Laram on C.Kaepernik
—————————————-
I want him as the Rams qb next season moving forward.
I’m watching some tape of him from 2012 slicing up the Cheatriots for 4 TD’s through the air in a driving rain.
The accuracy he is demonstrating in these weather conditions is awe inspiring.
You won’t get that from looking at stats, you have to see the game.
Watching some of his games I can certainly see why Jaws went out on a limb.
The guy showed tremendous game breaking talent.
Then I get to his 2014 tape and I start to notice in the last few games a change in his play.
Not threatening the defense as much, staying more stationary and shortening the field for himself.
It appears to me that he’s being coached to become more of a pocket passer, reading and reacting to the defense instead of forcing the reaction.
We then hear about him working with Kurt on his mechanics and pocket presence.
What I didn’t realize was his lifetime comp% is actually higher than some qb’s that are considered “accurate” in the NFL.
I’ve written this before, but I would tailor the offense to his strengths and allow him to play more freely.
He has only played what amounts to 3.5 seasons in the NFL. He is still very young at the position.
I wouldn’t force him to try and be something he’s not until he’s ready…if he ever is.
IMO its not important that he become a quote un quote “conventional qb”.
IF he remains a 60% passer who also accumulates 300-500 yards rushing, you can be very successful with that!
So give me either Adam Gase or Rob Chudzsinski and Colin Kaepernick at qb, and…..
I’ll take mines, and beat yourns!! cool smiley
