Despite what has been said by Kyle Shanahan, you really have to wonder what the 49ers are going to do about the quarterback situation. I mean really, short of blowing up this year’s draft for Cousins (fairly inconsistent) or Garoppolo (unproven), it would be tantamount to going all-in this year to make a playoff or bust run to get either of those guys. With all the needs of the team, this isn’t warranted, or even smart, strategy.
Really, even if the team somehow makes it to the playoffs this year, they wouldn’t get past the WC round. So, making a big QB splash at this point would do more damage to the long-term future of the team. So, what should they do? We[ve gone over this a few times, and there really isn’t a lot of wheat to choose from amid all the chaff.
Cutler? No.
Fitzpatrick? No.
Hoyer? Meh. Possible.
Schaub? Sure, he knows Shanny. Possible.
The rest are dog meat.
Then there is the curious case of Colin Kaepernick. There’s floaters out there saying cut and re-sign him on the cheap and see what happens. Seeing as this season will be a long and likely painful one as well, hey, why not? Kappy may try to get a decent season under his belt to bolster his status in the NFL. The talk is there’s no interest, but I thinks that bullshit as if you watched the NFL last year, you saw a lot of QBs playing like shit. Kaepernick had zero help on either side of the ball and in the coaching staff, so there are certainly coaches out there that think they can get more out of him. I still feel that Denver is in his future. Barring that, the Jets.
Will it come to pass that Kappy stays here? More than likely not. In fact what I see happening is that the 49ers get Schaub, keep Ponder, and take a shot in the later rounds for someone like the Western Michigan guy Zack Terrell.
Forty Niners Forever 
Kap says he won’t do his protest this year. Nice, he can make a laughing stock of the Niners but now that his next contract is a big question mark he can set aside his moral outrage at injustice. Fucking hypocrite.
I bet he gets some backlash from the blm people. Good riddance, take your clown show somewhere else.
seconded.
Shit, Kappy got Jed and others to pony up money so in my eyes he did some good.
As for the hooraw around his kneeling, meh. Being free means being free to do the unpopular thing.
But whatever. Come on down Brian Hoyer. Or Matt (Earl) Schaub . . .
Apparently BakkenBuwwitt is smoking the koolaid. He seems top think we can get a #1 pick for Blaine Gabbert. And then he poo poos it. And he thinks we should go after Josh (dude, where’s my car?) Gordon.
Right. The guy isn’t even reinstated. Might as well go after Aldon Smith for good measure. Jesus.
You know Gordon really hasn’t done anything wrong, he just likes his weed. He doesn’t go around hurting people, beating up girls or carrying firearms. After all this time I’m not sure he could play any longer. But, if the league reinstates him and he checks out ok I would consider taking a flyer on him. Maybe he’s figured it out and would play for Lynch and Shanny. The dude did have all pro talent and we need some game changing WR’s..
Lets face it Kap’s agents just want him marketable so no more knee shit. It’s just reality. As for me I never gave a hoot about the anthem or the knee bs. I only cared about Kaps ability to lead the team. After the Harbaugh years he was an inferior player for the Niners. He just underperformed plain and simple. In other words, he was just lousy as a QB. He was only at his best on one knee. After that it was all downhill. HA!
I don’t know about Gordon, I mean he’s had 5 opportunities to figure out how not to get caught, but still gets caught.
Stupidity isn’t a virtue.
We are going after Spitty’s guy, Alshon Jeffery. Works for me. Says he wants to sign with a contender though. Keep the faith, Alshon!
Until the league reinstates Gordon, he’s a mirage. As far as pot goes, the league’s stance is ridiculous.
“Here, fellas. Take 5,000 Percodans. Steroids? HGH? No prob. Get hooked and fucked up just to stay in the game.”
“Pot?!?!?!?! Suspended forever!!!”
