Bring in Colin Kaepernick, like weeks ago.

We are staring at the fact that Newton is likely going to IR.

We already had a roster spot open, to which Marty reportedly "had a plan" for, only to see nothing happen at the trade deadline.

CK isn't perfect by any means as a player, but we need someone with experience on the roster, if indeed Cam is shut down.

There are no more excuses. Bring him in, fast.

CMC is why you don’t bring him in.  CMC is is a better weapon playing in a traditional offense where he is the primary focus. 

We have gone 4-1 with Allen playing his role....and if the defense wasn’t wet garbage against SF the O would have done what they have done.  SF couldn’t stop CMC offense in a “normal” game because they couldn’t stop him in game we barely could run our O because of the D.

So unless CK can stuff the run he doesn’t improve us.

He stinks at football...why cant anyone see this?  

I'm not saying yes or not to bringing him in, but this is incorrect.    He went like 16 TD - 4 INT with almost 60% completion his last season in limited time and with literally no help on either side of the football.     People can make whatever excuses they want but the reason he's not playing is NOT performance on the field.

i love how it was like universally recognized before the kneeling that Kap was a 1 read QB who couldnt make every throw and needed an offense tailor made for his skillset and tons of talent around him and that once NFL defenses figured out the read option he wasnt really a threat anymore but ever since the whole collusion case the media pretends he could magically go to any team in need of QB help and make them a contender

CMC is 100% why you bring him in.

If we don't get CMC some help right now, we'll see him follow in Cam's footsteps in less time, because we're already running him into the dirt harder than we rode Cam.

Dude he was decent his first few years before defenses figured him out. 2015 he wasn’t even rated a top 32 QB. 2016 I believe he was ranked 25 out of 32. Why does anyone think 3 years removed from being a bottom third in the league QB he could come back to the NFL and be good? Brett Favre would be better than him

Don’t really think Kaep is the answer. It would take him at least a couple weeks to get comfortable in the offense which would put him starting week 10 at the earliest. 
 

If Cam is out the rest of the season I say stick with Allen and see what we have in him. He’s 5-1 as a starter, has helped keep the team in the playoff race.

It doesn't really matter whether he's good or not.

It's not practical to try to bring in anyone from the outside when you're already midway into the season and ask him to try to become the starter and learn the system on the fly.

if you're talking about a position other than quarterback, maybe. But the guy who's running the whole offense?

Just not realistic...

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
