The 49ers WR corps may tip scales in their favor


top dawg

Recommended Posts

But didn't he have a whole year and a half to sit behind one of the smarter QB's in the league in Alex Smith, not to mention tutoring from an old QB turned head coach (and a very succesful one at that) in Jim Harbaugh. Surely one of those guys could've learned him to go through his reads if he was capable of doing so?

 

Learning behind someone is overrated. It's either you can do it or you can't otherwise all those backups to say Brady or Manning will be lighting up the league because they were learning behind the greats. He just needs more experience playing and I think he will be fine. Cam did not enter the league going through all his reads until just last year, his 3rd playing.

I swear it's like some people and even analysts totally ignore the salary cap and the huge money we have tied up in a handful of players because of the past regime. You think if Gettleman had the type of leverage (picks + cap space) that the 9ers have he wouldn't be adding higher value pieces? He literally stepped into a situation where his team's financial future and draft pics were pissed away by an ex- beat writer.

it's like reading posts from a wfnz caller

 

"JR is so cheap!  what is gettleman doing?  look at all these other teams that surround their young QB with weapons.  who in the blue hell is jason avant?  go stillers i'll take it off the air"

I don't know. Ol Gruden on MNF has called him out that he needs to learn to read coverages. Cam is much better at doing that than Kap. That one read then run has some truth to it. Our first game in SF last year was an example of it. He could get better but I'll wait to see if that happens. If Cam goes 5 deep at WR, Kap could have a tough time keeping up with that even with their WR's. Cam went 3 deep at WR last year and still out gained him.

You realize Kap went one deep right? Other than Boldin who did he have? Kyle Williams was his #2 and Marlon Moore his #3 to start the season. Sorry but Cams group was better. Yes Boldin is a beast but hes no longer a #1 and he hasnt been for years. He had a nice run in the playoffs with flacco but this was his first 1000 yd season since warner and he did it with Kap. The guy is no where near quick enough to get consistent seperation from the better corners and while he's good at catching the 50/50 ball, you dont wanna try that all game. And no the first game in SF is not an example. We win that game if Vernon stays in. We were up 9-0 when he left. He left then Kap looked like garbage because he only had Boldin who isnt quick enough to beat double coverage. He made one read because there literally was only one read that he trusted most the season. Did he go one read when we had moss walker crab and vernon? No. And he wont this year now that he has competent targets again.

Look, I like the "they need a QB" theme as well, but let's be real. They came down to Charlotte and beat our asses as they were---Kap included. And, I don't know why their defense would drop off unless I am missing something.  Our receivers will have to step up.

 

Kaep is not the scrub that the huddle makes him out to be. He is surrounded by a damn all star squad though.

We physically dominated that game. Kap was scared at the end. And to say our WR corp was better is idiotic and typical 9er fan rubbish. I liked 9er fans better when you guys couldn't be found prior to the Harbaugh hire.

Oh yeah and one other thing. Cam outgaining Kap was based solely on their # of attempts. Kap actually outgained Cam in yards per throw, cam just threw the ball more times. We had so many games wrapped up in the 2nd quarter and we would start running the clock down and Kap wouldnt get many throws. If Kap threw the ball as many times as Cam he woulda been at about 3700 yards. Better than Cam.

Damn right he was scared. His only target was a slow poke that was getting doubled and yall were coming through with crazy pressure. Its not hard to physically dominate when theres no threats downfield to worry about.

I think we hate him more for his douchey "I'm the man I'm the man I'm the man" persona, when he was just carrying Alex's clipboard around 3 years ago. Also, everyone sweats his nuts for being so amazing, when in reality his surrounding cast is amazing, and he does just enough to capitalize on it. As previously mentioned, he is the weak link holding that team back, but seems like he gets a lot of the credit, as if put the team on his back and carried them through their successful seasons. Drop Cam in the same all star line up and he would easily be just as, if not more, successful than Kap. If Gabbert gets a chance to come in and play and blows every one away with his "progress", it will even further make us question whether Kap is any good, or if it was the system he landed up in.

And please tell me how our WR were better. Is having an incredibly slow #1 good?? Is having guys that will never see the field again as your #2 and #3 good?? Lol you guys kill me.
