Hot route? The receiver was lookin at him the whole time he'd just have to fire it over to him.

Kaep is a joke.

Yeah Torrey smith was begging for the ball at the bottom of the screen. A little lob to him picks up plenty of yards

A little misleading. There's only 9 defenders in the screen. So there's two safeties to cover them.

Lol. If you throw it out there he's at least going to pick up a 1st down. Plus I'd like my chances of making a safety miss in a 1 on 1 in the open field.

Wouldn't have mattered. He would have thrown it at his feet anyway.

He's bad, but he's no Aaron Rodgers.

No. There is a safety over the top.

So worst case scenario is they lose a yard on a penalty.

I didn't say he shouldn't of thrown it to them. I'm just saying they aren't completely uncovered as the GIF makes it appear

If he had checked out pre-snap and told the line he'd be ok, but yes, post snap changing the play to a pass he risks a penalty. It's possible to get away with it if the line is basically running sideways as opposed to forwards and the pass is very quick, or if the pass is behind the line.

Tomsula later came out and said Kaepernick is able to audible out of plays but honestly I think he's not and if he is, the coaches are at fault for not building checks into the play (i.e. read coverage to both sides).

Something like that doesn't just happen in the QBs head on one snap, it's more than that. It shows that the team and coaching structure is rotten to the core. Which is unsurprising given that the FO brought in a bunch of guys who'd failed elsewhere to surround a guy who was on no ones hot list as the next big thing at head coach.

The 49ers offense is abysmal, in part because it's so vanilla. They could've had Holmgren, Shannahan, Gase or just kept Harbaugh, but they wanted to go young, and win with class.

Correct. That's why the team are leaking stuff about Kaepernick and other players at every opportunity. Easier to blame the last coach's golden boy than the handpicked successor to the coach they fired.

Having run Harbaugh out they'll probably do the same with Kaepernick, again to replace him with someone who has half the talent and none of the upside.

If he does a 1 step drop, there is no way the linemen can get up field fast enough. A lot of the top tier QBs do this several times a season. Now, if he does a 3 step drop or fakes the handoff, then you are correct he'd get flagged immediately.

And, since he'd be in the endzone, after the 3 step drop, I believe the penalty would have been a safety?

If the throws it immediately they aren't going to call that and every team has a call for an immediate hot route throw unless their coach is a complete fool.
