Would Kap have made a good WR?

Beat me to it. Dude panicks when someone gets within 4 yards of him in the pocket. Can you really picture him laying out for a catch knowing he's about to get lit up? Plus,no where near quick enough and has tiny hands.

cant argue with that haha
No, his hips are too stiff. Would round all his cuts and struggle to get separation.

I know this question probably comes from the fact Terrell Pryor is having success at WR, but he's a different, more fluid athlete. Kap is a great athlete as well, just different and not suited for WR.

Mentally soft QB's don't do what he did in the playoffs. It must take so much energy to hate someone the way you do.
Thread is basically cat nip for haters.
No, his eyes are too close together.

Those final 4 plays in the superbowl show how mentally soft he is and every game since then

Maybe. The only problem is he'd never get any yac once the ball is caught (kneels).

RB is more suitable...

Can he punt? Tall for attracting roughing kicker penalties. Storm down the sideline to tackle the returner.

Terell Pryor sr says hi and yes
Nope not at all
Gabbert would be a better option
He's a lot quicker and has a great burst, but he's definitely not fast

Based on his inability to make quick, accurate post-snap reads, he would not be a good receiver. Also, as others have noted, his lack of agility in his hips would keep him from running the routes he would need as a legit WR. He might be able to sneak in an up route now and again but DBs would quickly learn to shut that down.

Leave him at QB. At 29, a major position change isn't going to happen. For one thing, he has already turned down a 50% pay cut to play QB. No WR whose name is not Jones or Green is going to get $15+million.
I remeber when they were playing the Lions one year and someone on the team talked about preparing for Calvin Johnson and said the only guy on the 49ers with comaparable size and athletic ability to practice against was Kap.
