    I think we need to either take "actively" out of the title or add a question mark ... or both.

    Substitute "passively"???

    "Foolishly" perhaps. Or, "Browns helping 49ers put the screw to the Broncos"

    What were these surgeries that CK underwent? How serious...and to what body parts?

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14518735/colin-kaepernick-san-francisco-49ers-undergoes-surgery-right-thumb-left-knee

    Ligament repair, throwing thumb. Undisclosed left knee surgery. Left shoulder previously operated on, (Checked in Vail where he had the other two procedures done earlier this year.) Also has a stabilizing rod in one of his legs (Shades of Tony Romo's shoulder.)

    I'm agreeing with Pluto. Steer clear, or only offer a low pick- preferably fifth round. The problem is if we bring him in as a starter- and he gets hurt- the rest of the contract is fully guaranteed- around $60 million bucks, if Sprotrac is right. I'm not going for that.

    Maybe the 49ers will figure based on Osweiler's $18 million this year, Kap's $13 million is cheap by comparison.

  • More reasons to take Ramsey @2. We all know what the shitsburg have at WR. Baltimore just picked up Mike Wallace with Smith Sr. coming back & Weddle may not cover them all but sure the shit will hit them. Cinn. re-signs all their DB's to cover such WR's & surely will address WR's with Eifert only target. Hue needs to get off this Kap deal & go back to plan A--Wentz or Goff or plan B --Ramsey if he see's Cook, Hackenberg, C.Jones in his pro style offense.

    Lots of talk in Frisco that he pussied out last year. Maybe he had an addadicktome surgery too. Whether the Browns get him or not, I don't see the other 2 former picked QBs staying around long.

    Per Hoorta it looks like he did have some actual, fairly serious issues. Enough to give one pause.

  • For my own childish reason, I hope he ends up in Dallas. Then he can be known as, Colon Cowboy!

    Ok.

    Kaepernick is a read option qb. If you want a read option offense he's a good one otherwise he's average at best but can only understand basic pass routes from the wr's. He did well learning when Harbaugh was the HC and the reason is because of the read option plus they could run the ball as well then.

    This. Kap can't run a pro style offense. Such a waste of our resources and time unless we want to totally convert to a read option type of offense... which was big in 2012 but these days DC's have taken the bite out of that system in a big way. Gimmicky offenses never have longevity. Kaepernick is one stop away from being a journeyman back up and I'm really not interested in us being his last starting gig that he face plants in. Kap can fuck right off, he's not the solution for us.

    He needs to be on a team like the Broncos where he can be a game manager and has plenty of talent to minimize his role and bail him out. If he comes to Cleveland he has to be able be "the guy" and it's not going to end well for him.

  • Shaw and Davis are the other qbs picked by farmer. I think they might be gone by tc. Package Davis and Blowme in a deal for draft picks

    I seem to remember Dalton running some read option in Cinci last season...

  • Just more ammunition to steer clear from this guy....

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000645131/article/does-colin-kaepernick-deserve-another-chance

    From the article:

    "The secret was out on how to stop Kaepernick. He was often forced to roll to his left and didn't respond well. Opposing defenses saw many of the 49ers' bootlegs coming. Kaepernick started eight games in 2015; the team scored seven points or less in four of them, with only a field goal in two of those contests. The 49ers had more punts than first downs in his game against Seattle. It wasn't modern football." Sort of sounds like (in a different way) when opposing DCs figured out Derek Anderson.

    BTW, the Broncos apparently think Kap is only worth a 4th round pick, around 70 slots LOWER than what the Browns are (stupidly) willing to give up for a reclamation project. MHO is the Broncs have Kap valued correctly.

  • Kap should be worth far more to the Broncos than us. They have a lot of talent in place already on both sides of the ball, they have a reliable running game with CJ Anderson back, they have a dominant defense, they can let Kap be their game manager and probably have some success with him in a minimized role. We don't have shit for him here to make his life easier, he won't even have a game to manage here. There just isn't enough talent for him to have success so why even bother?
