I also think Collin Kaepernick is not even better than an average QB. last year, San Fran was an absolute BEAST on all aspects of the team. they had an amazing defense, so many weapons on offense, and FRANK GORE tearing it up. with those kind of levels of bad assery, only a putz at QB would have missed the playoffs. I seriously doubt CK will be in this league for more than 3 or so years...
1st year stats of elite QBs playing 10 or more games in NFL:
Elway: 47.5%, 7 TD, 14 Int, Rate 54.9
Tarkenton: 56.1%, 18TD, 17Int, Rate 74.7
Montana: 64.5%, 15TD, 9Int, Rate 87.8
Young: 53.7%, 8TD, 13 Int, Rate 65.5
Bradshaw: 38.%, 6TD, 24 Int, Rate 30.4lol
Peyton Manning: 56.7%, 26TD, 28 Int, Rate 71.2
Brady: 63.9%, 18TD, 12 Int, Rate 86.5
Favre: 64.1%, 18 TD, 13 Int, Rate 85.3
Brees: 60.8%, 17 TD, 16 Int, rate 76.9
Colin Kaepernick: 62.4% (higher than Elway, Tarkenton, Young, Bradshaw, Manning, and Brees)
10 TD, 3 Int (Better TD to Int ratio than all of them), Rate: 98.3 = BEST QUARTERBACK RATING OF THE BUNCH, and the only QB in the bunch to take his team to a Super Bowl in year 1.
There are a few that started out better, but damned few. Right now his Rating is 86.6, ranking him 11th out of more than 50 NFL QBs who have started games this year.
People that are writing Kaepernick off REALLY have a limited understanding of what it takes to make a successful NFL quarterback, and underestimate his potential to take this team deep into the playoffs at their own risk.
Ill fight you all day on this axl, only time will tell
I will repeat, losing your #1 and #2 receivers to start the year WILL make a difference
You must have missed the rookie qb who had yet to play a full year have a brilliant come back win in the NFC championship and then almost come back to within 1 play of winning the super bowl
