He’s not as accurate as Lamar because he lacks touch, but this is a new league. They’re finally realizing you can do things multiple ways. College might actually be more innovative offensively than the NFL. The option and **** like that can definitely work if you do it every and now and then instead of every play like ARMY and NAVY back in the day.

When it comes to a QB like Kap, I don’t see how the forums can champion Taysom Hill when he’s practically the same player. Taysom is seemingly getting better at throwing in his 30’s, so why couldn’t Kap? What makes him incapable? These opinions of him are rooted more in politics than in football. He kneeled. He protested. He does what he does for the community. It’s documented. Let it be.

The RPO was such a new thing to NFL defenses at first that he gashed teams. In time teams started to figure out ways of taking parts of that game away and forced him to try to beat them with the pass. As you pointed out, that was his weakness and eventually cost him his job.

Lamar, on the other hand, has the shiftiness of a RB and can still throw accurately from either in the pocket or on the move. Kap was always more angular, and while more allusive than most QB's, no where near as elusive as Lamar, or for that matter, Deshaun Watson or Kyler Murray.

I agree with that assessment of his agility. He definitely isn’t shifty like the guys you mentioned. Maybe a better comparison would be Cam Newton, another QB with accuracy and touch issues who went to a Super Bowl. I guess what I’m saying is if the ingredients are right he can be successful in the league. He’s talented enough to start in the NFL. He always was. No one can convince me he wouldn’t be better than Mason Rudolph or Jeff Driskel.

I'll agree on Rudolph and Driskel, but Newton also had the build of a middle linebacker. He ran over and through people. Kap certainly can't play that game.

Kap isn’t exactly small either though.

6’4” 230 lbs.

That’s solid. Just an inch shorter and 15 lbs. lighter than Newton.

You think he'd last as long as Newton playing the same type of game? Newton is a freak and it has still taken a major toll on his body. I get where you're trying to go, but put Newton and Kap side by side in a pair of shorts and tell me which one you would rather be hit by. :D
