Just heard Greg Cossell on KNBR......the arguement between Kaep and Wilson, Wilson is a much better pocket passer than Kaep and Wilson is playign behind an injured OL. Kaep is still learning. Also he has to learn how to throw receivers open or throw in anticipation that the receiver will be open. Right now he has no confidence (which we already know). Greg also said there is now way we win a SB without a passing game, not in today's NFL. To summarize our game against the Saints.....we're not going to win unless the offense can create explosive plays.
You can stop right there. However, the analysis goes much deeper. Darrell Bevell is a much more experienced, more effective play caller than Greg Roman. From the beginning Wilson was taught to look for multiple options. My goodness, does anyone think Doug Baldwin and Golden Tate are every going to even be included on a Pro Bowl ballot, much less elected to one. Jermaine Kearse, in his second season has averaged 18.9/catch with 4 TDs, and he is the #3 receiver. Zach Miller is the reliable TE that I hope McDonald will be someday. He is the safety valve and more. All of which gives Wilson a leg up on Kaepernick before they start.
