re: Kaep getting a pass for running OOB on SF's last drive?

Kaepernick isnt even a top 15 QB

This statement was made abundantly clear on Sun afternoon. That being said, someone with any kind of situational awareness who have known to stay in bounds if it was clear he wasnt going to get the 1st. Most HS QBs would know that. Plus Harbough prob reminded him of that right before the play.

I always wonder how coaches are allowed to get away with arse-clownery like this, but now I know why. People like you are not only not bright enough to realize how stupid that timeout was but actually go as far as to praise Payton for it.

That timeout saved exactly 1 second at the cost of a timeout. The next play was an incomplete pass so the clock would have stopped anyway. The 2 minute warning was not used to stop the clock.

Jesus Christ, I hope you were being sarcastic with your post although I really just don't think you were.

I hope this is a troll.

Props to the San Diego Chargers for bailing out Ryan Tannehill, who ran out of bounds on 3rd down when the Chargers had one timeout left and less than 2:20 remaining in the game.

If Kaep hadn't run out of bounds, we wouldn't have had any timeouts left on our final drive because of Payton's illogical decision to call a timeout at 2:01.

You take the timeout at 2:01 because it makes it extremely difficult for 49ers to run clock backed up on 2nd and 19.

Let's say you let the clock go to the 2:00 warning. 49ers run the ball coming out of it, force you to take a timeout there, and then run the ball again on 3rd down.

The timeout before the 2 minute warning basically makes the 49ers throw the ball, because running the ball accomplishes nothing in that situation. Basically enticed the 49ers to be too aggressive deep in their territory and it paid off.

GTFO with sound logic and reason.

Got it.

edit: Wait, by calling the timeout, the clock was going to stop on the next play no matter what since it was the 2 minute warning. They could still run the ball.
