This is pretty silly. Kaep was never a tier 1 QB, the national media just really wanted him to be one. Cam was never a teir 3 QB, the national media really just wanted him to be one. 

 

The truth is Cam has always been tier 1, and Kaep has always been tier 3 or 4 in reality. Nothing has changed except the fabricated media story line.

Kaep was never more than a game manager. His first season as a part-time starter, he looked decent. Nobody had film on him and he could beat people with his legs. The next year (2013) wasn't great, only 21 passing TDs and a really rough stretch, but he was passable. Then each year, he got worse and worse and he never learned. The issue is he was never a good passer - whereas Cam has excelled at passing, as shown by having two consecutive 400-yard games in his first two starts. So it was only a matter of time until Kaep collapsed.

I still hold that if the 49ers had kept Alex Smith instead of Kaep as starter, they would have won that Super Bowl.

Gotta disagree there about Cam. Certainly top tier now, but 2012 had alot of growing pains with it. I know alot of that was the shitstorm Chud created, but Cam didnt become a Top 5 QB until last season.

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
