Kaep had people here defending our line, coaching staff and just about everything only now to admit they all suck. But Kaep was supposed to rise above the following: worst line in the league, worst coaching staff in the league, most unprepared team in the league, poor running game. Gabbert has been poor and the next QB that we get to play for us with this same staff will be crap too.

I just said he was a prime example of how a lot more sacks are on the QB than people think. Behind the same O-line and actually a weaker version because of injuries Kirk is getting sacked less than half as much as Griffin and McCoy were.

You think everything's the same, huh? It's funny because I talk to Skins fans and they have a completely different view.

that gif is so stupid

Yeah. What was that gif supposed to show? They were completely different plays versus completely different coverages. Was it supposed to compare and contrast something?

Funny how NOW we're hearing cries of rebuilding the OL, new HC, new OC, upgrade receivers/TE, etc. But the problem was Kaep previously. LOL. As I have always said, Kaep's play was a SYMPTOM of the problem. Anyways, I'm done talking unless some new info pops up. See you in NFL Talk.

Kaepernick sucks. If you don't see this by now, you just don't understand the game of football. It's that simple.

Neither of these two views are correct, nor are they incorrect. They are just gross simplifications about something complex.

That's ridiculous. Some quarterbacks are simply better players than others. And there are so many QBs who are better than Kaepernick, that he doesn't even reach the average category (for a starter). The dude can't read a defense or see open receivers. He simply doesn't have the visual / mental ability to be a good QB, and that's a skill that is not going to develop at 28 years old.

You're trying to make it complicated; it's not. He's a mental midget compared to even average NFL quarterbacks.

What do you think made Montana so great? His foot speed & arm strength?

Whatever you say.

How is this even a topic any more? The Kaepernick fans were wrong. It's that simple. Some people had true faith that Ryan Leaf would become a great QB too. I'll bet Leaf's ineptitude was more than met the eye too right? It's not that he was just a bad QB; it's more complex than that.

Ryan Leaf was never good, Kapernick has played well for long stretches. I would say Leaf is more comparable to Gabbert at this point.

why was this thread locked?

I wouldn't say he sucks but the fact that one of the biggest draft busts in the last 5 years (Gabbert) is outplaying him is pretty embarrassing.

2 years is not a long stretch.
