Which quarterback was the bigger flash in the pan"

[Bunkamania]

Colin Kaepernick

Matt Flynn

 

[OregonDucks]

Flynn. Never did anything. Kap at least took his team to the SB.

Wouldn't that make him a bigger flash?

 

[Bunkamania]

Flynn threw for almost 500 yards and half a dozen touchdowns.

 

[OregonDucks]

SF is in major trouble. I think the read option is getting figured out quickly.

Kaepernick was smart and exploited the hype while it lasted. You have to give him that.

The Baltimore Orioles

It gets figured out all the time...it sometimes takes a couple of games, but it eventually fizzles out....back in the day, it was the wishbone....an early version of the option

Rick Mirer

RG3?

Wow, a little quick on the "bust" hook here, I would say. Obviously, I'm not a 49er fan by any stretch but let's wait and see how this all plays out before we get too cocky. I think Kaepernick is still a kid, QB wise and will have to learn on the job. San Fran is also really banged up at receiver with no real deep threat and the running game has disappeared. He needs to work on accuracy, touch and reading defenses. He has the arm and leg talent, let's see if his football IQ catches up. He is really still a rookie when you think about it. All that early success and hype raised our expectations way too high, IMO. If this continues through the whole season, then maybe we can talk about it.

Is Tommy Maddox and option?

Yeah, but somehow it's us that's obsessed.

Jake Locker?

Jake Locker?

naw, he never had any "flash" to begin with.

Kaepernick took his team to the SB after Alex Smith started the first half of the season...

 

[The Derski]

Matt Flynn just needs a legit chance. Arizona should have picked him up. Carson Palmer throws INTs like its a good thing.

Good point.... because its pretty easy to come in as a starter in week 10 and take your 6-2-1 team to 12-4-1 and then beat two quality playoff teams to win the NFC and take it to the super bowl where you lose by only 3 points. I mean who couldn't do that?
