Well when someone makes a statement that is egregiously wrong then I will question whether or not they watch the team. Is that not fair? Like if I said that Melo was a tough nose defensive player who is a willing passer then I would expect you to question if I am watching th eKNicks at all.

I watched Kaepernick plenty. The difference between Kaep and those other guys is the offensive line, which the Niners won't likely keep together because I imagine they'll spend the money on defense.
Davis is locked up. Staley I think still has a couple more years. Iupait is in the works. Boone is signed for cheap and they have Kilgore/Snyder to step in next year at center. The line is going to be around for at least 2-3 more years. At that point, the 49ers will have other guys ready to step in like Looney and whoever they draft in the next couple of drafts. 49ers don't draft for the current year. They draft for the future. Thats why they have taken defensive lineman/running backs/wide receivers in the last couple of years. Sure, they had to take a safety with their first pick but you want your first round pick to step in immediately.
Thethe, the media will crucify RG3 as soon as they can.
How many popular black athletes are conservatives like rg3? I can't think of one.
Black guy gets rich, marries cute white girl, and is a conservative. Can't get much more Uncle Tom than that
He's a good role model for young black kids. He should be applauded for that

I won't take that angle but I do like RG3 and hope he rebounds nicely.

I'm not worried about his body type. He took a lot of hits last year and got up from them, what he needs to do this year is to be more willing to give up on play to limit the shots he takes in the pocket. I hope he keeps running, it's what helps make him so hard to defend.
If he keeps running he will get hurt even worse than last year. No QB can survive long term while running. Scrambling is one thing but a running QB will get knocked out.

I just don't agree with that. I just think he has to be smart, as much as people complain about the option he didn't get hurt while running. He got hurt because he didn't run out of bounds and slid too late. Aaron Rodgers runs and he doesn't get hurt. You just have to know when to give up on a play.
Matt, you can't compare how RG3/Kaep ran last year to what Aaron Rodgers does. Its not the same thing. Both RG3/Kaep need to stop running if they are going to survive in the NFL. Sure maybe one designed run a game and scrambles against man coverage but you can't run the read option and hope your QB is going to be healthy.

You can if you limit the hits you take.
I don't watch other QB's as much as I watched the Skins but I know what RG3 needs to improve on to stay healthy and I don't believe becoming a pocket passer is the answer.

But he is leaving himself vulnerable more often than he has to. It just takes one hit to end a season and the more you give defenses a chance to do it the more you are playing with fire.
RG3/Kaep will always scramble and have big gains on the ground. I just don't think designed runs are the way to go long term.

Hes gonna be a role model for all kids no matter the color. Every black kid who isnt a thug isnt an uncle tom
The league is setup for QB's now. Its going to be interesting watching what they do with the whole read option movement. Will the NFL allow defensive players to tee off on QB's if they don't have hte ball? Thats going to be something worth watching. That is the only way I see the read option not working. Scaring the other teams caoch to stop running it.
The read option will continue to work because it makes the game 11 vs. 11 again.

To me the read/option is for cfb and should stay in cfb. Well see what that douche chip kelly does. Guy is a slimeball. Almost on the slick pete and kiffen level.
The NFL is about doing whatever it takes to win. If the read option is successful then its going to stay. With the level of athlete that we are seeing at the QB position now, I don't think its going anywhere.
Lol. Thethe continues to prove he knows nothing about RG3.
