It would be a waste of time just like convincing him Luck isn't elite. Keapernick is a six year veteran for god sake. Year two and five pretty much tells you what tier your quarterback is in 95% of any scenario. He could be an Aaron Rodgers or Steve Young but would you bet actual money on it? And by actual I mean yours?Laloosh":2xvybgzh said:Hasselbeck":2xvybgzh said:Guess what? Cam Newton wouldn't be a great fit for Chip Kelly either. His short-intermediate accuracy is erratic. Cam is an athletic freak that thrives in a vertical passing game. Chip wants to beat you with 1000 tiny papercuts. Its a very different philosophy.
Again you're falling into that same fallacy that Chip Kelly wants an athlete at QB because he had success with a "gimmicky" college offense. When he's already shown in his short time in the NFL that the type of QB he wants is a guy that is mobile enough to evade pressure, but has very good accuracy on their short to intermediate passing. That's why he wanted Sam Bradford last season. That's why he tried to trade a boat load to get Marcus Mariota (the perfect type of QB for his offense).
Colin Kaepernick is a phenomenal athlete, and when he's allowed to use his mobility as a weapon is when he's at his best. But when he's confined into being a pocket quarterback, his numbers plummet.
It's no wonder why Kaep's best seasons came when Roman/Harbaugh let him run around and make plays. Chip Kelly's offense isn't going to do that.
Can't wait to read the rebuttal to this one... :snack:
