How bright is Jimmy G's future?
Go to your local Home depot buy a welder then get an iron rod about 7 feet high make sure its high noon. Now at about the 6 ft mark facing the sun start welding the brightness from the welding and sunshine together is how bright jimmy future.
First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright time will tell.
toorop111 the story better then we ever could.
There was a rumor that this was a behind the back move by Belicheck because he knew he was leaving when management told him he couldn't start Jimmy G. So as retaliation he moves Jimmy to a team that will pay him an upwards of 100 mill? As a non-player coach, he sure keeps players in mind. Congrats Garoppolo
Slick DaFlo not true
"Title Spoils Nick Wright's Mystery Comparison"
MifBif exactly bro
MifBif title made me click tho
Good point
JUST THE FACTS
I must admit that was pretty good by Nick
Nak Loves Jesus Not really. He didn't show how Kaep had a full season ahead of those last 5 games to develop chemistry with teammates and understand the playbook etc and only won 1 game the entire season vs Jimmy G who joined the team late and won 4 or 5 games in a row.
With no distraction factor whatsoever
you also forget the fact their is no tape on jimmy grappolo when teams have video on him we will see how great he really is next season
#1 any GM in the league who listens to what Nick just said won't have a job after a year. In the NFL the sign of a good or great QB is not how many yards did they throw or what their QBR is, it's how many games are they winning, period. I noticed that was the one stat Nick "forgot" to show. #2 It doesn't take a lot to look at Jimmy G's game to see he's special, you can get all the film you want, any QB that has that level of pocket presence, ability to read plays, and deadly accuracy will be good for many years in the NFL and he did it with very little talent on offense.
No it wasn't. There's more to the story than stats. They don't even come close to telling the real story.
So many triggers intensifying 😂
Josh Norris its so foul that Kaep aint the league. Kaep is better than any QB in Minnesota. Kaep should go to the Vikings. That being said Keenum doing his thing and should beat the Eagles. But beating Brady would be a true testament
Saul Reyes He will probably end up in Oakland 😂
Thanks Mr. Nick Wright, because this segment was insightful due to the NFL quarterback situation within the San Francisco 49ers franchise.
Kaepernicks last 5 games also included 45 punts. Garappolo? 13........ Show me the third down PCT nick wright
kevinthejuice what does that have to do with him not having a job in the league when you have teams like the browns who have qbs who can’t win one game. stop denying why he’s not in the league
because they have a higher upside (room to grow) than kaepernick. They have a better mental ability of reading defense and understanding a new playbook than kaepernick. and they can throw for more than 4 yards against the bears. he led the niners to a whopping 1 win last year. hows that any better than browns qb's? stop denying he's not that much of an improvement.
@kevinthejuice - Are you seriously this stupid?? Other than the win and loss column which has the do with whole team not just Kaep, he has put up way better numbers than any browns QBs. And browns didn't even win a game this year, of course they have room to grow, there can't get any worse.
kevinthejuice kaepernick has a Super Bowl start I’m just ganna say that. He’s pretty darn good in my opinion in the right system
his superbowl run, nah Green Bay destroyed his system. Except he alone destroyed our system haha.
Tom Brady grew up a Niner fan and is still a Niner fan today. Did Tom convince Jimmy to go to the Niners?
He is a Patriots fan. There is no question about that. Here is proof he left his heart in San Francisco and is still a Niners fan today. czcams.com/video/sZ55kBxKGMw/video.html
Part of bellichik genius....
After they disrespected him at the draft I think he stopped rooting for them. Watch "Brady's 6", his father explains it.
Much respect for Nick to bring this to light
i died when i herd hia reaction wow 😂😂😂😂
Nice point but he forgot the stat that matters most.. W's & L's..
Tebow?
Yeah maybe I guess, because Garopollo is better. But it really does show that Kaep should get a chance to be an NFL starter
Yeah it's funny how he conveniently leaves out the unquestionably most important stat of them all...
Hmm, 6-0 or 1-5? Same difference right?
Also over those 6 games the 49ers couldn't once score more than 24 points with CK but Jimmy comes in, learns new offense in short time and they're putting up 25+ points per game more times than not including putting up 44 on the top defense. Kaepernick is good at putting up (garbage time) numbers despite not leading his team to many points but without a top D he doesn't put up wins, which is the ONLY stat anyone should really care about.
