It was a response to the statement that he was NEVER good.

It's a tryout...for a stop gap or bench player. This sites thrives off of overreaction and hyperbole.

Calling "hyperbole" is amusing, given that every year Kaepernick is away, the perception of how good he was when he played gets further exaggerated. At this rate, he'll be a hall of famer and borderline greatest of all time within three or four years from now.

As far as a more realistic take...

Good? Somewhat.

Very good? Maybe at times.

Great? Not really.

He was always a better athlete than quarterback, and plenty of people knew it. General belief was that he never got past being a one read quarterback (and there was plenty of film evidence) but Harbaugh did a good job compensating for it.

That's reality.

Hes been better than every QB we've brought in.

 

You might even have a point if we were a good team making good decisions, but in reality we're being rumored to want to trade for Baker Mayfield.
 

Welcome to reality. Where last year we were so bad we had to pull the ghost of Cam Newton off of the couch to start for us.

Hey I like it!! He’s trying to be vocal like Steve Smith!! I agree with him.. he’ll no to Mayfield.. he’s no better than Darnold!! I was hopeful Baker would be hood cause of his emotion and energy!! Plus Baker said he’ll no to the Panthers already too!! So guess we forgot that..

If he played like Steve Smith on the field then he could be vocal like Steve Smith. But he's plays like Robby Anderson so he should STFU and hope the front office forgets they haven't cut him yet.

    • 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
