Then there’s the question of whether Kaepernick’s success comes more from his innate abilities or from the highly talented team that surrounds him. And whether any other coach can get out of Kaepernick the production that Harbaugh has — especially once the postseason rolls around and Kaepernick seems to find a higher level of play.

Hahahahaha.

On a serious note, this would truly fug us on Cam's contract negotiations, as this would surely be the first contract his agent will look to as a jumping off point for talks.

Discuss.

Trent Balke knows how to play this game better than Kaeps agent... He almost sent off Harbaugh because Harbaugh wanted too much on a new contract, who says Balke wont do the same to Kaep... I wouldn't be surprised to see San Fran bring in a quality backup quarterback to provide leverage in negotiations with Kaep.

Kap isn't worth it, he and Wilson have the best supporting casts in the entire league and usually manage games, no way they're deserving of elite money.

Russ is. He struggled a little during the playoffs but he's great.

Kaep on the other hand..... WOW. $18M per year for a QB with the arm of Derek Anderson and the decision making ability of Daunte Culpepper. Awesome. Where do we sign up?

He'll get it. That's just today's NFL. They traded away a #1 pick who was having his best season, so Kaepernick could be their future. If your committed to a guy at qb that's the price these days. You either pay it or move on to a guy who you believe is worth it, but chances are you're going to pay it to somebody at some point. Look at every contract qbs are signing these days. That's just the market for a franchise qb and they obviously believe Kaepernick is their guy.

Either Derek Anderson still has extremely high arm strength that I am not aware of, or you are uninformed. You can mock Kaep for many things, but arm strength is definitely not on that list.

Accuracy. Not strength.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
