Kaepernick, the new Tebow

TheOak · 01-13-2013, 08:20 AM

Tebow hasn't been in the NFL long enough now has he played enough for there to be a new version of someone that has yet to be a success.

I'd compare him more to Cam Newton. Newton looked awesome for about a season then teams started figuring him out and he came back down to earth (well everything but his ego did).

One glaring difference between the two (outside of talent) is Kaepernick is a punk.

I haven't followed the guy much off the field but why is he a punk? I haven't seen anything to led me to that.
Once again I don't follow the guy much

Rookies either look like crap year 1 or look like the next Marino....

Year two reality sets in... Teams have enough game film to know whats going on...

This season Kaepernick is still in the "I took someone elses job" mode... Wait until the off season when SF brings in a few QB's to try out... The high
will go away.

Fair enough, it could take a few games, a season and two , on and off filed to see what you have there depending on how long the person has been the starter.
Kaepernick has not played a full season. Tebow did not either.

I cannot remember the story of Steve Young.
He was there watching, waiting for a chance being second to Joe Montana.
He chance came and he did well. He went all the away with the 49'ers under the worst pressure of following that qb, Joe Montana.

What was it? Luck? Some real stats and talent of Young? The team and coaching staff ?
All of it I would say.

You don't have to follow him only have to watch his last game to see it. For example, didn't slide, took a good hit because of it in the red zone, got up and spiked the ball at the defensive players who hit him (like a punk), 15 yard unsportman penalty.
I'm kinda old school though, I like the players who let their play speak for them. When I say he is a punk, he is one of a huge bunch of young players just like that. He undeniably has great talent and a HUGE arm. He is the starting QB and therefore leader of the team, act like it or go play for the Panthers.

I gotta' agree with this sentiment. Let your play do the talking. The one thing I liked best about Barry Sanders was he would just flip the ball to the ref after every touchdown. No dance, no 'in-your-face', he knew how to act like he'd scored before.

When Kaepernick became the starting QB, they started with all the human interest stuff about all the adversity he's faced to become an NFL QB and blah, blah, blah, blah ... and I thought 'rubbish', let's see how the kid handles a little success before we put him on a pedestal.

Looks like he might have a chip on his shoulder, eh?

Loved Barry. Did you watch NFL Network's "A Football Life" on Sanders? A great watch.