Cellar Door I guess you could put in how many playoff wins and super bowl appearances too since you wanna nitpick
If wins and losses matter then so does 1 Superbowl appearance and 1 confrence chamionship 2 appearences and multiple playoff wins wich also didn't make the list. The point was how simular their stats where. Individual performances. Even tho he did say jimmy G is better
Well Colin got to play on a significantly better team starting his career. The year before he started the 9ers went to the NFC championship game. And they went to the super bowl the year he took over. While jimmy's 9ers had gone 4-12, 2-14, and, 1-10 before he started. And the organized had changed its coach and gm. Not an average comparison.
We had one of the weakest o lines bro
Still my favorite Nick Wright take
Nick Wright Is For THE CULTURE. ✊🏾💯
Don’t just look at the stat sheet. WATCH. THE. GAMES. Go get a NFL game pass right now and watch the replays.
I’m a Niner fan who’s watched every game for the past 24 years. The offense under Kap was stop and go. No consistency, he’d have one playmaking drive followed by several 3-and-outs. Below average accuracy and little feel for the passing game.
With Jimmy G the offense hardly ever went 3 and out. He consistently led the offense down the field for points. Remember, he jumped into a complex offense mid-year. 3 of the INTs were not even his fault, and he’ll start racking up the TDs as he masters the offense.
Comparing the two is a JOKE, and I liked Kap. Jimmy G is on a completely different level as a pure pocket passer. He elevated the ENTIRE team. 1-10 to 5-0. Wright is wrong, yet again.
DeeJay Guy i thi k thw point of the video was to say teams should be lining up for kap as much as they would for Garappolo. kap is my fav 9er of all time (top 3 atleast lol) and agree jimmy looks better but like the guysl said, there isnt a 100 million dollar difference
you're arguing the wrong point that wright was making. He didn't mean to say that kaps numbers were superior, moreso that they were similar.
also, what you said and especially what chris said about kap being with the niners for years and still only having similar numbers makes wrights point invalid. in my opinion.
You also have to consider the drastic coaching difference between Jimmy and Kap. Jimmy has one of the greatest offensive minds in the NFL who just came off a season where he conducted one of the greatest offenses in NFL history. Kap had Chip Kelly, whose gimmicky offense hadn't worked in years. Not saying either is better than the other - just pointing out the coaching and the system both were placed in. It is definitely a factor to consider.
DeeJay Guy ...I don't completely disagree with some of your points. But much like Wright, you're offering very little perspective. The offensive coordinators (I mean Curtis Modkins really?) and head coaches Kaepernick played under, and the Niners' current regime in Kyle Shanahan are just not comparable IN ANY capacity. Shanahan has consistently proven himself to be one of great offensive minds of his generation. Harbaugh was a defensive minded coach who did little to address Roman's oftentimes stagnant offensive scheme in SF. And Chip Kelly and Curtis Modkins? I mean is it really even necessary for me to go there. 😂😂😂
It would be like not recognizing that Bevell and Tom Cable in Seattle are clearly morons, and that while like Harbaugh, Pete Carroll has great vision on the defensive end, he oftentimes takes the brilliance of his quarterback for granted... There's a reason Seattle's offense is so stagnant year in year out. And it's not on Wilson... But the clear lack of vision by both Cable and Bevell to exploit the type of talent Seattle has on the offensive side of the football.
It may not seem like it, but Garoppolo is in an enviable position at the moment, having Kyle Shanahan as his head coach. The main thing SF should address moving forward with great priority is their horrid pass protection issues. Be it changing scheme (to cater to the talent) or getting playmakers on that end that can fit the current scheme.
The difference is Jimmy G won all 6 games. Wins are a big factor
Raymond and Sons Productions No he didn't. The first of 6 he didn't start and they lost the game but the loss didn't go under his name. He is 5-0 as a starter in SF.
The Metalhead Cowboys Fan facts and I was thinking why they show the first 6 gms with Jimmy G against Seattle doesn't count lol
Bomac94 CJ Beathard started the game against the Seahawks. Jimmy G only came in in the 4th Q after he got hurt. His first FULL start was against the Bears.
Bomac94 - because without that 6th game, Kaepernick would only have 900 total yards and 7 TDs. See, Kap had a pretty good game against Miami in week 12. He had 400 yards of offense and 3 TDs. That’s why Wright is extending it to 6 games even though Jimmy G only started 5 games and only had 2 passes for 18 yards and a TD in the waning moments of the Seattle game.
John Conn - 7-0, not 8-0. 2 starts in New England and 5 in San Francisco
Nick always keeping it real.
THANK YOU NICK !!!!!
