Quote:Because of the defense. Same thing happened last year: game manager Colin Kaepernick started in the Super Bowl because the 49ers had a great defense. Starting in the Super Bowl has nothing in the world to do with being one of the best players at your position.

 

Yeah the Seahawks definitely would have gone to the Super Bowl with Matt Flynn and Charlie Whitehurst. 

 

Wilson is better at QB than Anger is at punter.  Hate to break it to you, but he is. 

 

I would take a "game manager" QB over a punter any day.  Anger was worth about, oh say 7th rounder or UDFA.  And he really isn't all that impressive. 

 

They could have taken a guy who would never do anything and I still would have been happier than when they took Anger.  How many games has Anger won us again?  Big goose egg on that one. 

 

Tinker is a better long snapper than Anger is a punter, does that mean we should have drafted him in the 2nd round?

 

EDIT: It wasn't just Wilson they passed on.  Foles, Hilton, Vernon, Pierce, Sanu, etc......

I really can't believe we are still talking about this.
