He wasn't blackballed, guys! Teams just totally don't want to sign him for whatever individual reason they have. Honest.

Partly explains them going all Hail Satan for Mahomes.

Betchya Alex Smith ends up on the Jaguars when he is cut by the Chiefs.

Or he'll come back to the bay and retire a 49er, after they miss out on all the good QBs in next year's draft. Probably would do well with Shanahan.

Has there been any reports saying Kaep wants starter money or are you just making poo poo up?

It's a lie, and has been denied repeatedly by several people, including Kap.

I gotta say, though, the Seahawks' reason for not signing him has so far been the "best." The Giants' reason was pretty good, but not quite to the level of Seattle's sophistry.

Edit: Did it get linked here? In case you didn't see it:

No, I blame Harbaugh for the worst loving end of game goal line play calling of all time.

So bad that Pete Carroll decided to copy it a few years later.

There needs to be a 30 for 30 on the downfall of the NFC West. Between 2012-2015 it was the best division in football with the 49ers and Seahawks set to be the next big rivalry for a decade. Now both teams have hilariously imploded partly because of what they did at the end of a Super Bowl.

It really made, and continues to make me laugh; the Seahawks, in many ways, copied the 49ers' team building to start their own ascension (they signed McCloughan right after the Niners fired him, ffs), and they seem dead set on following the exact trajectory downward as well.

Iirc, you had Colin "Peter North" Kaepernick slinging tightropes on fade routes. At least pick plays actually make sense in the endzone.

Like throwing a slant to noted route runner Ricardo Lockette? :v:

AFCWest was the best division in football in 2014 & 2015 (and 2016 and will be again in 2017...). NFCWest only had a two year overlap of good Niners and Seattle.

2014 was the year the Cardinals started to look like a juggernaut (pre Palmer injury), and the AFC West wasn't even the best division in the conference :confused:

the NFC West had 2 good teams in 2014, Cards and Seahawks. AFC West had 3, but yeah the AFC North was the best that year

Both the Cardinals and Seahawks looked like SB contenders in 2014, though (also in 2015, tbh). Wasn't that the year the Chiefs never threw a TD pass to a wideout :shrug:?

The 49ers became relevant again (however briefly) before the Raiders did, and that cannot be tolerated.

Wasn't he real bad last year though? Like skying passes over dudes heads and beaning people on the sidelines?

I dont know what kind of a contract he's expecting

Pretty sure you're thinking of the year before, when he was trying to play through shoulder injuries. Last year he was solid.

He had a few really terrible games last year (The Bears game) but he also looked like old Kaep a few times too. It didn't matter, the 49ers were so bad everyone assumes he was the problem, he wasn't really the problem.

Worth noting that the Bears game was played in the snow, and the 49ers had an absolutely horrid gameplan with no adjustments made whatsoever. If there was a game to sour you on Chip Kelly, that was it.

I am also excited to watch your team, the Titans of Tennessee, play football games in a few months. Hopefully, cheering for Mariota and Walker will distract me from the depressing sinkhole that is my team, the Nine-and-Forty of San Franciscose.

How good is your team's fanbase? Probably lovely, if you're not a fan of the NFC East or the Pats. Here, have a look.

I love this video, because he throws off his back foot in stride, doesn't follow through at all, throws it sidearm across his body to his receiver.

And it still goes 50 goddamn yards in the air.

This is why he was basically everyone's favorite player in the draft, even though no one has any clue if he'll be able to play in the NFL or not.
