Still mad about my team beating your team in Atlanta?
But hey, everything you can put on this forum would be true cuz my team lost.[/quote]
Yep. It was revenge for me and Alex Smith.
Believe it or not, I have kept the faith for the 49er’s throughout the last 5 years. The dicking of Alex Smith had me write them off. From that point on I wanted them to lose. Sure Kaepernick may be more talented, but he’s not better. He’s not better than a guy who spent his years there hated, put in a failing system, then over come all of it, only to be totally dicked because he got a concussion. After that, I was in ‘fuck’em’ mode. You don’t treat people like that.
So fuck’em. They got Flacco’d, a real QB who’s been through the trenches.
Kaepernick wasn’t nervous. He should have been, little arrogant ass.[/quote]
So you want Kaepernick to be nervous like Matt Ryan in your past playoff games?
I know you’re mad at the coach, but it’s time to let it go. Alex Smith will soon be with another team trying to get them to the playoffs. I say, good luck. He deserves it.[/quote]
What?
No. Kaepernick says he wasn’t nervous about the game because he was prepared. He was wrong, he was not prepared. That’s the youth and inexperience talking. Vet’s know you’re never prepared enough and had to humility to admit they were nervous about the game because anything can and does happen.
And Matt Ryan out played Kap in that game, period. There were plenty of bad or no calls, which you did not see me bitch about. Like Bowman’s blatant pass interference on White. Not to mention several missed holding calls, another blatant missed pass interference on Jones, where his arms were actually held back, horrific ball spotting…On and on I could go.
Ultimately it was a weak dline requiring the secondary to play in more that cost us the game. Kap was regular in that game, just a manager did some good things, but not spectacular. But we’re not talking about that game.
If I had a choice between Ryan and Kaepernick to lead my team for the next 10 years I’ll take Ryan hands down. Kap is just a baby and we don’t know how he will be when his legs are no longer a factor in the game, which should be 5 years or less, which is average for that style of play. We also don’t know how he handle adversity, unless of course you think he will never have any which is not realistic. Couple of key injuries on that very good o-line and it’s a whole other ball game at the QB position. We know Smith can handle it, we know Ryan can handle it, we have no clue if Kaepernick can handle it.
If it were not for a very timely black out, the niners would have flat been embarrassed. The defense was worn down and had a chance to catch their breath and regroup. Flacco showed Kaepernick what a real QB looks like.

My bad, I thought you meant you think Kaperncik should be nervous for the Super Bowl.
I did say Baltimore would have rolled for more points if there wasn’t a blackout.
You sound like you really hate Kaepernick. It should be Harbaugh you should be mad at.[/quote]
Eh, I don’t love or hate Kaepernick. I just think he is an infant in the league and crowning him the ‘best ever’ as some people have is just a hair premature. I want to see the ebbs and flows of a full 16 game season under his belt. Can he stay healthy? Can the big 3 runners adjust once defenses adjust to them? There was already non-sense on ESPN about him going to he Hall of Fame. Come on, really? He may, but we’re going to need 5 more years before we have any idea about stuff like that.
You certainly cannot claim that Kaepernick is either better or more talented that Cam Newton, yet Cam had a Sophomore slump. The league adjusted and he couldn’t for a while. With the rebirth of the options and pistol, you can bet defenses will be ready next year for it. What then? That’s the thing. You can always take the league by storm with something new for 1 year. After the new wears off, that’s where greatness is defined, by adjustments.
