Here we go. Carlos Hyde, he of 3 games of NFL experience, has called out his QB for giving the game away last week. Yeah, Kappy had the wort game of his life, but Hyde is a bit premature here in selling out his QB. After all, Kappy has been to the Super Bowl, and Hyde has one good game under his belt.
Then you have Honey Badger saying Kappy’s dumbed-down offense was easy to read and attack. Then again, if Kappy doesn’t throw off his back foot and leave those wounded ducks out there for easy pickings, then that shit doesn’t happen.
Point being, this team has a tough schedule, and even the 2 softies coming up, the Giants and Ravens, both have decent to fair QBs. At the start of the season I thought we’d be at 2-1 for the GB game, but at this point 1-3 looks like where we will be. They HAVE to take the Giants and Ravens to be even remotely considered a decent team. After that, it’s Seahawks, Rams, Falcons. 1-2? I don’t know. We do get the Browns, Lions, and Bears later, but by that point Kappy better have a handle on this offense, or we will be in full Gaine Blabbert mode.
Which is not a good scenario. If Tomsula starts playing QB roulette, then the team is in deep shit. But if Kappy keeps playing like he did last week, Tomsula will have no choice. We are back to the Harbaugh scenario of teams stopping the run, or getting so far ahead we can’t run, and putting the game in Kappy’s hands and beating us. Granted some of this has to do with a shit line, but Kappy made some terrible throws last week.
Again, the only bad game of his this year. He needs to move on and show he can play a clean game. GB is not a good team to be trying to find you way against. Although Kappy’s recent success against them must be tickling the backs of their minds a little bit.
Forty Niners Forever 
Kap in the first game looked good to adequate. Even the second game he wasn’t too bad. It’s best to just forget this last game as just one of those days where the wheels just came off. Still it was just ONE game! Now if his poor performances continue then events will have forced the issue of his status with the team. Projecting too far into the future is just a futile exercise at best.
Before everyone jumps off the ledge:
Anyone here think Andrew Luck sucks?
Rob, I am a Christian with manors and never use foul language to get my point across. I think you need to speak to 12th man and his snippy attitude, he’s obviously frustrated about being wrong again. The truth is Seattle’s defense exposed Kaepernick a long time ago and his little charade is over. The media who worshiped him is now nowhere to be found and all are left are a few fans holding on to a thin string of hope. With pressure regardless of Kurt Warner’s help what we got is an erratic, flustered, wholly ineffective quarterback end of story. You heard Gruden last night about Rodgers he’s like Montana surveying the football field he’s unstoppable. I know Rodgers type QB do not grow on trees but it’s time for us to stop fooling around and we need to get serious and find one of our own.
If we had an ownership who cared that’s exactly what would happen. Especially when it comes to the serious goals of teams in our division to win. No longer can the York’s just blend in and hope no one notices. Right now we’re the best division in football and with that the York’s will be exposed even more if a drastic change in character and leadership is not made. Tomsula needs to be removed right away and we need a real Head Coach, sorry but I must admit Harbaugh is surely missed because all he was missing was a QB. His problem was he was forced to deal with a first round bust and didn’t choose wisely when it came to class and character when drafting a QB.
Where were you after the Monday night game asshole?
You have Manors huh?
Fuck off.
It must be lunch time at the “home” about now. What’s for today, chicken shit salad on a bun?
Monday night’s game when we played a nobody with a weak defense and an ineffective QB? What’s that have to do with Manors? Since Kaepernick was drafted I never like him not for one minute. He never fit the profile of a prolific quarterback and certainly never belonged here in a place where players with great character such as Joe Montana and Steve Young took the field. As far as our new head coach the first site of Tomsula on the sidelines I knew we were doomed. Please don’t tell me you actually thought we could still win? LOL!!!
How do you classify us fans as haters? What because we will not be happy until a Rodgers or Wilson type QB are finally here where they belong? Or how we will not be satisfied until they hire a head coach with a great mind and who will really restore the WCO in a place it shouldn’t have left in the first place. If the organization that we love no longer holds standards what’s wrong with a few fans that still do? I would rather you just say thank you instead of calling us names.
Don’t forget the fruit cup.
And who’s ‘us?’
