Then there’s the question of whether Kaepernick’s success comes more from his innate abilities or from the highly talented team that surrounds him. And whether any other coach can get out of Kaepernick the production that Harbaugh has — especially once the postseason rolls around and Kaepernick seems to find a higher level of play.

Hahahahaha.

On a serious note, this would truly fug us on Cam's contract negotiations, as this would surely be the first contract his agent will look to as a jumping off point for talks.

Discuss.

Trent Balke knows how to play this game better than Kaeps agent... He almost sent off Harbaugh because Harbaugh wanted too much on a new contract, who says Balke wont do the same to Kaep... I wouldn't be surprised to see San Fran bring in a quality backup quarterback to provide leverage in negotiations with Kaep.

Kap isn't worth it, he and Wilson have the best supporting casts in the entire league and usually manage games, no way they're deserving of elite money.

Russ is. He struggled a little during the playoffs but he's great.

Kaep on the other hand..... WOW. $18M per year for a QB with the arm of Derek Anderson and the decision making ability of Daunte Culpepper. Awesome. Where do we sign up?

He'll get it. That's just today's NFL. They traded away a #1 pick who was having his best season, so Kaepernick could be their future. If your committed to a guy at qb that's the price these days. You either pay it or move on to a guy who you believe is worth it, but chances are you're going to pay it to somebody at some point. Look at every contract qbs are signing these days. That's just the market for a franchise qb and they obviously believe Kaepernick is their guy.

Either Derek Anderson still has extremely high arm strength that I am not aware of, or you are uninformed. You can mock Kaep for many things, but arm strength is definitely not on that list.

Accuracy. Not strength.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
