Bill Voth on Kaepernick and FA QB's

Recommended Posts

I’m not sure they're all that interested in any veteran quarterback right now. They clearly were intrigued by what they saw out of Kyle Allen at the end of 2018. Sign Kaepernick - or any veteran - and Allen’s reps go away. It’s long past time the Panthers try to develop a young arm. That road offers a higher ceiling than toying around with most of the available retreads.

Anyway, I can see an argument for both sides on Kaepernick, so I’m not going to scream one way or another. But as of today, I don’t see the Panthers pulling the trigger.

Exactly what I’m thinking...Kyle Allen showed promise...develop that guy and let him get the reps...at least there’s the possibility of him being a Warner/romo/delhomme type of unheralded guy that’s a gamer or a good solid back up...and at a price where we can address oline  and D. Everyone knows what Kaepernick is and isn’t at this point. Burn that 20 mil of cap and money on a backup QB...no thank you

If Kaepernick wants to play he can find a team somewhere else in the league because we are already set at starting QB and QB back-up with Kyle Allen.

If he wants to come, let him come

But its got to be the right price 

 

He needs a prove it deal like Vick had in Philly, as he has been out of football the same amount of time.  And prior had injuries and struggled prior to this break

kaepernick was booty before any of this drama. why would ANYONE want to sign him after a few years away from football?

Because there are folks that will praise a man for where he stands on social issues even if he sucks at football. Just as there are those that will hate a man for where he stands on social issues even if he is good at football. 

 

Kap in Carolina makes less sense than it does elsewhere or even anywhere at all. He had 1 maybe 2 decent years and that is about 5 years removed from 2019. 

 

Can we we stop talking about this dude in a football context already?

    • 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
