Is that english?

He doesn't need to describe every little detail to the media. Ever see Bill Belichick handle the media?

Media ask obvious questions they should expect obvious answers. Stop nitpicking everything. You must be such a blast at parties if you were actually invited.

Saying he should've changed the call doesn't make sense when the player was open...

There were 4 picks to choose from...i took those comments as basically he should've done something different without giving specifics on which play(s) he was referring to.

Like I said...if the media asks an obvious question they shouldn't be surprised with the result.

I mean what did they expect him to say? "I meant to throw the pick to make the game interesting"? I certainly hope he did move on to GB because if by middle of the week and he's still thinking about Arizona then he has no chance to improve.

Kaepernick said after Monday film review of his Arizona miscues, he moved onto Packers. Says should have thrown elsewhere, changed plays

Harbaugh taught him how to handle press conferences haha

Crazy, because some of his teammates have been sub virtuous. He has every reason to chuck his line under the bus but refrains from doing it.

But hey, the agenda mandates the hate spin. Live it up and pray he doesn't turn it around.

Honestly, I don't think the OL had to do with 3 his INT's. Even if he had to scramble like the one to Smith, it is a throw that he can/should make.

Good article by Jake Plummer with specifics

"I was late"

Saying he should change the play when the play is right is actually the worst answer....he isn't recognizing the correct play/read apparently and what was wrong with his actions IMO

Very good analysis. That third gif, the drop to Torrey was horrible feet. His front foot is pointing to his left rather than straight ahead or to his right, where the throw is going. Jake Plummer? So this is what he's doing these days. Good breakdown. Could have fixed it all with fundamentals.

Good question. IMO some people just don't like Kaepernick...i'm not going to say specifically why but I'm sure there are different reasons and they want to be proven right about him "sucking" more so than seeing the team they're supposedly fans of have success.

What I don't get is how those same people can then turn around and call themselves 49er fans. It takes a rare "fan" to actively root against your teams starting QB, especially when the backup is a proven bust in the league.

I don't like Kaepernick but I want him to do well for us, I don't think he will ever be a productive passer without the best team in the league around him but I'd love nothing more than to be proven wrong lol

I love Jake Plummer!

Yesterday, San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick rewrote the record books but for the wrong reasons as he became the fastest quarterback to throw two pick-sixes since 1925.

Why bring up Alex Smith or Andrew Luck?
Alex Smith improved every year even before Harbaugh,
Andrew Luck throws the ball 38+ times a game, because he has to. And still leads his team to 11 wins a year.

Why was it ok to criticize Smith as a 49er and still be considered "real fans"
But criticize Kaep and were "fake fans"
Bull s**t.

We criticize Kaep because we love the 49ers and want the best.
We criticize Kaep because the writing is on the wall that regression is there.
We criticize Kaep because he hasn't improved from day 1.
We criticize Kaep because we were told about a high ceiling, while he plays like he's already hit his ceiling

If you really think it's only been 1 bad game, you haven't been paying close attention

You can tell he doesn't trust the o-line. The right side caves every damn play. That would get in any QB head. Exactly why Jake mentions it.

Solid protection there from Martin. If he continues to play this poorly against GB, Tomsula must make a change at Center right?

Oh god, I was just about to point that out. What a whiff.

What's the point of having a pocket if your QB won't shuffle into it? You step out of the pressure, set your feet and make that throw. And this was not just one instance, I've been saying this is somewhere he needs to improve for 2 years now and have been called a non fan, hater, and racist.

And to genus, I don't hate Kaep. I don't comment in this thread often because being constantly negative is pointless. But I feel he is a detriment to the rest of the team. Just like being a Jazz fan. I don't hate Trey Burke, but I also don't feel as if he is a starting PG.

I keep hoping Kaep proves me wrong. s**t I traveled 900 miles to watch the opener, but it's the same mistakes week in and week out. Horrible foot work, not letting plays develop, not using the pocket. 3 reasons even Kurt Warner said he came to him. It's rather discouraging that these problems he worked all summer on still persist.