No CHUCK
What’s going to be on the packer’s minds is the same thing Arizona was thinking.
Bigtime payback
You got that right, no love lost there. The wheels have fallen off, it’s not so much the prior games but the team has way to much bullshit floating around it. It will only get worse which means that maybe a plan will be put into place a little sooner.
“Own it, fix it, move on”………
Well, yeah. That’s what I said ROB!!! What has to be on their minds though is how Kappy single-handedly beat their asses in those playoff games.
Minnesota is 2-1. they’ve beaten San Diego and Detroit. Detroit was a playoff team last year, and San Diego has been there as well. So that’s bullshit. This isn’t a must-win situation, but it is a game that Kappy can’t become the reason for the loss.
Manors and escaped goats. Your shit is funny as fuck, V. You’ve never met a metaphor you haven’t mangled. You never fail to disappoint. But ramble away.
And what the fuck is going on with Shareece Wright? Our corners are struggling big time and they inactive him? I profess to not know anything about him in practice, and he’s never been that highly rated anyway, but stashing him on the inactive list is beyond weird.
Mainly because he now wants out.
Fuck sharece wright he fucking sucks
Hey maybe we should trade him to Green bay
Lol
Works for me, but why did we spend $3 mill on him? I know he isn’t rated high, but we haven’t exactly been covering anyone at all lately.
CHUCK
IMO we got wright as vet insurance in case Johnson and acker weren’t ready.
Well wright didn’t pan out but DJ and acker have. The 3 mil is squat .
It’s a one year deal so NP
I’m glad we have the young guys because it frees up more cap room for us
Look at the bright side Jed….
Now there’s a lawsuit pending to break up the monotony.

This team isn’t going to the playoffs. It’s lost way too many contributors, and replaced them with lesser quality. And, the OL pretty much sucks. Kap isn’t going to be the answer this season, or any other. His flaws are there for all to see. He was OK when the team had a top tier defense, he was allowed to run wild, and the run game could keep his passing deficiencies obscured. That’s gone now. Niners need to draft a QB this next draft, and a couple of OLmen. It’s going to take a couple of years to get back to being competitive for the playoffs. I’m not confident Prince Jed and Baalke can find the next Harbaugh, or are willing to look. Why Baalke drafted a project DLman in the first round is beyond me…
Snarkk it’s looking bleak at the moment.
I see it this way.
Baalke needed Harbaugh to transition us from Alex and, provide more Offense.
He likely sought input on who would replace Alex.
Kaep is/was Harbaugh’s guy and he simply hasn’t transitioned from Pistol to Pocket at this point.
I’m beginning to think there was enough friction created between Harbaugh/Roman/Chryst and Baalke over this situation that it may have divided them.
For all the talk of Harbaugh calling the plays in practice, it may suggest that Kaep just wasn’t developing quickly enough to assume those responsibilities?
Baalke is more proficient with Defensive selections IMO.
He needed a guy like Harbaugh to take the Offense to the next level.
If Kaep can’t handle the Pocket game, see and read Defensive coverage etc, it’s not looking too promising going forward.
Having blown up the Staff, and dealing with unexpected retirements, we are where we are right now.
The QB has to make it go.
Baalke added Boldin and Torrey, 2 SB winning WRs and, they aren’t seeing the ball with any regularity.
Sure, the OL is in shambles but, there wasn’t any pressure involved on Sunday in AZ with the 2 early pick 6’s.
Kaep simply seems to be running plays without seeing the Defense.
Simplifying the system might suggest that they have to remake him in the Logan mold now?
How long can we afford to wait is the question.
Arik Armstead seemed like a logical selection to replace the loss of Justin.
As with any Rookie, he’ll need at least a year to acclimate and find his game.
Again, if Kaep can’t make it go, teams are going to continue exploiting our passing weaknesses and focus on blowing up the running game.
Coaches have to find some balance that works.
timtebo, you made your points, fine. They are not original. All you’re really doing is parroting what you’ve heard elsewhere and passing it off as your own here. Do you honestly think Jed York does not care about the team’s success on the field? Really? Just so he can continue to collect money from the hapless fan base?
