Sorry guys...work lately making it harder to get this out in a timely manner.
1) Kap: Yes, he had a rough day. Yes, It was statistically the worst passing performance by a Niner in like 50 years.
I think peeps need to chill a bit on that tho. The dude ATTEMPTED 5 passes and at least 2 were dropped. He was sacked 5 times. Meanwhile they ran for 122 years in the FIRST HALF. It was pretty clear that the gameplan was to run the hell out of the ball. I kept hearing during the game that he had never played in snow and that he would have to learn how to play in the cold...but it ain't exactly balmy in Reno in the winter. He didn't have much trouble in one of the coldest games on record vs the Packers in a playoff game a few years ago.
I dunno what was up with that game, but honestly I think that was more a fluke than anything else. Now I'm not saying to write it off completely but he had just had his best 4 game stretch in years. Perspective is in order.
Gabbert looked like Gabbert. Passes and players feet.
The hate level for Kaep here has gone beyond the realm of actual logic. And this isn't directed at you Marvin
He threw 5 passes (his fault, I guess?)
1 was about a yard short, 2 were dropped/incomplete, one was caught and the final one was a miss. So he missed on 2 passes in a blizzard. 2 passes and people are losing their minds. As far as the sacks, our line got destroyed all game. There were no clean pockets. So 5 sacks, 5 attempted passes. The gameplan was clearly to run the ball. That apparently is the QB's fault.
So now 5 attempted passes in a blizzard wipes away the 9 TDs and 1300 total yards in the previous 4 games? Good luck to whoever we draft to be our QBOTF.
