Nice. Got this big hurdle out of the way.
Even if it is 126 over 7 years. That's just over 18 a year. Seems like a good deal to me. He was going to get paid. Anything South of 20 seems like a win for the 9ers. What was the alternative, play out this year and pay even more next to keep him, or try and replace him with what?
Let's see how he does with more then 1 good WR. I would be 1 read too when I have some bum out there as my #2 WR as he did last year. When Crabtree came back, Kap was playing well. Again it's $18 mil a year the same that cutler and romo got, both won't sniff the SB or NFC title game
2 big game melt down. What are you talking about. What 2 games are u talking. Seattle game where he was our offense or the super bowl where he would of been MVP if we won. Please tell me what 2 games. Seattle i will agree a little because of the Int but still he was the only one doing anything. I blame the play calling.
Agreed. This year he has the best group of reeivers of any team in the league in Crabtree, Davis, Boldin and Johnson. He also has Frank Gore and Carlos Hyde and an offensive line that people here seem to be gaga over so if he can't do it with that crew, he never will.
If you can't think of even a single person, then I don't know what threads you have been reading.
The two you mentioned. He melted down into complete panic mode at the end of both games. His miserable early performanc in the Super Bowl and his turnover-laden first three quarters in last years NFC Championship game not withstanding.

Name names bro. I'm dead serious, I don't remember anyone being so extreme as to say that the entire team's failings fall on his shoulders.
You guys keep saying it happened cuz it happened, I'm just asking for proof.
Sick might have said something about Kap being the weak link on our team or something to that effect. I don't think that's totally indefensible given his performance last year on the whole, although there are some other big culprits (WR coach, Roman, sometimes the Oline, sometimes the secondary).
Anyway, the argument seems to be "this was inevitable" or "this is the market." But if the whole damn league wants to jump off a bridge I don't think we should unquestionably follow them. Deep wants consistent 200 yards a game passing. Fuck that. If he's going to get paid this much, it better be a lot closer to 300 yards than 200 yards. If all we want/need is 200 yards, go sign a McCown type and throw the money we save at other positions.
I think Kap is fun to watch and I'm excited about his potential. But if he doesn't improve then this team is sunk. I'm really worried about tying our future to him but so it goes I guess.

We need an all-time HOF post thread started and stickied. This one leads off as post #1.
Awesome.
EVERYONE knows a team starts with the QB, if ANY QB does bad, the team will struggle. there is no guarantee ANY player plays up to his contract, but that's the system. as much as i was concerned tying him up for so much, did realize we had no choice.
we don't have to repeat all the options now, but we all know the others had 'cons'.
minimum 200 every game is a start, and is reasonable considering the reference point is ten (10) games UNDER. but 251 yards (closer to 300) isn't so far off in the NFL, maybe he does it?
