“Couldn’t pass for anything” seems a bit strong

What do those numbers mean?

“Couldn’t pass for anything” seems a bit strong

The overall gross numbers are quite telling.

The highest season ranking for passing offense during Colin's tenure with SF was like 21st. Alex Smith started more games that year.

The next highest ranking was like 28th. I don't feel like running the numbers again. I definitely posted them in this thread, but they are absolutely brutal.

Obviously Colin's rushing production needs to count for something, but so should the eye test. I mean the guy has lots of examples of just launching the ball well over the heads of receivers.

 

[Ghost Rider]

It's been so long since this guy posted a winning record as a starting QB that it was back when Tom Brady was still stuck on only 3 Super Bowl wins.

“Couldn’t pass for anything” seems a bit strong

Comp PCT: 2015 he finished 30th of 35 qualifying QB, in 2016 he finished 17th out of 30

YPA: 2015 he finished 31st of 35, 2016 24th out of 30

QBR: 2015 he was 31st of 35; 2016 17th of 30

So except for running looks like Kappy was a low tier starter when he started.

Right now Kappy should go to the CFL for one last ditch effort to see if he can tear it up and get a tryout somewhere

Stephen A Smith thinks the Dallas Cowboys should give Colin Kaepernick a call, despite that he hasn’t played in over 5 years.

He says they won’t, though, not because he isn’t good enough but because Texas is too “patriotic.”

"Let’s stop with this Colin Kaepernick stuff. Let’s just stop it. Colin Kaepernick’s been out of football for what over five years now," Irvin said on Monday's edition of ESPN's First Take, shutting down the Stephen A. Smith suggestion that the Cowboys give Kaepernick a try in place of the injured Dak Prescott. "Come on, man. Let’s stop all of a sudden thinking we can go resurrect Colin Kaepernick and he’s going to come and resurrect a football team. Not going to happen."

Not necessarily. Depends what stats you are looking at (chart of Top 15 QBs with their TD to INT ratio at below link).

The QB has been the subject of much debate this offseason, both on-field and off. Scott Barrett looks at the on-field side.

The Good: Throughout the history of the NFL, among all 186 quarterbacks to record at least 1,500 attempts throughout their careers, Colin Kaepernick ranks fifth-best in passing touchdown to interception ratio (72:30.)

Kappy only threw 72 TDs passes in that 6 year period or an average of 12 per season. Plus Kappy gets sacked at a higher % than anyone but David Carr. Not acceptable in the modern NFL.

Russell Wilson threw almost 60 more TDs starting a year later.

You just won't let go, will you? Dredging up every insignificant and irrelevant stat you can find. Stats don't mean squat if you can't win games. And by "win games" I mean you have a QB who can win you a game - like Rodgers, Mahomes, Brady, etc..., not some QB like Joe Flacco or Trent Dilfer where the team may win in spite of the QB play because of the DEF or someone else. Kappy falls into that 2nd category.

"but what about his run game!", you may say - NFL Defenses catch up to running QBs pretty quickly. And those QBs are usually in their early to mid 20's, not some ancient fossil like Kappy at 34 years of age. At that age, ALL previous running QBs become exposed. They run because they can't pass and when the running game dies you get Kappy.

 

[Zegras11]

He was very bad his last year. Horrid in a game vs Bears. I don't care what his lifetime stats are.

No one wants a Bup QB that they have to design a completely new offense around. Coaches don't have the time and resources for all that.

I get it, but you have to accept sooner or later Kappy is not coming back to the NFL.

I am sure if he just wants to play football the CFL or USFL would use him for publicity but at 34 without having played in 6 years looks like he can officially retire from the NFL

There are QBs on great teams and QBs that make their teams great.

Aikman, being a decent QB on one of the best teams ever, might be the type of comp that fits Kaep.

Kaep didn't take his team anywhere, they took him.

You should have listed Dilfer.

Metrics that Matter: Just how good (or not) is Colin Kaepernick? | Fantasy Football News, Rankings and Projections | PFF

The QB has been the subject of much debate this offseason, both on-field and off. Scott Barrett looks at the on-field side.

www.pff.com

The Good: Throughout the history of the NFL, among all 186 quarterbacks to record at least 1,500 attempts throughout their careers, Colin Kaepernick ranks fifth-best in passing touchdown to interception ratio (72:30.)

Kappy only threw 72 TDs passes in that 6 year period or an average of 12 per season. Plus Kappy gets sacked at a higher % than anyone but David Carr. Not acceptable in the modern NFL.

Russell Wilson threw almost 60 more TDs starting a year later.

I just noticed, this article was from 5 1/2 years ago.

You are welcome to post an updated link to where he stands now, if you can find a link.

This is his 6th season out of the league. There are no updated stats.

This thread is going on 6 years now. I know you had wishful thinking, but I don`t think Kappy will ever play in the NFL again.

This is his 6th season out of the league. There are no updated stats.

I meant where his TD to INT ratio stands now in comparison to other QBs as far as career stats are concerned.

I get it, but you have to accept sooner or later Kappy is not coming back to the NFL.

I am sure if he just wants to play football the CFL or USFL would use him for publicity but at 34 without having played in 6 years looks like he can officially retire from the NFL

As has been pointed out numerous times in this thread, playing in the CFL is not an entry way into the NFL or back into the NFL. The last QB to successfully transition from the CFL to the NFL was Jeff Garcia in 1999 and no one since.

“Couldn’t pass for anything” seems a bit strong

Comp PCT: 2015 he finished 30th of 35 qualifying QB, in 2016 he finished 17th out of 30

YPA: 2015 he finished 31st of 35, 2016 24th out of 30

QBR: 2015 he was 31st of 35; 2016 17th of 30

So except for running looks like Kappy was a low tier starter when he started.

