I’m not sure what Harbaugh is worried about. The dude looks like he has the type of build that will always be lean and lanky and athletic. I can’t see the guy ever getting too muscle-bound in just one offseason. Fuck, he looks pretty lanky as it is and he weighs about 235. The guy is just plain built. Probably one of the most athletically-gifted players the league has ever seen, with the sort of size and build that makes him THE prototypical 21st century quarterback, in my opinion.
And I’m trying to be objective, too. From a purely physical standpoint, I can’t imagine asking for anything else out of a QB these days. Arguably the best arm in the game, top-notch speed that translates well with pads on, great upper-body that looks like it can handle some big hits, legs that are built for deceptive speed and really quick, nimble feet that allow him to move in the pocket well. Extremely intelligent brain inside that head of his, too.
Yeah, Harbaugh is a little nuts with this one. I think he just knows that what really separates Kaepernick, physically, from every other good-running quarterback (other than his superior size) is his unparalleled arm. I’ve heard people say that Flacco has the strongest arm in the NFL but I’m just not buying it. Kaepernick seems to make these throws way downfield that never get more than about 8 or 9 feet off the ground and yet, they travel about 40 yards or so and still have good velocity on them when they reach their target. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a QB make such accurate downfield throws with such little air underneath them, and that includes Elway and Favre. I really think his arm will be in that sort of company when all is said and done. Harbaugh seems to be stuck in the old school and is worried that too much lifting will weaken the arm strength through decreased range of motion or something.
Oh well, that’s why he’s a head coach and not a strength and conditioning coach. I’m sure whatever Kaepernick is doing is geared more towards explosiveness and speed rather than adding size.

It sounded like Harbaugh has a solid grasp on it given that he specifically mentioned upper body strength and apparently flexed his chest in the gesture he gave. Also, gaining muscle does at some point slow you down, fuck with your agility, and mess with your conditioning; there’s a reason the dudes who run 4.2s and 4.3s are small guys, with the extremely rare occasional freak like Megatron(and Johnson isn’t exactly built like Laron Landry).

I would be more concerned with a training injury than becoming muscle bound. It’s pretty hard to become muscle bound when you’re running and throwing with regularity.

Exactly my point. As long as you continually adapt to your new strength/muscle gains by throwing the ball, running, and doing whatever football drills you need to do, you will be fine.

Ravens got lucky here with the fuck-up by Dumervil’s agent. It would take something like $75 mil to keep both Kruger and Ellerbe and they are not worth that much… now they are looking a lot better at the LB position and the defense as a whole. Dumervil, Ngata, Suggs, Spears, Canty…
Ravens just put in a cheat code on that.

How many of you guys think it’s Tony Romo or some other Cowgirl?

I’m saying it has to be a high profile, established star.
So Romo, or any cowboy other than Ware is out of the question.
My money is on Brady, lol.

Lol, your hate is showing DB
Romo is married with a kid, Ware is married and actually adopted a Chinese baby years ago.
Since everyone knows half of San Fran is Ghey I am sure its a 49r

I’ll bet you an avatar for one month that the player is from a team that plays below the Mason-Dixon Line.
I just hope that the player who does come out is truly elite. Then he can flip a big FU and tear it up on the field…and tear something else up off the field.
