Fran Tarkenton Says Kaeperknick looks Confused?

This year is is pocket passing school for Kaep. Next year will be total annihilation!

I agree with what Fran said but I see it both ways. I think Kaep needs to find a way to play loose... not so stiff. But at the same time, I like him being told what to do on every play. Young Qbs have the mindset that they can squeeze passes into any window and Harbs probably knows that he had growing pains when he was a young QB.

Like Verb said...Learn to be in the pocket this year. Set himself up nicely for his career!

It's almost like opposing defenses are taking away his strengths and making him prove he can win in the pocket.

Damn right ...they say it takes 3 solid years as a starter to fully grasp the offense ....next year I expect Kap to have the ability to run so many different schemes.... "read option" , "vintage west coast offense" as well as the Jumbo packages and odd formations Jim and Greg like to run ...when Kap grows up , our offense is going to be a terrifying monster

he is being like his coach , playing not to lose insted of playing to win. affraid to make mistakes , wants to be like Alex. !

The Panthers game was an eye opener in many ways.

It demonstrated loud and clear that a one dimensional offense will not get it done in our quest for another Super Bowl.

They challenged us to pass and we failed. We failed in play calling, adjustments and execution.

Tark is right and IMO it's been the coaching that has slowed Kap down.

SURE - he needs to develop a softer touch on shorter throws and get better at progressions BUT the 3 play crap hasn't really been successful

I have no problem with this critique. He seems that way to me too. You just have to hope Kaep keeps progressing. He has the credibility to make this comment, that is for sure.

CK is confused...on who Fran Tarkenton is and why he is talking about him. LOL

With better receiving weapons comes better results. I see him improving dramatically these next 5 games.

Is it bad that I didn't want to hear what Tarkenton had to say for the sole reason that people compare Russell Wilson to him?



With that said, I think he is right.

Pretty Good accessment from a very good QB & football mind in Fran T. I agree with him. Let CK use his legs more and throw on the run more, He has a cannon and can make HUGE chunk plays passing downfield using his legs.

So this needed its own thread why?

LOL! He's probably trying to find him on Instagram for more bulletin board material.

If Kap played with his instincts, he'd run after his first option was covered since that's what he did so much in college. Kap is being re-wired. Don't let him play with his instincts. It will pay off in the long run.
