He's got talent no doubt, when he can trust himself to make the throws he needs it could change. Right now he can't & it shows he doesn't believe he can, he under throws a fair amount.

He does have a great arm, watched him through his college career as well. He still has to trust himself to make the throws. Which may or may not come with time.

Did he win the game? Does the score matter when they didn't win. Nope. All that matters is they lost.

so if the Bruins beat the Flyers 6-1 and then the Bruins beat the Penguins 1-0 both Flyers and Penguins suck equally?

oh really who is winning this game? how did kapernick do against seattle's defense? much better than the great peyton manning that's for sure
- 2Real

im not trying to be a Richard in any way, but your arguments are typically either so inconsistent or weak i legitimately have a hard time trying to refute them point by point. but here goes.

if youre going to list this game as a sort of condemning principle, that in of itself is tenuous at best. if you were attempting to make the argument that a strong defense typically bests a strong offense, then this could be a paragon for your approach. however, as to the whole "running qb" argument, its a weak correlation at best. seattle is not winning this game because of anything russell wilson has done with his legs. granted, peyton is being stymied by this great defense, but to attempt to point to peyton as the example for the pocket quarterbacks' shortcomings in general, i really cant help you there if you have the ability to blatantly ignore a ridiculously large (and successful) sample size.

and as for that "how did kaep do last week argument", and since i know you have a penchant for linking the whole game's outcome as entirely dependent upon the fortunes of the quarterback, as they either solely win or lose it for you, kaep's level of participation in this current game is literally the same as yours and mine.

Not sure how you came up with this but you've missed the point so I'll give it one more shot.

It doesn't matter how much you win by or how you get to the win. It just matters that you win the game.

At the end of the day all that will be talked about is that you won the game and advanced.

23-17 not 22-0 at half LOL game could have easily gone the 49ers way in a stadium that is very tough for an away team
- 2Real

your ability to isolate the quarterback as the only relevant factor, and yet simultaneously make generalizations and assumptions based upon the entirety of the team's performance, makes it very hard to follow a logical progression in your stance, other than that you just like colin kaepernick. which is fine, but it doesnt prove or dictate anything

24!!!!


"It’s likely the promos – slated to run before and during the gridiron classic – will be of a higher caliber than the norm. Sure, the spots will likely tell viewers when the shows are slated to run. Chances are, however, they’ll have a little something extra. In the case of “24: Live Another Day,” for example, Fox went all out, setting up a special promo shoot in London, the setting for the miniseries, a few days before actual production began on the series itself – meaning the Super Bowl promos for the show will contain the first “24” action filmed since the original series wrapped in 2010.

The “24”effort will consist of a series of ten-second vignettes sprinkled across the evening that will lead to what the network bills as a “show-stopping” 45-second promo. They should capture a lot of attention from the show’s fans, because they will feature the on-screen reunion of the show’s best-known characters, Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer and Mary Lynn Rajskub’s Chloe O’Brian. Fox said the elaborate shoot involved street closures, ballistics, vehicles, pyrotechnics and explosions. The promos will feature a hardened look for the O’Brian character, best remembered as a computer nerd."

you're completely missing the point you liked to bash kapernick and the fact he's a running QB but he faired much better against this same defense

If Bruno Mars goes down in Super Bowl 48 as having a better performance than Peyton manning and the Denver broncos... Then wow.

This game is going the seahawks favor in every way

so by your logic, russell wilson's rushing ability somehow aided that return

I'm actually kind of glad.

Anything to further taint the reputation of the NFL is good in my book
