One more Chip, still 5 rings: Official 49ers 2016 Offseason Thread

[Disgustya Stallone]

Him throwing balls in the dirt, not finding wide open WR's and not being able to put any touch on a ball had nothing to do with plays getting called in.

This is a player who straight up admits he doesn't think throwing mechanics are that important, that tells you all you need to know about his struggles.

While you are correct, those things sure didn't help him, he sucked this year more than any other and he didn't have those 12 different people calling plays.

his words were taken out if context

actions speak louder than words, if you truly believe he believes that why did he spend time with Kurt Warner this last off season?

and as far as his performance he was still a better QB according to qbr, which I explained to you before in this thread

look, everyone has a bad year, new coach, new scheme, and injuries contributed to his performance but for chrissake he took us to an NFC champ game and 5 yards from winning a superbowl

he deserves another shot

He can work on a lot of other things with Warner, i don't think Warner is some mechanics coach.

I don't think he deserves another shot because he is not worth his value. Like I said, take his 14m a year, split it and give it to two other postion players, and insert Gabbert and tell me the team isn't better.

The team already played better under Gabbert this season, more wins, more ppg, more passing yards.

And i`m not even for Gabbert like that, i`m for not paying 14m for a guy i`m certain isn't a franchise QB, i`m for paying a guy 2m who can do the job better than t he 14 m option, and looking for a real franchise QB elsewhere, whether it be 2016 draft or 2017 draft.

Give me two of these, 7m WR,,OL,LB,CB, DL and let Kaep go, and i`m certain this team is better.

Kaep should have been able to rise above the injuries, bad coaching, worst in the league oline and lack of talent on the field. He should have risen above that!!!

On a serious note, working with Kurt Warner and trying to change his throwing motion is looking like a mistake. Folk need to stop making him a pocket passer. Shoulda probably worked with Garcia instead. Kurt was a statue, I don't see how he could help Kaep.

 

[JLova]

nah he regressed under harbs cuZ 12 different people called plays, and had to go through 12 different approval's before finally getting the play out to my nikka kaep

you dont remember all them delay of games we used to get?

love my n*gga harbs but towards the end he was tryna get a bit too sophisticated in play calling

Kaep had a top 10 QB rating through the midpoint of last season and was poised for close to 30 TDs and 4000 yards passing. He had about 4 bad games and from that point, people wanted to get rid of him. The same dumb group that wanted to get rid of Harbaugh and pined so hard for Tomsula. The same group that supported Jed 100%. The same group that thought the line was good enough, VD was the same player and Torrey was a #1 receiver. The group that thought it was Kaep that was the single problem why the offense sucked. Looks like it was more than that and as I said, Kaep's play was just a symptom of a lack of talent and coaching.

But those same idiots believe Russ is a black version of Alex Smith.

It's not a forgone conclusion the raiders are moving, the rams have the most solid plan but weak backing from the owners. Secondly, Seattle would be the team to move to the AFC if the chargers come to the NFC as that's where they started

That's what I thought too, but apparently the Hawks and Niners would stay put Ave either the Rams or Cards would move.

If Chargers and Raiders share stadium, one would likely move to NFC

Per the same league source who told PFT in October that the NFL intends to return to L.A. within 12-24 months, a shared stadium by the Chargers and Raiders means that one of the teams likely would move to the NFC.

The current thinking is that the Raiders would be the most likely of the two to leave for the NFC West. The question then becomes which of the NFC West teams would move to the AFC West.

The Seahawks belonged to the AFC West from 1977 through 2001, but the early rumor/expectation is that the Rams or Cardinals would change conferences, with the Seahawks and 49ers staying put.

That still seems like lip service to me, no way in hell the raiders move to the NFC, their history is way more important than the chargers, you don't just shift that. Plus the preseason game between us and them was canceled for a few years because of the violence between the fans, they're not making it so our teams play twice a year.

The chargers being in the middle of the move is weird and random. They have no roots or history with LA and no large fan base or history other than choking in the playoffs as the favorites. Plus I doubt LA residents would root for a San Diego team. It just doesn't make sense for the Chargers to move.

The raiders volunteered to move.

Mark Davis values the money a new stadium can be more than tradition.

NaVorro Bowman named All-Pro in comeback season

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- NaVorro Bowman's comeback from his gruesome left knee injury suffered in the NFC title game in January 2014 reached a crescendo Friday as the San Francisco 49ers inside linebacker was named first-team All Pro by the Associated Press.

The Carolina Panthers' Luke Kuechly was the other first-team inside linebacker while the Seattle Seahawks' Bobby Wagner and the Kansas City Chiefs' Derrick Johnson were named second-team All-Pro at inside linebacker.

Bowman, 27, led the NFL with 154 tackles, ahead of Indianapolis Colts linebacker D'Qwell Jackson (150), Tampa Bay Buccaneerslinebacker Lavonte David (147), Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (135) and Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Paul Posluszny(133).

After the Niners’ season finale, a 19-16 overtime victory against the St. Louis Rams, Bowman was asked to reflect on his comeback season and how much it meant to still play at a high level.

“It meant a lot,” he said. “To get out there and move the way I was moving prior to the injury and receive the respect I’ve received from players throughout the league continued to motivate me and drive me. I didn’t get down on the missed tackles that I made. I had several missed tackles this year where I felt I could have made them but I didn’t.

"Guys were still pushing me and saying that I was doing a good job. All of those things continue to drive me to fight throughout the year.”

There were times where Bowman appeared to miss his lateral speed and movement, but they were steps that precious few other NFL linebackers possessed in the first place.

Bowman, who should be a top contender for the NFL's comeback player of the year award with Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Eric Berry and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer, also had 2½ sacks with a forced fumble and two passes defensed.

“Probably since Week 8 I’ve put the pressure on myself to go into this offseason and get back to the form I was once at,” he said, “and this body will be put through a tremendous workout every single day.”

Bowman led the league in tackles, and missed plenty of tackles he should have made, he's knocked the rust off and is still at the top of the league, next year...

People seem to forget there was a reason why the raiders and Rams left

La is a terrible football town

Everybody seems to be over looking this fact

Didn't the raiders leave because they couldn't get funding from the city for a stadium at one specific location?

I think the raiders would work for LA. I still see a lot of ppl wearing raiders gear when I'm in LA. Plus there would be less traffic in the bay on Sunday

Some sources said they expect the 49ers to have a new coach early next week. Jackson and Chip Kelly, whom general manager Trent Baalke and CEO Jed York interviewed on Thursday, appear to be the top two candidates. Anthony Lynn had a good interview, according to sources, and the 49ers would like to speak with Dirk Koetter, too.


Kaepernick’s scheduled pay of $13.4 million is not as steep as it sounds. The 49ers received an approximate $3 million credit on his 2015 pay after he went on injured reserve in November. The 49ers also have tons of available salary-cap space. The 49ers own Kaepernick's rights, of course, and the new coach will ultimately make that call.

Kaepernick's relationship with the 49ers front office, including general manager Trent Baalke, appears to be fractured. But this is all about the new coach and Kaepernick. A source said the 49ers are leaving the door open for Kaepernick's return, but he would have to “rebuild relationships in the locker room.:

We need to hit this hire right and let the next head coach cook for at least 5 years I'm tired of the coaching carousel the NFL has become 2-3 years you out the door how do you implement your system or get players for your system in that time frame.
