[QUOTE="CandlestickBum, post: 483836, member: 8743"] Just my two cents: if you go after Kaepernick directly with a blitz he will burn you passing out of the pocket or running around the blitzers. His biggest problems are his inexperience, poor game management skills, and poor passing skills out of the pocket. The teams that have been effective against Kaepernick have contained the RBs to three yards or less per carry to force throws and then forced Kapernick out of the pocket, where he is a poor passer. Kaepernick has basically three strengths: As QBs go, he is huge (6'5", probably at least 240-250 pounds now), he is incredibly fast, and he was drafted as a pitcher by the Chicago cubs, so he can throw the rock as hard and accurately as anybody. He may be the most athletically talented QB in the game. But as far as other skills, he has not proven that he has anything special at this early point in his career. Get ahead and force him to pass on every play and his inability to effectively manage the game clock and force passes shows. He is not a QB like Rodgers or Brady who, with a lot of luck on his side, can force his way back from a 20 point deficit. But try to send blitzers against him to smack him around in the back field and he will burn you. He is not accurate like Alex Smith was this year, but he has a hell of a strong arm and some of the fastest feet in the business. [/QUOTE]
