I think peeps need to chill a bit on that tho. The dude ATTEMPTED 5 passes and at least 2 were dropped. He was sacked 5 times. Meanwhile they ran for 122 years in the FIRST HALF. It was pretty clear that the gameplan was to run the hell out of the ball. I kept hearing during the game that he had never played in snow and that he would have to learn how to play in the cold...but it ain't exactly balmy in Reno in the winter. He didn't have much trouble in one of the coldest games on record vs the Packers in a playoff game a few years ago.
I dunno what was up with that game, but honestly I think that was more a fluke than anything else. Now I'm not saying to write it off completely but he had just had his best 4 game stretch in years. Perspective is in order.
Good luck trying to get people to agree with this.
No need. Whomever is the QB is SF will always be a polarizing figure. Trying to convince anyone of anything about any player at that position is useless.
I was at a game about a month ago when the 49ers were on D. The D gave up an easy TD and the guy next to me started yelling "Kap, you SUCK!!" at the top of his lungs.
They had just been DEFENSE. Sigh.
A few years back I was at the Packers playoff game at the 'stick where Kap went off.
Midway through the first quarter a fan in front of me was yelling that they never throw the ball down the field and every pass was 5-10 yards downfield. I tried to calmly express the fact that Kap was averaging 8.3 yard per attempt and only completed 62% of his passes which would make his argument mathematically impossible. He basically told me where to shove it and kept drinking his beer.
I'm old enough to remember people hating Steve Young because he wasn't Joe Montana.
QB will always be polarizing regardless of the facts. I'm not even pretending that my opinion of this week is factual either. Its all opinion.
IE, no need to even try to convince anyone.