Left out the W-L record
Jimmy G went undefeated as a starter;D
The W-L record can actually be seen in a stat he didn't show: yards per attempt. Kap averaged 6.8 in 2016. Jimmy G averaged 8.8. That is the difference.
What he doesn't show is how many times each qb got sacked in those 6 games. Kaep got sacked about 20 times. Garoppolo 8. And before you start saying it's the o lines fault, Brian Hoyer played 6 games with the same o line and got sacked 16 times. CJ Beathard played 5 games and got 19 times. So sacks can be avoided with a good enough qb.
And Jimmy G had to play with Zane Beadles at RT.. ZANE BEADLES! I honestly believe what made Kaepernick seem so good was that he was surrounded by a team full of very good players, he had a supporting cast. Without that supporting cast, he's a third tier QB.
Kaepernick is Basically a Blake Bortles with the jags hide him with good defense and a solid run game and good offensive line
D T you just described Dak Prescott
That's because Garopollo's release is lightning fast. Defenses literally have 2.5-3 seconds to get to him
much respect Nick.
how many games did kap win in 2016 compared to garropolo this year?
Job Solis How many Superbowls did Jimmy G lead his team to? buddy cut the hate out,its way to early to tell if Jimmy is the real deal or not.
the truth Garapalo I guess Joe Flacco is better than deshuan watson, cam newton, carson wentz, and every other qb who hasnt won a superbowl
Job Solis they had different coaches
@Job Solis - Different coaching staff and different players. Not to mention the defense on this years team was way better than last year. Besides, what does it matter who won more game. The point Nick Wright brought up is NOT that Kap is as good as Jimmy G. He's saying that since his stats are in the ball park of JImmy G, he should have a job in the NFL. Think of all the bad QBs that are out there.
Why does I.T matter they had a different coach you idiot
Colin also opted out of his contract the part that everyone doesn't state. And a bigger point everybody except for the 49ers and there fan base said Colin was garbage before the protest was ever a thing.
Let’s talk about their records though and how they lead a team...die hard Niner fan my entire and i like Kap but it was clear he was not a leader like Jimmy is
Mohammed Halabi after he beats some "teams" we'll see and actually atleast makes the trip to the big game than you can induct in HOF 😂😂😂🏃🏃🏃🏃
Mohammed Halabi you forgot who kap coach was last year ??? And the team was just as bad
Lol y'all will never call a non white QB a leader
Mohammed Halabi exactly. And the last seasons it seemed like Kap was taking sack after sack, and couldn't throw to a open reciever. I remember him throwing at recievers feet, way behind them, or way over them. He just looked scared back there and yet wouldnt take off and run, then got sacked. Jimmy G and Kap look like night and day in comparison. I still think Kap deserves another shot on a team
I'm A Legend They Should Paint Me dumbest statement i ever read haha
That's deep.....
CRAZY
What was Kap's record just saying.....But he did deserve a shot....That being said please do not bring the Miami QBs into the fold.....You can't expect a city that fled Castro to support a QB who supports Castro.
Pat R its a team game idiot they didnt lose cause of him clearly as the stats show
James Taylor Jimmy joined a worse team and won 5 Games.
James Taylor they kinda did they never moved the ball with kap teams figured him out quick
Anyone with average intelligence would know that cherry picking stats without context is a terrible way to evaluate players.
you mad bro
How Is this cherry pickin tho
These aren’t cherry picked, they are all the main QB comparison stats...
kaepernick has equal or better stats on a much worse team
King Manny - Because these are the first 6 games for Jimmy G in a new offense but the last 6 games for Kap in his season. Oh by the way, Kap in his first 6 games in the new Chip Kelly offense had a 55% completion. Jimmy G in his last 2 games as starter in New England had a 71% completion and Passer rating of 119. That’s the real comparison between Jimmy G and Kap
*Looks at title*
"Oh this is gonna be funny."
lets goooooo nick!
Teams that missed the playoff or lost significantly more because of not signing Kaep
1. Browns
2. Texans
3. Cardinals
4. Colts
Kaeps last 16 NFL games:
-59% 3129 yd 20td 5int 629 ryd 2td
Colts:
-59% 3226 yd 13TD 9int 260 ryd 4td
Texans
-54% 1935 yd 5TD 9int 55ryd 0td
Cardinals
-52% 2001 yd 12TD 11int ryd
grinningchicken Kaep would have gotten last seasons Texans far in the playoffs. This season the defense started to show its age.
