Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

Careful there.
Beginners' luck still. Two games and he has been annonited as an elite qb.
The media is running with Kaepernick like they did last year with Tebow. Whatever happend to Tebow? LOL


Cruel thing to do to a person. Hopefully, Kaepernick wont' buy the media talk and take it too seriously.



Go :bng: 8-8 or 9-7. That would be great for this year.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

Kaepernick is very good. He's no Tebow.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

As long as he stays off the Jets, he should be ok.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

True Dat !

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

Yeah, at least Kaepernick has some skill ... I still chuckle at how John Fox in Denver referred to his offensive scheme with Tebow as a 'no-pass option' offense.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

He is going to have a rookie bad game and drop 3 INT's. Even the ELITE do it... except due to the timing of all of this, there is a good chance it comes during a play off game.

His skill set is good, his game management is not.. we saw the penalties from rookie mistakes when we played him..

I would go with Smith... A proven stable commodity.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

Bumping to say that HOLY CRAP he played great tonight. I hate to say nice things about the 49ers, but that was kind of fun to watch.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

Did.nt he shame us with those same running plays. The man has guns like a linebacker. As long as they and the clowns are still in it. I will pull for the seadogs

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

Had a discussion about this topic at work today. It's fools gold. He fooled the Packers. After what happened to RG3 they were not exspecting it. It won't happen again.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

I was listening to the game on the radio & the announcers were saying something about him being able to throw a 90mph fastball? I wasn't aware of him playing baseball prior to the NFL, but they were definitely referring to those guns.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

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.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

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).

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

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

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

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

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

^^^THIS^^^

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

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.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

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.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

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.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

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?

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

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

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

One of my all time favorite non-saints. I don't agree with his reasoning for quitting, but I do understand.

I loved watching him play, and I rarely love watching anyone play who doesn't wear Black & Gold.

Marino and Sanders are the only two non-saints that I pulled for as hard as I pull for Saints players. Can't think of anyone else in that company. Even Earl Campbell, Warren Moon, Cornelius Bennent, and Derrick Thomas are a notch below.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

I often tell people that Earl Campbell was my first love. The man gave his body to the sport. He's a mess now and I hate to see it.

Sanders is my favorite player that wasn't a Saints player. Not only because he was awesome but for the simple fact that he would do some amazing play for a TD, hand the ball to the ref and head to the sideline. That's one of the reasons why I like Colston so much.

Re: Kaepernick, the new Tebow
 

They said the same thing about RGIII. RG won't even play next year. That's two QB/runners in RG and Tebow that didn't work out. Kaepernick won't either. All it's going to take is one hit when he takes off with somebody waiting for for him. The NFL is very unforgiving in this aspect. Either stand back there and throw the ball or find yourself having a very short NFL career.
