Bring in Colin Kaepernick, like weeks ago.

I honestly want a QB in the 1st round. Even if we have to trade up for one. But I don’t see it happening bc like you mentioned in your last paragraph, we have Will Grier. That’s why I said I think one of those three QBs will be on this team next year. 

We might not be in an optimal position to draft a quarterback first round unless we trade up.

This could be one of those years where we're not good enough to make it into the playoffs but good enough to spike our draft position out of the top ten to fifteen.

Can anybody remember a time when a team brought in a new starting quarterback off the street in midseason and was successful?

Hell, I'm not even sure I remember a time when somebody did that unsuccessfully.

The coaches have been pouring themselves into the guys they have ever since training camp. That's months and months of preparation geared toward this exact situation.

Do you really think they're just going to pull a guy off the street and start over from scratch?

Well this is a completely unprecedented situation. Have we ever seen a player of Kaps ability sitting unrostered before? A player who isn't playing for ability reasons is unheard of so it sets the stage for such talk. I seriously dont see it happening with all the Allen love these days but its interesting to talk about.

Opinions on how good or bad he is are mixed even among NFL people. That was true long before any of the other stuff ever started.

But again, how good or bad he actually isn't really relevant.

Asking anybody to come in and master a brand new system with only eight games left on the schedule is a pretty tall order. Throw in that Kaepernick has never played in a Coryell. If we were running something he had some experience with it might be a better argument, but he's never played in this style of offense.

Beyond that, like I pointed out earlier, from the coaches perspective, they've been training guys we already have since July. You'd be asking them to toss aside these guys they've already put months of work into and start from scratch with somebody new.

It's just not practical.

Deep QB class if they all come out. Tua, Burrow, Herbert, Fromm, Eason and Hurts. I want a receiver but would rather get someone like AJ Green in free agency.

People get all caught up in the BS of politics and color but forget or dismiss his real issue.

he sucks.

chip kelly is an offensive genius to the point that Sean McVae, Doug Pederson and Bill Belicheck spent time with him, run an extraordinary amount of his concepts— the Arizona coach does as well. Many do now— probably brought a lot of revolution to the NFL 

here was the last take on Colin before he went bye bye— this includes Torrey Smith comments(and he was supportive of his cause)

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/colin-kaepernick-49ers-start-chip-kelly-nfl-buffalo-stats-career-highlights-fantasy-101116%3famp=true

if the coach went total read option like we did and can then Colin looks ok. Do anything that looks NFL at all and Colin can’t handle it.

and that’s when he was really in shape. After this many years out, how many plays does he really last? 
 

benched or broken first?

Stat stuffed on a poo team.  What was his record on wins?  1-11?

year before he went 6tds-5ints in 9 games.  Hes trash

Year before was a new head coach who has since been fired then demoted to defensive line coach. 

Among QB's with at least 70 TDs has the 6th best TD:INT ratio of all-time

49ers were 4th in dropped passes and gave up more points than in any other team in the league when he went 16td-4int.

No one's saying make him the franchise QB but he's definitely worth as much consideration as Kyle Allen and Will Grier.

Believe it or not but QB isn't the most critical piece to the team's success at this point.  Hurney and Rivera really do have 9 lives pun intended.  Will be interesting to see what knives are pulled out once the wave of allowances Cam provides disappears.