Those teams were going no where because of far more reasons than qb
Deshaun watson would have gotten the texans at least a win or two in the playoffs, he was ELECTRIC.
grinningchicken Kap sucks he can’t score all he does is punt
Brown's lol
lol left out the W-L's
Roy Dev lol who woulda won with 49ers last year?
according to the stats garopolo would have won, i mean the wins were left out of this segment so it a skewed point that nick wright is making, also kaeps stats were earned later in the games when teams were ahead by 20 points and teams stop trying to keep them from scoring, ive been a niner fan since '94, kaepernicks standard of qb play is not up to par with with montanas, young, garcia. i like kaep, but he was the one that declined playing another year with the niners, so stop making the point about what he deserves, its up to him if he wants to play another down in the league
Roy Dev Garcia? Really?
uuuhhhhh montana>young>garcia..... if im not mistaken Garcia was a 4 time pro bowler, go ahead and try to rank former 9er qbs and tell me thats not the order....if Kaep is nowhere near Garcia than he doesnt fit the standard, however we finally found Garapolo who will get into the ranks of niner QB greats, cmon man Niners according to their track record build dynasties(5 superbowls), i like KAEP but i would rather have Jimmy G as a QB or even Garcia in his prime to go into a season
If you look at the numbers their almost the same in passing, but Kap is dual threat. please forgive the format.

Right on brother Nick.
Now show yards per attempt and Total QBR. (edite: they are 6.8 and 8.8 respectively- Kap was Kaptain checkdown in 2016, only throwing safe crossing routes courtesy of Chip Kelly's offense)
49ers are in the main stream news again
Somebody remind Nick of the $120mil deal Kaep signed with the 49ers like 5 years ago...... and right after he signed that deal, 49ers haven’t been good since
Brian Weikle someone needs to remind you of all the other players and coaches the 9ers lost and went thru since then and kap’s injury
No I don’t need reminded, like I said they haven’t been the same since he signed that deal. It was also one of the worst deals ever, Kaep was a fad that happened in the NFL. It was just like RG3, it was a fad that lasted like 3 years. Every team then figured out how to defend it, and now these players are irrelevant and now we can all see they aren’t as good as people thought. I don’t care what he protests, that’s his right. Don’t come to me trying to sell me that Kaep is a good QB, we can all see that his skill set is very limited.
Tends to happen when you lose 8 pro bowl level players, and your QB intelligent coach
Brian Weikle they didn’t figure it out the team fell apart wit people retireing and people leaving
sure kaep wasnt the great qb we thought he was but half the team retired or went to the raiders, and haurbaugh got fired .
During that year the 49ers had the deepest roster in football huh good times...
I like how they don't bicker.
The difference is that in the "last 6 games of Colin kapernick"... Those were "garbage time numbers" and they only won 1 of those games with Kap.....
Gabriel Villasenor they won that game by 1 point HahaHahahaha
Kap had a trash team with a trash coach there’s a difference
I agree with you about the coach, but imo Jimmy G was surrounded by worse players than Kap
Joshua Mandap are you high? They went into FA & got better players than Kap
60 minutes is garbage time numbers? Shut up you fool
Let’s remind America that jimmy did it with a worse roster and won every game..nick had a tough time in the bay at some point
huge difference being, those were Caps numbers in his last 6 games after 3 yeaes as a starter, 5 years in the system, Jimmy's last 6 are also his first 6 starts, he was walkin in day one... and Chris Carter just pointed out lol
Attitude is crucial.
Wow. Amazing stat!
Eric Pickens Cherry Picking because the 49ers were 1-5 in those games. Show Kaepernick 3rd down completion percentage? Show how many first downs per game we averaged? Show what the team average score was over those games. Kaepernick should be playing but isn’t better the Jimmy G. They said it several times in this video.
Ben Gutierrez how is it cherry picking? It’s last 5 vs last 5 straight up.
Kaepernick and Garapolo play in different offenses
StevieDcomics yeah cuz kap is garbage and has to run a college offense
Nathaniel Keane hey jimmy threw 5 int in just 6 games but kap only threw 4 in 12 games. Kap is better
Javi Garcia Ok Alex Smith threw 5 in a season. So why did Smith get traded in favor of starting Colin? Jimmy is a better than Colin, hands down.
Javi Garcia kap won 4 in a season jimmy won 5 games in 5 games wins over stats bud
Kevin Kart did you even read what I said
I mean nick brings up a good point. Lol
FACTS
Somebody needs to tell Nick Jimmy only played 5 games for the 49ers this season.