Right now Kappy should go to the CFL for one last ditch effort to see if he can tear it up and get a tryout somewhere

Stephen A Smith thinks the Dallas Cowboys should give Colin Kaepernick a call, despite that he hasn’t played in over 5 years.

He says they won’t, though, not because he isn’t good enough but because Texas is too “patriotic.”

"Let’s stop with this Colin Kaepernick stuff. Let’s just stop it. Colin Kaepernick’s been out of football for what over five years now," Irvin said on Monday's edition of ESPN's First Take, shutting down the Stephen A. Smith suggestion that the Cowboys give Kaepernick a try in place of the injured Dak Prescott. "Come on, man. Let’s stop all of a sudden thinking we can go resurrect Colin Kaepernick and he’s going to come and resurrect a football team. Not going to happen."

You're the only one making this argument. Just because you make it over and over doesn't make it legitimate. The reason there aren't a lot of QB's who transition from the CFL to the NFL is because, well, most NFL capable QB's are already in the NFL. But every once in a while you get a Doug Flutie or a Kurt Warner who make their way to the NFL from one of the minor leagues of football. If Kappy thinks he's worthy he should go to one of those leagues and prove it. The NFL doesn't overlook talent no matter where it is. So, they'd gladly take him back if he showcased NFL ability.

The NFL doesn't overlook talent no matter where it is.

It has in the case of the CFL since 1999.

Not one QB has used the CFL as an entry way to the NFL in 22 years. Not one. So, either there hasn't been one QB who played in the CFL since 1999 who is good enough to play in the NFL or (more likely) the NFL thinks playing in the CFL proves nothing and pays no attention (maybe it's the wider field or that there is only 3 downs instead of 4).

You just won't let go, will you? Dredging up every insignificant and irrelevant stat you can find. Stats don't mean squat if you can't win games. And by "win games" I mean you have a QB who can win you a game - like Rodgers, Mahomes, Brady, etc..., not some QB like Joe Flacco or Trent Dilfer where the team may win in spite of the QB play because of the DEF or someone else. Kappy falls into that 2nd category.

"but what about his run game!", you may say - NFL Defenses catch up to running QBs pretty quickly. And those QBs are usually in their early to mid 20's, not some ancient fossil like Kappy at 34 years of age. At that age, ALL previous running QBs become exposed. They run because they can't pass and when the running game dies you get Kappy.

TD to INT ratio is not an irrelevant nor an insignificant stat, as it is a measure of accuracy. And he obviously won some games since he took his team to two NFC Division Championship games and one Super Bowl.

it certainly is when you're throwing 12 TDs a year because all you're doing is running.

That is from my own recollection, and I remember that was noted by sportswriters for the brief time that Johnny Manzel was in the CLF and before that why Tim Tebow never tried playing in the CFL. If anyone can come forward with some names, it would be appreciated as I have trouble recalling any CFL QB to even make an NFL roster and certain none that ever started an NFL game since Jeff Garcia.

Ok thanks, due to my college rooting interests, I know of a QB well after '99 that went from the CFL to a few-year clipboard gig that only played a bit of mop-up duty in the regular season. Not a notable guy.

But I was really just wondering if your claim was based on a reputable source that made an oversight, or just your memory.

Not necessarily. I've said from the time he tried out with The Raiders, he will probably get signed as an insurance policy late in the season when QBs and backups start going down to injuries. Take a look at some of the QBs signed out of desperation in the last month in the season for the last few years (which was talked about at the time in this thread).

I saw the video where his friend and teammate Vernon Davis calls him Kappy. That is good enough for me. Plus many other in this thread do as well. You can call him whatever you want. Lets forget the semantics.

Would you bet on him playing again in the NFL?

Do you mean being signed to a roster or playing in a game?

I mean this is the 6th season out of the league.

So just on a roster is in the league. If it was going to happen it would have happened by now.

Not necessarily. I've said from the time he tried out with The Raiders, he will probably get signed as an insurance policy late in the season when QBs and backups start going down to injuries. Take a look at some of the QBs signed out of desperation in the last month in the season for the last few years (which was talked about at the time in this thread).

QBs have been getting hurt for the last 6 years too and nothing has happened.

I actually wanted to see him play at least in X season to see if any tread was left. I just don`t see it happening now.

Yes, and he was blackballed until this year (and may still be as far as some teams are concerned). He didn't get a workout until 2022 (came close a few years back with Seattle who invited him for a workout, then cancelled it when Kaepernick indicated he would still kneel during the anthem).

Kaepernick was simply the distraction so people didn’t discuss real issues like our medieval for profit healthcare system.

Take your whining about healthcare to the Healthcare thread. This is the Colin Kaepernick whining thread.

Not one QB has used the CFL as an entry way to the NFL in 22 years. Not one. So, either there hasn't been one QB who played in the CFL since 1999 who is good enough to play in the NFL or (more likely) the NFL thinks playing in the CFL proves nothing and pays no attention (maybe it's the wider field or that there is only 3 downs instead of 4).

Do you have a link for this?

That is from my own recollection, and I remember that was noted by sportswriters for the brief time that Johnny Manzel was in the CLF and before that why Tim Tebow never tried playing in the CFL. If anyone can come forward with some names, it would be appreciated as I have trouble recalling any CFL QB to even make an NFL roster and certain none that ever started an NFL game since Jeff Garcia.

If you were a betting man, would you bet on Kappy playing in the NFL again?

I wouldn't bet on any player who goes by the nickname "Kappy"

We agree. I would not bet on Kappy ever playing again either.

Sad Straw Man on your part.

I asked if you would bet on Kappy ever playing again, you said you would not bet on Kappy. I agreed.

"Blackballed" is code for not good enough to be in the league.
