I'm still not quite getting all the hype about Kaepernick

OK, granted I'm from the bay area, so maybe all the hype and buzz about Colin is a little more prevalent in the golden state, but I'm completely dumbfounded by some of the comparisons I've been hearing.

 

Radio talk show hosts are already putting him in the category of Steve Young and Joe Montana. TV sport shows (not just locally, but nationally as well) are prematurely saying he's a top 3 QB in this league right now, and will eventually go down as one of the greatest QB's to ever play this game, Yes, ever ....  

 

If my memory serves me right, the dude played half a season, put up decent numbers, and led his team to a Superbowl appearance. Ok, not bad at all, but I didn't know starting 10 games in your career and losing a Superbowl is the new litmus test for determining greatness over an entire NFL career.

 

I'm not saying he isn't good. I do believe he has the upside and potential to be an upper echelon QB in this league, but I'm just not quite getting all these inane comparisons. What were people saying in Charlotte after Cam's rookie year? What about Jake Delhomme after he took over Rodney Peete and led us to a Superbowl? Were the comparisons similar?

He's had one really good game (vs. the patriots) and a bunch of fumbles.

I don't get the hype either. That team previously went 13-3 with Alex Smith, then spent the offseason wooing Peyton Manning. I'm thinking they could win with Jimmeh under center.

He is young, incredibly accurate, and can break plays wide open with his feet. He has great presence in the pocket, and an absolute cannon for an arm.

Comparing him to hall of famers is silly, too small a sample size. Seeing him as the best young QB in the game is not.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
