CK is not comfy throwing into a condensed defense.
I love CK and am beyond stoked he is starting....but he is significantly better throwing the ball from 20 to 10 then 5 to goalline

Sadly I completely agree. I've been wondering about that myself and I havent seen anything besides him running it in in those situations that has proven he can handle that side of the ball.
And nothing is wrong with any of this thinking. Honestly I think Kaep has great potential from what I've seen, but like GNielson said, he has only 7 starts and the tenth start of his career. Now for Me, and me only. This is why i'm 50-50 on Kaep. He hasnt played a whole season. I dont think he's gonna surprise teams like he did when he first played the Bears. Yeah he killed em, but they didnt have tape on him, like many others didnt.
I even liked the way that Harbs ended camp yesterday. Kaep had been back and forth at times all offseason so far. Great on some days, ok, on some,, and not so good, etc. So when Kaep and company killed it yesterday in camp. Just so the Qb's or anyone wouldn't foul things up with playing for another 45 mins to an hour. He ended it early to keep everything on that positive note.
Kaep is still working on the short passes. I think i read where Moore (WR), I think had to grab a pass from almost touching the ground, and it was a short pass, but bullet. So i agree, the deep ball with Kaep is almost like second nature. If he can develop that skill to take a little off the short passes, then he may be on his way.
This will be his first full season. So while yeah he helped get us to the promise land with the second half, i cant wait to see what he does with this entire season.
I expect big things, so let me get my popcorn ready.
