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...

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

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

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

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