That argument is inherently flawed, because if he doesn’t put a winning team on the field eventually, those same fans and their money are going to stop going to the games. It just doesn’t pass the smell test. Kaepernick is no Aaron Rodgers and never will be, but he’s the QB right now, so you’d better get used to it. York only maximizes his status as an owner if the team is winning. No other way.
And not gving Tomsula more than 3 games before declaring him no good is stupid. Bill Walsh was 2-14, 6-10, 6-10 in the 3 seasons before the Niners won it all in ’81. You have to give the guy a chance, especially considering that he inherited a team that was decimated by departures on both sides of the ball.
You claim to be a Christian, but your posts are full of sarcasm and vitriol. Not very Jesus-like if you ask me, foul language or not.
So, to quote 12th man, fuck off.
John, Tim is an old nemesis (flying V) from the old days when a lot of the folks here blogged on the Niner Insider.
It’s best to just point and laugh. He’s been saying the same shit over and over for going on 9 years.
I’ll say it again, but this AZ game was on Kappy. The Pittsburgh game was squarely on the defense.
One bad game and folks are tossing him under the bus. He hasn’t been spectacular so far, but he, along with the rest of the offense is learning a new system. Like I said he has to play a better game. Then again so does EVERYONE else.
All this talk of Harbaugh masking Kaepernick’s deficiencies is a load of bullshit. No one was complaining when Kappy brought the team back from 17 down in Atlanta. Or from 21 down in the Super Bow l(almost). Or beat GB on that freezing night a couple years ago.
And I agree with NJ’s point above, the Niners need to start making plans to acquire a new QB. I like to think they’ll bounce back after two disasterous games, but if they don’t and end up with 2-3 wins for the year, drafting a top-flight QB should be the priority. Like I said after the game Sunday, I’m losing confidence in Kap and that’s a first for me. I genuinely believed he could be a great quarterback, but he continues to make one step forward and two steps back. I continue to hold out hope that the lessons he’s learned and the tireless work he’s put in will pay off this season.
The guy can be surly at times, but no one can say that he hasn’t worked his ass off to get better. Playing QB in the NFL may well be the most difficult job in all of sports. There’s no shame in not becoming great.
There’s 3 things you don’t win without in the NFL; a top-notch QB and great lines on both sides of the ball.
Well one thing for sure this week is rip Kap week. He’s getting ripped by everyone in the media. Some critics are suggesting the Niners must move on and make changes. Of course on the “other” blog they woke up early before the crack of dawn to rip, rip, rip Jed York, the HC, Baalke and whoever else is alive and breathing.
Yeah, they do need to make contingencies for Kappy not progressing or getting back to where he was. I ain’t ready to sell the season down the river, but they have a fairly rough schedule. As I said, Kappy has to be able to keep the team in games rather than give them away. Then again, this last one was all him.
Goff looks like the real deal. Maybe this time the Niners won’t ignore the guy from Cal. . . .
Luker John, you too need to use foul language to get your point across? In an intelligent argument, it doesn’t sound professional. Reverting to name-calling however, is useless and suggests you yourself have resorted to a lower standard because you have nothing else to argue by, as well as that you have become defensive and clearly find your opponents argument valid.
Original? I’ve been calling out the York’s since they took over when the rest of you believed you actually still had a fighting chance to win. Oh sure now that the cat is out of the bag and the York’s are clearly exposed it’s easy to jump on the band wagon like the members of Skeebers Blog now do but where were they when Erickson and the rest were hired and I found myself alone battling the one who still believed.
Tell me where’s the flaw here when talking about Jed York? Just recently he sat us through years of the Alex Smith debacle because he simply couldn’t admit he made a mistake. He even made Harbaugh deal with him when with any decent QB we would’ve won at least two Super Bowls with our great defense in tact. Would Eddie or Mr. Kraft stay complacent like that? Would Eddie or Mr. Kraft simply elevate nobody’s like Singletary and Tomsula without winning credentials just to quickly fill a void? Wouldn’t you think these men would’ve put a wining thought into finding and hiring the best minds in the business that would give you the best chance at success? One would think a little process would’ve taken place, right? Would Eddie or Mr. Kraft have Kaepernick as their Quarterback? The answer is no to all so your flaw suggestion has no merit.
