Bay Area Writer: Kaepernick One-Read QB, Cam Actually Reads Defenses

The 49ers face a version of themselves this Sunday.

If the 49ers are a “Bob,” the Panthers are a “Roberto.”

For the most part, the 49ers and Panthers are the same team: Excellent, hard-hitting defenses. Quarterbacks who run and throw. Offenses built around running the ball. And coaches who are the sons of coaches – football brats. Jim Harbaugh is the son of Jack Harbaugh, the former college coach. And the Panthers’ offensive coordinator, Mike Shula, is the son of Don Shula, the Hall of Fame head coach.

The difference between Bob and Roberto – the “erto” – is the difference between Jim and Mike. Jim and Mike coach the passing game differently. Jim coaches a simplified passing game and Mike coaches a complicated passing game. The “erto” is a synonym for complicated.

Great article.

This is what a lot of people seem to miss...

 

 

 

And Newton doesn’t need great receivers – he doesn’t have any. Kaepernick does. Kaepernick needs Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin and Vernon Davis, or else the other team can double-cover Kaepernick’s primary receiver, and then Kaepernick is out of options.

 

also, I think this article called Kaep stupid without calling him stupid.

You go Roberto!

"Jim coaches a simple passing game, while Mike coaches a complicated passing game." Not exactly hard-hitting stuff.

My favorite part-

The same reason Alex Smith was able to take them to the NFCS.

G-Man needs to get another good receiver for Newton STAT.

My favorite part as well. And have you heard his press conferences? Awful. I've never seen Cam interviewed at his locker either or with headphones around his neck.

Wonderlic Score 2011:

 

Cam Newton, Auburn - 21

 

Colin "King" Kaepernick, Nevada - 38  (Also he got accepted to Harvard, but declined)

Notice the zero comments.

9ers fans read poo likethat and their heads explode.

Thank you very much, Mr. Roberto.
