Will the offense get better, or worse with Kaepernick at QB?

I think he'll be just as effective as Gabbert.

More home run plays and less intermediate and short completions. I suspect drive will stall more than now. Yardage stats will be better, but point production lower. Kaep is good at all the things Gabbert is bad at and vice versa. Just my guess.

Good ones though.

Concerns with CK:
1. Redzone production
2. Short and intermediate passes (that is Kelly's offense); in the middle of the field
3. Pre and post snap recognition
4. Telegraphing passes
5. Flow/rhythm (it's been a year)
6. Many more sacks
7. Risky passes (forcing into double/triple coverages)
8. Getting hurt (soft tissue) d/t being vegan
9. Pressing too much (something to prove)
10. QB PTSD. There is a big psych hurdle to get over here

We know the good stuff!

I hope Kerley has life insurance because Kaepernick is certain to get him carted off the field after he stares him down and lines him up perfectly to take a massive hit.

Yes, I said it and didnt stutter one bit when I said it. I said 3,300 yards, 19 tds, 10 ints and an 86.4 passer rating isnt amazing but its not bad. Its definitely not horrible which is what everyone seems to say about post 2013 Kap.

If he remains the Limp Pickle vegan = noticeably better

Starts eating meat again / dumps his chic = extremely better

How is Kap going to fix our broken and battered D? With no ability to make stops, we are gonna still look like a train wreck. If we AVG 28 pts/ game, it still may not be enough. We are stopping nobody with our decimated D. Only if the
O under Kap puts up 35 pts/
Game...will we have a shot.

There are three possible outcomes.

1. 2012. Kap comes in, destroys the Bills by throwing the ball, We do not lose more than 3 games out of the stretch. Kap stays at least one more year.
2. 2014. Kap comes in, does better than Gabbert, but nothing spectacular, we end up with 5-8 wins depending on the outcome of close games. Kap leaves after the season, and we are looking for picking a QB in the teens, but at least we don't suck too hard anymore.
3. 2015. Different QB means different mistakes, and it does not present an obstacle in the race for #2 overall.

Sadly, this is true.

If Kaepernick can hit open receivers down field and can make the right read in the run game, it will be better.

Kaep will make plays with his feet , and if he can nail some quick hitters right out of the gate, it will help the offense be more effective

I expect him to have a strong game, as I said before , this time around there is no Devey, Pears or Martin starting on the offensive line, and with improved pass protection, it will give him a chance to be more productive , and also Geep Chryst isn't calling the plays , so the run-run-pass-kick offense shouldn't be on display

hopefully he gets on the same page as Patton, Smith and McDonald , we need him to get it going with our starting receivers, this will loosen up the box for Hyde to make plays if this can be achieved , I'm glad we don't have to sit through another game watching Gabbert forcing the ball to Kearley , it seems as Kearley was the only receiver he trusted, Kaep needs to connect with Smith and McDonald most importantly , our #1 WR and #1 TE need to make plays

Last year's MVP had a worse 2014 statline than Kap's above.

Enough with being over picky in a year when our team had mental issues everywhere.

Absolutely true

If that was his best, he should be out the league soon. Sorry.

I'm sure he will be. Him and Ponder are one in the same to me and Ponder was on his couch until a desperate team called him after Thad went down. Gabbert will either sign for peanuts next year or be in the same situation as Ponder was, sitting around waiting for a call from an extremely desperate organization

I don't get all the fans who want Ponder to start instead of Kaep ?? ...Ponder was on the streets for a reason , and if we wanted him, we should have grabbed him before we wasted a 6th round pick on Driskell ...another waste of a draft pick by Trent

Who knows. If he is missing open receivers like Gabbert, then we get Ponder. Besides that, only place to go is up after Baalke doing nothing to fill the holes in this team.
