Kaepernick wants $18MM per year

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.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
