Quote:Well as long as we're bashing Gabbert based on his lone partial game this season I don't see any reason not to bash Kaepernick on his poor games this year.

 

But, yeah, you're right. On a stacked team Kaepernick looked like a great player. I've heard some excuses for why he didn't look so good based on his team having injuries.

 

It's funny how when it's a guy that had the benefit of starting off on a stacked team it's okay to make excuses for stretches of poor play because he looked good on a stacked team from the start, but when similar excuses are made for a guy that's played on the worst roster I've ever seen it's all about how great players make everyone around them better.

 

It isn't the fact that Gabbert's played bad, it is how poorly he has played over his entire career.  I'm not bashing Gabbert.  Why is it bashing if I don't feel he is a good QB?  And again, I was comparing Gabbert to Henne since you wanted to point out Henne's two bad games, yet made no mention of Gabbert's play this year.  Be fair, impartial and non bias.  You can't seem to do that though.

 

Kaepernick has had a lot of success right out of the gate.  He has a better team, sure, but he was a huge part of their run last year.  He also made that offense better.  It played better under him then it did under Alex Smith who was a veteran.  He had a 98.3 QB rating last year, had a YPA of 8.32, completed 62.4% of his passes, ran for 414 yards averaging 6.6 yards a carry, had 15 TD's (rushing, passing combined) and 3 INT's.  Kap has had two poor performances and two good performances this year.  He threw for over 400 yards his first game (something Gabbert has never done) and did so without Michael Crabtree.  He also took his team to the Super Bowl and was a yard away from winning the whole thing doing so in his 1st year.  In comparison, how many good games has Gabbert had in 25 starts?  2 or 3?  Like I said, I feel like I'm talking to a child because most if not everyone knows the above.  It is ludicrous to put Gabbert in the same breath as Kaepernick.
