I don't think he did that this game.
He DOES give them a better chance....but that doesn't mean they are going to win every game. Alex would have been crushed under that rush. He wouldn't have converted half the third downs that Kaep did. I like Alex, but Kaep gives the 49ers a better chance to win. He's going to make mistakes, but he's also going to make big plays to make up for them.
That was a blitz...Alex does well with Blitzes.
I do believe that Kaep is the future and I think he has a heck of a lot more ceiling than Alex. I am just not sure he gives the 9ers the best chance now. He certainly has big play ability that Alex has not demonstrated..
Again, I'm commenting on this game specifically...we'll see how it turns out.
Yeah....but I don't think he escapes and runs 50 yards.
I know what you're saying because I had the same thought after the first Rams game. I think it's clear tho that this game notwithstanding, the seam is much more dynamic when he's in there and he is capable of creating when the play breaks down. That's something Alex has never been able to do.
