the expectation that Newton would be out. We're a long way from knowing that.

Kaepernick was pretty mediocre outside of when Harbaugh tailored the system specifically to him. Could Turner do that? Don't know.

I know it's been years since he played and it's not simply a matter of being in shape.

Yeah, I definitely anticipate there being quite a bit of rust.  But, I still think it saves a draft pick and is a better option than a Heinicke or Allen, again, IF Cam is out.  I still think he'd be a valuable addition as a backup as well.

And without looking it up, I wanted to say he had another resurgence for a few weeks under Chip Kelly as well, but ended up getting injured, IIRC.  And I want to say I saw or heard an interview somewhere in which Kelly said he was a great QB, but again, had been dealing with injuries or something along those lines.  I'll see if I can find it.

Do we really have the cap space to have him as a backup though?

I wouldn't bet on him coming cheap.

There is no indication that Kap would take a one year prove it deal. He damn sure isnt sniffing a market value QB deal with the plethora of reasons against him. Time since last playing in a meaningful game, how he played when he actually was playing, the massive distraction headache and a long list of ect.s. Hell, could he even pass a physical is a ligitamit question. He would be lucky to get a $5 million one year prove it deal.

I have been a supporter of this move for a while. Now im having 2nd thoughts, just because if Cam is struggling the media will be pushing for Kaep to start. I would only make this signing if Cam is out until the 2nd half of the season. At least it would give Kaep the opportunity to start, if he struggles we got a healthy Cam ready to go for the 2nd half of the season.

Interesting, and I think he's a perfect stand-in if Cam isn't ready to start the season.  Would love to see him get his career back here, and reunite with EReid.

Gonna be a lot of angry people in red hats, lol...

Please ban this person for obviously trying to start a racist argument.

red hat != racist

For vet min maybe but I heard he won’t accept less than $20M...

I've got a feeling that price tag was due to two factors that would no longer apply:

1) He was asking for more from the AAF because his goal is to be in the NFL.  He wouldn't have asked for 20M from an NFL team.

2) His collusion case against the NFL was still pending.  It's now settled.  Money is even less of a factor.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
