QB Competition

[deep9er]

What we saw in Kap at the end of his playing time last year was really bad. On the other side, seeing Gabbtert throwing a 4 yard pass on 3rd and 9 and a 3 for 20 something third down conversation rate is bad also and equally frustrating.

yes, and we're not going to get good, consistent QB play this year either. But i'll take a 4 yard completion over a sack, or running OB at a loss, or throwing it away.

report came out yesterday is Kap has been the leader and the players really respond to him. He has been a great locker room guy.

I'll chalk that up to nothing but lip service. You can't put toothpaste back in the tube. Without question, more players would rally behind Gabbert than Kaepernick. I don't care how badly Gabbert plays this year....I'd rather see him ride it out, or put someone else (Ponder? Who is so far behind any Niner QB in terms of system knowledge/timing with current Niner receivers/etc.) in.

Based on his downward play, and him (the QB position who doesn't want to lead his teammates) wanting out, Kaepernick should never play another down of football for SF.

I hate to say it but with Kap missing the 2nd game its over for him to be the starter unless Gabbert gets hurt. I have a feeling this is all a set up. Something just isnt right.

You shouldn't hate to say it. Gabbert is the better QB.

Since when? link?

 

[Ricky Roma]

We all want him to compete and see what he can do in this offense.

I don't.

Most people know what we have with Kaepernick......he's declining on the field, and as the de facto leader that the QB position is, he has made it known that he wants out. I do not want this to linger, a la Alex Smith. He is what he is.....and what he shouldn't be is the QB for the 49ers...ever again.

Colin Kaepernick now seen as leader in 49ers' clubhouse at quarterback

 

[DJ Fieri]

No mention of Christian Ponder?

One report's opinion does not make it so. Nowhere in that article does it state anyone in the 9ers' clubhouse claiming he is the leader.

You can play the stats game all you like. Kap's numbers came when the 9ers' D was the best ,or close to the best, in the NFL

There was no such report , just read his link.

If u don't have stats u done have nothing to go by. 1 went to a super bowl and the other has been a bust. Facts are Facts. Hope this helps u if not its k.

Facts are facts? You mean like an apples to apples comparison, and the closest you can get to that is last year given they had similar talent around, with you know....being on the same team. Gabbert's stats were better than Kaepernick's.

Kaepernick took a team to the SB? Phillip Rivers hasn't done that....you telling me that Kaepernick is better than Rivers? That was 2012 - ancient history - and he's declined every year since then....no reason to believe that'll change this year...assuming he's the starter.

That is something that should never happen again as a 49er.....Colin Kaepernick as the starter.

I simply debunked your comment about Kap winning over the team as a leader. You then start with the stats BS and giving me facepalms. Kap is no leader, period.

Well I gave you the link. I can't do anything more. U either believe it or not. I gave me a face palm because u ask for a link and I gave you one and u tried to shit on it. No one is saying he is some great leader it was just pointed out that he is a leader in the club house.

I hope you are wrong because after last night Gabbert as starter made me throw up. He is so bad. At this point I might rather have Ponder start.

Where in that article did anyone from the 9ers say that Kap was a leader? I'll wait.

Did Gabbert fumble? Throw an Int? Your love for Kap is beginning to make me sick as well.
