Internship Over for Kaepernick?

[bvanthielriceyoung]

He needs to fix that horrible release if I'm going to have any hope for him.

 

[iHATEdodgers]

You can say that about all QBs.

Actually you cannot say "3 maybe even 4 of his 5 INTs were not entirely his fault" about all (or most, or even some) QBs.

Agreed...I just thought it was worth bouncing that against the 3rd lowest INT rate comment...

Okay, so which 3 or 4 of his INTs are not his fault?

And if you can please give a link to the article where you lead it was the 3rd lowest INT rate ever. I'm genuinely interested.

Good point...most QB's probably aren't responsible for 3 or 4 INTs but when bounced against only 5 total, that is fairly amazing...

I didn't say 3 or 4 weren't his fault. MW did. (The only one I absolutely recall that wasn't his fault is the one Ginn let bounce off his noggin. The one I remember that was distinctly his fault is the redzone INT (versus the Rams?).) I don't remember the other 3 off hand. - The point I was making was the point I made - 3 or 4 out of 5 - It's pretty exceptional that one could say that at all I think.

I just looked for the article over on sfgate (I'm pretty sure that's where I read it either today or yesterday) but I didn't see it... I'll try to find it - but it was just one of the notes at the end of the article no the meat of the article.

Here are Smiths INT's

The 1st INT was a bad route by Davis vs. DAL
The 2nd INT was the one to Crabtree vs. DET - another bad route?
The 3rd INT was Ginns vs. NYG
The 4th INT was the linebacker coming underneath Crabtree in the end zone vs. ARI
The 5th INT was Edwards pathetic effort vs. BAL

 

[ViperVisor]

Ginn was 99.9% not on him.

The rest are usual picks. The fact that 1/5 of his INTs should not of happened and he would then be 3rd best ever.

2011 was 5th best

Sorry I couldn't find that article but I found this:

NFL Single-Season Pass Interception % Leaders - Pro-Football-Reference.com

1. Damon Huard (33) 0.4% 2006 KAN
2. Tom Brady (33) 0.8% 2010 NWE
3. Steve DeBerg (36) 0.9% 1990 KAN
David Garrard (29) 0.9% 2007 JAX
5. Alex Smith (27) 1.1% 2011 SFO

Huard shouldn't be on that list only 225 PAs 8 starts
Deberg what a season in 90 - 23 TD 4 INT wow! 4.1% career INT rate though is meh.
Garrard only started 12 games in 07 325 PAs (borderline if he should be on the list) but 18 TD 3 INT is pretty impressive.

So yeah 1.1% very damn good.

Yeah that 5th one was bad on Edwards. I can picture the one vs. Dallass I'd say mostly not Smith's fault. That one against Detroit I think was on Alex he kind of hippity hopped and sailed that one under pressure.

Anyway wow only 5 picks all year.

He threw a pretty shitty one vs the Giants I think.... the first time we played them. It looked like he was gonna float it into the endzone as he was running out of the pocket, had a guy open but put nothing on it. One of those where its a pretty easy play so you go waaay to easy on it.

Wasn't that against Arizona? The one against the Giants was the one off Ginn's noggin.

But yes that endzone one was shitty. So there it is 1 shitty interception all year - that is amazing.

You just described his Arizona INT perfectly...That is the one that I attribute 100% to Smith...Good memory, Tall!

Yeah, Edwards made absolutely zero effort to adjust or defend - pathetic.

Yeah, that was Arizona. I knew it was right around that time though. Man, that was a frustrating game.

 

[MHSL82]

Just to clarify though. The Arizona INT was the game we won. The game we lost Alex had a rushing TD, no passing TDs, no INTs, no fumbles, and a loss (obviously).

 

[Flyingiguana]

That's where we differ. I don't think Kap would be that much of a down step from Alex. Let's agree to disagree.

the problem is risk. we have no idea what we would be walking into with an unproven starter.

Well apparently CK's internship is not over:

San Francisco 49ers – Niner Insider Blog – SFGate.com Harbaugh on his free-agent QB: ‘Alex Smith is our guy’

Like I said before media induced QB controversey. I'm sure they'll find a way to induce it one more time between now and training camp though!
