Colin Kaepernick

Im fine with Kap. He had a lot of success on a team built like Denver is now. Price tag is right now is his trade value right... id give up a 3rd and future.... but not so sure a 2nd... we have holes we need to fill

SF came damn near close to 3 straight Super Bowls with Kapernick and a loaded SF team.

Yup...He comes here he is in a similar situation. Not quite as good of an OL but better weapons to work with. He will have a top defense once again where he doesn't have to go out and score a ton to win. He will be in an offense that gets him out of the pocket just like when he had success with the 49ers. Go back and watch how they used him when he was successful and when things started falling apart. Same thing happened to RGIII in they tried to be what they were not. They tried to become the drop back passer and well it just didn't work well. So at least Kubiak's system sets up where a defense while respecting the stretch zone play has to respect that Kaepernick would get to the outside.

I hope if Kaepernick gets traded he ends up in Denver because it would be the best situation for him. He would have a good defense and running game to back him up. He also needs good pass blocking in front of him. Kaep has a slow release and doesn't process things quickly so a good line upfront to give him time. The 49er oline went from one of the best a few years ago to one of the worst and it isn't a coincidence Kap's play went down with it. And people who say it was the loss of Harbaugh are wrong. His play was regressing under Harbaugh and Harbaugh's QB coach was our coordinator last year. I think Harbaugh was overrated as a QB whisperer.

We have a long history of working out trades with SF and I think we will in this case as well

I think it takes a third or fourth, so I'll throw this out there. We give SF our 3rd rounder this year and we get Kap and the 6th rounder we traded in the VD deal.

Keep in mind they like CJ. I do think we could include him.... or could match and trade ... unclear on rules

Considering the O-Line will look a LOT different this season, according to Elway, that will be hard to judge. Hopefully he can acclimate like Plummer did (only a little better).

We can't trade CJ while he is tagged. The only way we could do it is if we matched an offer (from let's say the Fins) with SF's agreement that they would take on the contract and then traded him as part of the deal.

True we won't know how good or bad our OL will be. Can't be much worse than last year. Between the injuries, change in scheme, and youth on the OL man it was ugly. I do like how our OL is shaping up so far with the addition of Stephenson and Clady and Sambrailo coming back.

Broncos in the last hour have officially called the 49ers figuring out what it would take. Don't expect them to rush a decision by any means but this does seem to be Option A now for moving forward.

Why's he wearing Osweiler's old jersey?

Remember the #7 is retired so he can't wear that number with the Broncos. Not sure though what number he would go with for the Broncos. I doubt 17 as too many people would remember Osweiler.

Why not? Would be a nice statement to make for Osweiler to see his old number being worn by another QB as we beat his Houston Texans to a pulp.

Well, he wore #10 @ Nevada. But I doubt Sanders would give up his number.

Fantastic point.

That is a good video at least to me showing Kaepernick working from the pocket and throwing to some very small windows. Yes I know these are some limited snaps but this is the Super Bowl against a very good playoff defense.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Kapernick is a turnover machine and doesn't really excite me, but at this point what else can you do? If obtained I will be hoping for the best. He has had some moments, it just hasn't been in awhile.

Well Interception rate since 2011 (Kaepernicks first year)

Fitzpatrick (other big name on the FA market) 1 every 31.1 passes
Kaepernick 1 every 52.4 passes