Do you really need to give Tomsula a few years? Just one look and I knew it was over. Your Walsh comparison is what’s really flawed when Walsh actually came equipped with winning credentials and Singletary and Tomsula had none. Winners put the right people in place to give the team the fighting chance at success, losers just hire anyone to make them a pond and stay complacent with who they got.
Last night at bible study we all prayed that the York’s would correct their evil and deceitful ways. When our leader finished our prayer session by saying, “There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked who prey on the weak”
For lunch I heard you got pot roast and mashed potatoes and gravy. Damn you have it made!
One foul word. To make a point. I’ve been warned about you, so consider this our last exchange.
The “other” blog is ready to throw in the towel and prepare for a high draft pick. To call them “defeatists” is an understatement.
V, until you understand that Eddie is the reason that the team is in this particular mess, then you are nothing but a flaming idiot who does not understand anything about the team and its history.
All this Eddie love is fine. When he had a blank check to run the team he and jerry jones ruled the roost. Because of their free-spending ways, the NFL instituted a salary cap.
He was not good once plan B free agency came around and he Policy and Clark backloaded deals. Eddie got busted in an FBI sting while Policy and Clark hit the road to fuck over Cleveland. Even f Eddie survived the sting, it would be hard to imagine how he would have run things. Better than this? Probably, but he got busted and had to sell.
That was domino one that leads directly to today. Read it, remember it, and FUCK OFF.
Chuck the point I attempted to convey with Harbaugh and Roman masking Kaeps deficiencies simply meant, that he wasn’t asked to do much in terms of reading coverages.
They utilized his running skills and simplified the reads for him.
They had an unknown commodity that took opponents time to dissect and minimize.
What we’re seeing now, several years into his development, and another Staff surrounding him, is that he’s not much further along in terms of talent.
He worked with Warner of course, which has shown a glimmer or 2 of improvement.
For me, it comes back to the mechanics, footwork and vision needed to master the position.
He’s not comfortable standing still. He’s staring down targets. He’s not throwing guys open. He’s still lacking appropriate touch.
We’re at the Mendoza line of trying to determine if he can cut it IMO.
Love his ceiling. Just can’t understand why so many of the fundamentals are still lacking.
Comcast reported at 6:30 that the 49ers are rated as the worst O-line in the league for protection. You are going teacheristic Democrat again. Teachers often teach what they are told to teach while not having a mind of their own but they will plant seeds to sell their agenda. It is exactly why we need vouchers in this country. So parents can choose to have their children not taught by those teachers. Me, I can just stay away from the cancer being sold here. And I will. Think about I instead of getting defensive.
Some of the play calling is curious but when then line is bad play book has to be dummied down. I would relax about Kap. He had a stinker but except for this game he has been OK I say when the O-line gets better Kap will magically get better too. I remember Brady being so bad vs KC last year when under a lot of pressure he was pulled out the game. I would worry more about the O-line and pass coverage than Kap. In the mean time, this place is giving me cancer, I’m out.
Teacheristic Democrat again Berger?
You’re nothing if not original.
I watch, I analyze, I critique.
It’s a given the OLine is a hot mess right now.
What I’m not seeing is Kaep using his eyes or, throwing like a rag doll lately.
He looks completely disorganized from a mechanics perspective.
Footwork, arm and body angles, you name it.
He had NO pressure to deal with in AZ on the first 2 pick 6’s
He’s got me asking WTF is going on between his ears.
This place is giving you cancer Berger?
I’m with you, Kap stunk it up for one game.
There is no better QB on the team and I’m far from sold that Kap can’t cut it.
Took Steve Young a good while how to figure out the best way to balance his natural tendencies with that of a traditional pocket passer, yet Kap is slammed and as good as gone because of one shitty outing if I listen to the general fan consensus.
Andrew Luck is the worst QB in the league statistically, which goes to prove the point about stats over the bigger picture.
IMO they need to change the O line lineup and find a way to get pressure on the QB. Mangina needs to do a better job and quickly. The back 4 will look a lot better with some real pressure up front as will the QB behind a reasonable O line that can pass pro and road grade.
