Ringless has went from humble to borderline cocky all within a few weeks. He played the "we haven't won anything yet so I'll refrain from making any noise, even if we already beat the Niners with a backup QB" card to suddenly proclaiming the downfall of his rivals.
It's ok, just pick one path and stick with it. You won't win anyone over that way.
And agree with the Wilson praise. The over the top praise is tolerable at best coming from Seahawk fans, but from NFC West rivals or other football fans, it's just nauseating (same with Peyton Manning btw, not just a Wilson thing).
We get it. Wilson is more polished in front of the camera than his rival, and perhaps you can say the same thing with respect to Harbaugh/Carroll. Great, aweseome.
As far as the other 52 people associated with their respective ball clubs, what do you think the national perception is on the personas of stars who play on SF vs. those who play in Seattle? Compare Willis, Bowman, Staley, Justin Smith Gore to Sherman, Baldwin, Lynch, Tate, Harvin (yes I'm including these two departed guys)......both from an interaction with the media/public and how they treat their own teammates.
To me, there's a pretty noticeable difference. Even guys like Crabtree and Vernon Davis didn't cause any drama within the locker room like others have done in the Seattle. The 49ers never had to make a trade to rescue the "lost locker room". If anything the lost locker room is entirely GM/HC/OC related and nothing to do with players. The Alex Smith/Kaepernick saga was going to go full blown locker room drama and Smith put a stop to it. Meanwhile Wilson with no competition whatsoever has been "questioned" by his own teammates.
While the QB may be the #1 face of the franchise, your stars are very much the face(s) as well.
In the grand scheme of things, the knocks on the SEA players I gave mean nothing. But so do the knocks on CK's persona. If anything, they only should matter to 49er fans as it pertains to making the team better and not because of some image problem.
One thing is for certain, Kaepernick is not fake and neither is his head coach. Jay Cutler is a real prick but he also is very authentic. On some level you have to respect that.
You want to talk about authenticity, professionalism, and the whole 9 to contrast Kaepernick?
Mention the QB for Kansas City. He knows how to be professional and human at the same time.
