Thread: Colin Kaepernick

Kaep seems like a douche and kindof unintelligent but I think he could work in Kubiak's system. His accuracy sucks and he can't read defenses for shit, so i'm not saying he can be "fixed," but his athleticism and arm strength are enticing.

Colin Kaepernick received instruction from two-time MVP Kurt Warner in the offseason.

Now he's receiving praise from Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway.

After the 49ers and Broncos joined together for two practices, Elway had nothing but positive things to say about Kaepernick.

“I’ve always liked Colin,” Elway said, via the 49ers team site. ”I think he’s very athletic, and he’s a guy that can make a lot of big plays. He’s doing more within the pocket, which I think will continue to help him. He’s a great athlete, and he’s got that big-play ability to avoid things and make things happen.”

I don't wanna say he has potential to be Elway-esque, because that's blasphemy, but if he was smarter and more dedicated he could be a mighty exciting player to watch in the right system.

But hopefully Brock works out so we don't have to worry about that risk.

Dumb douches (especially inaccurate ones) don't work in any system; if all Elway wanted was legs and an arm, he had and dumped that. The '9ers may have cost themselves multiple SBs by swapping a smarter more precise dual-threat for Kaep. Which is fine by me. I'm more optimistic (relatively) on the odds of turning Ponder into a legit starter.

I must be missing something, why is Kaepernick a douche?

Seems like that'd be a question to ask BEFORE high-fiving the comment, but whatever. I believe (rightly or not) aberdien was just stating his impression, but it's one I happen to share. Kaep looks, talks and presents himself more like a guy who deals meth out of a trailer than a starting pro QB. Note, btw, that I'm not attributing that last part to aberdien.

So you're saying Abe thinks Kap is a meth dealer?

No, I said just the opposite point blank: That I just took my perception of his impression to the next level. Whom should I PM when trolled by a mod?

It would suck to have a pos like Kaepernick be your franchise qb. We would just have to boo his sorry ass out of town
