What else is there?

If you don't think he's one of the 32 best QBs, there's not much else I'd like to really debate with you on this topic.

I think the better question is where do you think he should be the starting QB? Environment, staff, focus, scheme etc? He in the article I linked it says the 49ers felt Gabbert did a better job running the offense than Kaep. Blaine Gabbert. And Kelly's offense should have been perfect for him.

attitude is a big part of NFL QB, so distractions aside, taking into account his current ability and his attitude where should he have gone?

LOL at people that believe that.


Just how dumb do you want to make yourself look, idiot.

Funny how others are doing exactly what he did and still have nfl jobs.

If he was good enough he’d be on a roster idiot.

That's not the better question when guys are very specifically stating that even if he ever went the route he did, he still simply wouldn't be good enough for a team to sign him. That's absurd when you see some of the guys who have been signed.

If we're putting all of this aside, I've never known of anything from him to suggest he has a bad attitude.

Sure but I am asking your opinion about where he should be. NFL QBs are not robots, the locker room and the meeting room are very important so you can't make it all about his ability.

Kelly didn't trash him but some of the whispers were kaep's sullen attitude and suspect work ethic on improving his passing skills were a big part of his demise in SF. A lot of his stats were garbage time after the game was decided. He did play well against the Rams at the end of the season.

It is in the SI article it is thinly veiled where his work ethic and desire to improve are questioned

I watched that game against the bears and he was pitiful missing throws and reads etc
It looked like he was acting out on national television

Part of the knock against him is he has tremendous peaks and valleys on and off the field. Harbaugh kept a lot of that reigned in with a running game and a stellar offensive line. When that went away he struggled mightily. He channeled his frustrations into his GFs causes

So where should he be?

Wouldn't matter what the Cubans spent on education if a segment of the children learned gibberish at home and were tagged as "acting ____" if they read their school books and spoke proper spanish.

It's a lead pipe cinch that if CK ever did get back on the field, defensive players would lay down so he could rack up offense -so as to offer 'proof' that he had been unjustly blackballed...

Telling that this question wasn't answered.

Meanwhile, in a similar way, Kaepernick’s 2012 and ’13 stardom for the 49ers hid his need for similar incremental progress. During the Jim Harbaugh era in San Francisco, Kaepernick was surrounded by a running back, offensive line and defense that were among the NFL’s best, insulating him from the sorts of third-and-long situations and big deficits that once felled Tebow’s Broncos.

What those on the outside saw: Kaepernick took Alex Smith’s job in mid-2012, posted a 98.3 passer rating, had a transcendent playoff game against the Packers (263 yards passing, 181 rushing) and got the Niners to within a few yards of a championship.

He followed that with another solid season.

What those on the inside knew: Kaepernick had a long way to go, since the coaches built complexity into the option run game rather than building it into the passing game. That led to big plays on the ground, with defenses trying to catch up to coordinator Greg Roman’s run concepts, and more manageable situational football. And when defenses became more adept at stopping the option, Kaepernick’s fortunes shifted.

Another problem: Kaepernick was playing for a contender, and the best way for the Niners to keep winning was to continue using him the way they had.

By 2014 the team was 8--8 and Harbaugh was on his way out. And as the option began to yield fewer 70-yard runs and more seven-yarders across the league, teams relied on it less and less. That, in turn, meant fewer suitors for quarterbacks who once majored in it.



quote:

“It really just depends on what your personnel is,” says Kelly. “Obviously, if you have Cam or RG3 or Kap or Russell Wilson—Blaine Gabbert did a nice job for us on it last year—it’s another tool in your toolbox. It’s not something you feature all the time but it’s something you can make the defense spend more time on.”