12th-You are making sense. QBs don’t play well when under lot of pressure. Look at Andrew Luck. According to CSNBA Kap is the most pressured QB in the league. That says it all. There are too many people who can’t see what is happening. They call it as they see it but they don’t see it as it is. They should read what you are posting and get a clue. It is waste of time to read the constant Kap bashing until the line gets fixed.
I think it’s pathetic that anyone would pray for something as avocational as football. Try focusing your energies on the real issues in the world.
I like how Rodgers is sticking to Wilson over the God favoritism stuff.
Why is it no one can blame the person responsible? It’s really laughable when it was never Alex Smith’s fault it was always his line, receivers, coaches blah blah blah. It’s never Kaepernick’s fault it’s the line, new coaches, blah blah blah. Has the public become really this dumb? This is just like politics no ones held responsible anymore, wake up people!
Now it’s Eddie’s fault he twisted his sister, brother n law and nephew’s hands to make sure they didn’t spend the money needed to put the best product on the football field. Yeah Eddie personally destroyed football because he wanted to spend what ever it took to win, lol! Yeah he personally sent a letter to Tagliabue telling him he had enough championships and he would like to now give Georgia’s and her Rams a chance to win. He just loved parity so much and because the rest of the league refused to keep up with building dominant football teams like him he’s to blame.
Remember: Do not be deceived, bad company ruins good morals. It’s every man’s duty not to be fooled, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
Can we finally chill with all this hostility? I love all of you.
You really can’t take a hint can you. Nobody reads your blather with a view to conversing with you. Your bias is ridiculous as is your agenda. Why people like you keep trying is a mystery to me, does rejection get you off somehow.
Nobody respects your opinion, ever.
You’re an uneducated cesspit, a simpleton, an ignoramous.
Fuck off.
This is from a reporter exchange with Kap:
Head coach Jim Tomsula said after the first couple of interceptions in the first quarter they decided to run the ball a little more and tried to slow the pace a little bit. In your own head, did you get a little gun-shy at all? As the game progressed, it seemed like maybe some of the throws had a little less velocity than you normally have.
“No, that’s something that I’ve worked on, as far as being able to throw catchable balls to our receivers. So, it wasn’t something that they did to take velocity off my passes. That was something that I’ve consciously worked on.”
I made this point earlier. Kap looked like he was trying to throw the ball softer. He needed to throw it earlier at that velocity. Before it would have been on a rope and the defender likely wouldn’t have got there to make the pick.
He is trying to incorporate new techniques at the same time as being under siege from the D and in real time trying to make good decisions. Call these excuses if you wish, but to me watching it all live, he looked much less instinctual than I have seen him before.
Berger is right. Get the O line to at least average and Kap will do much better. Until that happens, if I was the coach, I would tell him to set aside the idea of pocket passing (what pocket?), and trying to throw the catchable ball, and instead just go do your thing.
Too any variables all at one time.
Against the Vikes he mostly had time and the results speak for themselves. Since then he has very little time and again, the results speak for themselves.
If bergs ain’t blaming someone else else for his problems, he isn’t fully engaged.
Read the thread Hergs.. I said CK had a bad game. No need to throw Kappy out with the bath water. My point is he needs to play a solid game going forward. He can’t be part of the problem because the defense is flat terrible now. No pressure and we can’t track WRs to save our lives. 8 guys drop into coverage and Fitzgerald is alone with the closest guy 10 yards away. He was covered by linebackers more often than not.
That can’t happen. We are getting shredded throught the air. I’d rather see us blitz and force the.ball out faster than drop 8 and watch the QB of the week hit every pass with 5+ seconds to get the ball out.
Last week they dropped the DB’s back to make sure they didn’t get beat deep again, but it left an area about 12 yds from LOS kind of open and the LB and safeties both had some responsibility to cover whoever was there. The strategy worked regarding not getting beat deep but failed badly in stopping the O moving the chains.
Mangina never seemed o adjust to what was happening.
Hellooo there
Sup?
Kap has been pressured on 43% of his snaps this year That leads the league.
You can’t blame Kap for that .
Last year he was one of the most sacked QB’s
Nobody would look good or get better under these circumstances
Chuck my posts aren’t showing up
You’re right.
Hang on…
