It was a response to the statement that he was NEVER good.

It's a tryout...for a stop gap or bench player. This sites thrives off of overreaction and hyperbole.

Calling "hyperbole" is amusing, given that every year Kaepernick is away, the perception of how good he was when he played gets further exaggerated. At this rate, he'll be a hall of famer and borderline greatest of all time within three or four years from now.

As far as a more realistic take...

Good? Somewhat.

Very good? Maybe at times.

Great? Not really.

He was always a better athlete than quarterback, and plenty of people knew it. General belief was that he never got past being a one read quarterback (and there was plenty of film evidence) but Harbaugh did a good job compensating for it.

That's reality.

Hes been better than every QB we've brought in.

 

You might even have a point if we were a good team making good decisions, but in reality we're being rumored to want to trade for Baker Mayfield.
 

Welcome to reality. Where last year we were so bad we had to pull the ghost of Cam Newton off of the couch to start for us.

Hey I like it!! He’s trying to be vocal like Steve Smith!! I agree with him.. he’ll no to Mayfield.. he’s no better than Darnold!! I was hopeful Baker would be hood cause of his emotion and energy!! Plus Baker said he’ll no to the Panthers already too!! So guess we forgot that..

If he played like Steve Smith on the field then he could be vocal like Steve Smith. But he's plays like Robby Anderson so he should STFU and hope the front office forgets they haven't cut him yet.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
