Well, nobody has said it ,but we won't carry 4 qBs, nor should we, and i think you KAP fans may very well be in for a surprise. Tolz is ready now, as he showed last PS. The JJ signing tells me KAP has all the tools, but is not what Coach H and baalke thot he was. Harbaugh has hx with JJ, but it is KAP who i think is on the block. I could be wrong and everyone else right, but this is a bizarre signing...unless, H& B don't like what they see NOT happening with KAP. I can't explain it otherwise. Of all the guys they could have signed, OL, DB, CB, RB, and WR...and we sign a backup QB?
Man, something is wrong here, and it has to be KAP's not making the grade. This looks like pure and simple insurance, with Tolz #2, and JJ #3....and KAP adios. If so, i hope we can get something for him, like a swap with someone else for first rd pick. Our #30 might just as well have been a high 2nd rounder. Kap could make the difference there, and if so, B& H already have someone in mind, who wanted KAP during draft,and now is willing to swap places with us in first rd. That could explain adding another insurance qB. Obviously, it also could be Tolz, but he is game ready, and i think that is the concern...that KAP isn't .
So thats why CK was the backup dressing on sundays and actually getting some real playing time... it all makes sense now!
Preseason should determine everything regardless of the fact it was done against 3rd and 4th stringers now bagging my groceries at safeway. CK was given one legit drive this season and went 3-3 with excellent throws and led to a td, but that was when we were up on tampa and doesnt count since preseason is much more reflective of how good teams really are
.
Whatever thought process is leading people to believe Tolz is somehow more ready than CK needs some work. There is zero evidence to support that conclusion.
Here is an analysis of another one of Tolz's preseason games... sure you're ready to proclaim him?
Scott Tolzien took over the San Diego offense after halftime in their game against the Seattle Seahawks. Tolzien's first three passes fell incomplete, and those stood as his only attempts in the 3rd quarter after Bryan Walters returned a Seattle kickoff 103 yards for a score. Tolzien recorded his first positive play early in the fourth quarter when he took off running for a 3 yard gain in the Chargers' first 4th quarter series, but he gave that ground right back when he was sacked on the next play. Tolzien completed his first pass on the Chargers' next possession, a four-yard dump-off to undrafted rookie FB Dean Rogers, but the offense was stuffed on third and short and forced to punt, the fourth consecutive three-and-out for Tolzien. Seattle drove the field for a game-tying touchdown on their next drive. With the score tied, Tolzien went down under pressure and coughed up the ball with just under four minutes remaining in the game. Seattle ran in the go-ahead score on their ensuing possession, and Tolzien faced a three-minute drive to tie it up. That's when Scott went to work.
Beginning at his own 30 yard line, Tolzien scrambled for five yards and threw incomplete on second down. Then, in a bold display of clutchiness, Tolzien completed four straight passes, earning three first-downs and driving the Chargers all the way to the Seahawk's 12 yard line. Crowded up in the red zone, however, Tolzien found the going tough. More than just a general "speed of the game", Tolzien appeared flummoxed by the speed of the defensive backfield, seeing his passes knocked away by defenders who quickly closed already small windows. With second and three to go at the Seattle 5 yard line, Tolzien missed on three consecutive passes, including an egregious overthrow through the endzone as he rolled out to the right. Seattle took over and downs and claimed the victory.
That was written by a badger homer, so it even has a biased positive spin to it and still doesnt sound good lulz.
