Well I can see you don't actually know what you're talking about now. First off, yeah Kap is very good at running , that's true. But he's also actually able to go through his reads and progressions if necessary. Not a an elite level but good enough. Chip Kelly's running game is fairly unique but passing wise he runs a straight up west coast scheme. You have to make reads, progressions etc etc in order to run it. Same with Romans offense. 

It's always smart to run RPOs with Kap to make use of his legs and get some easy plays but he's shown he can make reads and progressions in NFL type schemes. Most of all he takes care of the football and turns it over at a very low rate. That's skill that tons of QBs struggle with that Kap is elite at.  He played well this past year despite have zero around him.

So no he can actually play the position of QB and do so in an NFL offense. You can see that if you watched him, which you haven't because you apparently think that he's just a one-read QB..when objectively speaking he has shown he can make more than one read on any given play and do so decently.

I'm not even going to get into it with the whole I don't know what I'm talking about...

If he was good enough, he'd have a job.
Period.

He had some good years but those are a few seasons back. His flash in the pan is over.
Stop drooling over a slightly more successful Johnny Football...

He rode a stellar D and the read option to a couple losing efforts (NFC championship, and SB)
Once the newness wore off and Jim left, he was done. He wasn't that good of a pocket passer QB before and he never got better. He wasn't good under Tomsula or Kelly...

People point to the 11 starts he had like they were special. They were average... anyone want an average starting QB with baggage? Anyone?? Anyone... no? Oh.. got plenty of average NFL starting QBs as is... and most of them don't bring a circus with them.


Keep banging that drum though... eventually you'll get your wish to see Kaep suck again


I just hope the Jaguars aren't dumb enough to bring him here and waste the time and effort.

"Time tested skillful QBs who have careers longer than 3-4 years and are worthy of starting gigs, can read a defense, and make a play from the pocket.

Not this one read run crap."  

But he's shown he can read a defense , make plays from the pocket and go through more than one progression. Chip Kelly runs a fairly standard West coast scheme in the passing game with many of the checks, reads and progressions you see around the league.   

Would be a huge surprise if he came here with the military presence and all. I think Khan's aware of that. 
If he came here we'd be a playoff team this year. Only a lineman or two and a competent QB away from competing for it.
