Oh yeah the game where Kaep throw for a whooping 153 yards had two interception ( one of course was Sherman tip pass, that ended the game) 2 fumbles ( only one recovered by Seahawks ), yeah Kaep was awesome.:whistle:

But without Kaep, the 49ers get blown out it that game. The TD throw to Boldin was showed how much raw talent he has as not a single QB in the league could've made that pass besides him. He has a limited skill set and it showed once SF lost all of their offensive talent around him.

Thinking there is collusion is retarded. Every GM in the league hopes their rival signs this one trick pony. I wish the Packers would sign him.

I re-watched the game on youtube just a few weeks back. He was the Offence. He had over a hundred yards rushing by halftime.

AGAIN, flawed QB, I don't want him as Seattle's starter. A reasonable argument can be made that he'd bring more potential baggage (QB controversy?) than he'd be worth.

He's STILL capable of being a backup in this league. ESPECIALLY in a system like Seattle's.

I was in attendance for Seattle's NFCCG vs SF.
2 plays in the 1st half really stood out for me. As good as our D was, I was deeply concerned about how in the hell were we going to stop this guy.
In the 2nd vid, it is easy to see Kaep check down to his #3 option. Note the lazer pass.
Much better than the average back up.
Fortunately for Seahawk fans, Pete outcoached Harbs in halftime adjustments by putting a spy on Kaep to make him beat you with the pass. The spy was either Wags or Irvin.

Maybe the best thing for him is to go play in the CFL for two or three years and let the controversy die down assuming he wants to play that bad

I don't know how great of a throw that was. The ball was tipped. He got lucky imo

He proved he can play in my eyes.

And I'd take him in Dallas in a heartbeat. In a brief reserve role he'd have a game changing possibility.

Especially if Elliot is gaining chunks.

Most likely all that would happen is the defense would move more guys up closer to the line to stop the run and the scramble and then force Kaepernick to beat them with his arm, which he really hasn't shown he's good at. If you need a guy to throw a 100 mph fastball on a rope 25 yards down field then Kap is your guy. He's got a cannon arm. But outside of that type of throw he is just terrible in my opinion. No touch, no finesse, no pump fake trickery, nothing. He's not the QB who can drop it in the bucket when a WR is in tight coverage. Or, at minimum, he can't do it very consistently.

Again, if my option is Kellen Moore I'm all in on Kaepernick.

What in the fuck are people on here talking about saying Kaep cant play? Dudes been to a SB and another NFC title game. He was a top 15ish QB LAST YEAR with absolutely no weapons. Get the fuck out of here with that nonsense. I'm not a conspiracy dude but the reality is the guy is being blackballed. There are not 20 people alive that are better NFL QBs than Kaepernick and he can't break into the top 96 ? Get fucking real

Well, except for the 32 guys who have starting jobs and probably about a dozen more guys who've retired within the past 5 or 6 years that would still be better than him.

All backup QB's are flawed, that's why they're backups.

There aren't 32 better qiys regardless of if they're starters . That's fact . There probably aren't 20 better guys and may not be 15 better

No way. He is not the "right kind of guy". If the Cowboys sign him I am going to be pisst.

I took a Kaep this morning. He protested, but I was able to make him a free agent. I'm pretty sure no one has picked him up.