Started 5 - Played in 6. Played the last drive in the Seahawks game on 11/26.
yes, but he threw a td in that game, and they're like, talking stats and stuff....
7 games: started 2 for NE and 5 with SF. Or 8, depending on if you want to include that last drive against Seattle this season.
Stats are very misleading. It’s also the way jimmy G is carrying himself. He’s a lot about football and helping everyone get better. Kaep creates a lot of attention and noise that is not related to football. Kaep chose to take a knee and stand up for what he believes in and it has cost him. Many people voice thier concerns with thier companies, industries, staff etc and get unfairly fired for it. Yes, Kaep has the ability to be in the NFL. The NFL only wants players who play ball and talk about football. It’s not the fairest or the best system but that’s the way it is.
MrOshea81 so kap was wrong for taking a knee for all the injustice crimes that been going around the country?
MrOshea81
This is the same reason Marvin Harrison is in the HoF and T.O. isn't yet.
Not saying he was wrong but definitely should’ve been aware of the type of reaction and outcome that has occurred from him doing so. Maybe this is want he wanted. For conversations like this.
The Baltimore Ravens were good to bring him for a workout and his girlfriend called the owner a racist. Ray Lewis was on record for saying that.
That in its self is a reason as to why owners and GMa don’t want him. They ask the question “is his Football abilities worth the noise that will come?” And the answer is no.
Well T.O. Was just nominated for one of the 15 finalist of this upcoming HOF class. So we will see. If doesn’t get in it will be ridiculous. Brett Farve did a lot worse off the field and was not even close as good to T.O. at his position.
I agree with MrOshea81, he made a choice to stand up for what he believes in and is paying a price for it. If a team doesn't want the baggage that comes wiht him then that's their business. JG looks really good right now but only time will tell about the future. Nothing is for sure and money and pressure can change things.
He made the hot dogs taste better 😂
Those stats really shut them up 😂
How about the teams record in those 6 games
L96fan they beat the rams
L96fan it is a team game
Can a qb play defense??
Kaep's 49er defense was one of the worst historically. Tom Brady couldn't overcome that
L96fan last time I checked the quarterback can't play defense
Way to go Nick. This is a historical big stain on the NFL for there blatant transparent in your face discrimination.
The FPV Life it's a stain I'm proud of. Kaepernick was anti USA and a hypocrite. FU Kaepernick.
John Smith it's anti American to hate on someone that believes African Americans deserve better treatment from police and all walks of life. If a man silently kneeling during the national anthem in protest of the disgusting treatment of African American people is unamerican then I believe America needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and fix there priorities
Where are African Americans getting treated so unfairly? I'm "african american" and I live in an area that's like 90% white. Neither I nor any other "african americans" have experienced anything Colin is talking about. Does racism exist, of course. Is it a institutional, huge problem, of course NOT!!!!!
John Smith uncritical patriotism leads to a failed democracy
CZcams Videos no its anti USA wearing a Fidel Castro shirt and portraying all cops as pigs.
Nick just earned my respect..
I won't even mention the W's & L's stat because it's not comparable, but a fun stat is scoring. The 49ers were outscored 171 to 71 in the last 6 games Kaepernick played. Counting the six games (including Seattle) that Jimmy G played for the 49ers the 49ers outscored their opponents 157 to 123. Garoppolo more than doubled Kaepernick's scoring total and he did it with Goodwin and a bunch of rookies.
Haha Nick is the man he’s been really growing on me of late. Triggered niner fans for days
Seth Bowman Cherry Picking because the 49ers were 1-5 in those games. Show Kaepernick 3rd down completion percentage? Show how many first downs per game we averaged? Show what the team average score was over those games. Kaepernick should be playing but isn’t better the Jimmy G. They said it several times in this video.
Ben Gutierrez can you put those stats up so we can see the numbers?
Ben Gutierrez triggered niner fan^
show Colins Pocket time during 3rd down ;)
William Handy lol that’s another thing. Kaepernick wasn’t good enough to avoid sacks in the pocket, jimmy is. That’s why the third down percentage is so high, Kaep had a similar o-line to this years. He even had Garnett and Trent brown active.
Colin Kaepernick: 4 playoff games, 1 NFC Championship, 1 Superbow appearance; 6 year $125M contract.
Jimmy Garopollo: 0 playoff games, 0 NFC Championships; will also get a 6 year $125M contract.
Just comes to show how the NFL has become a sports bubble, QBs dont even have to be consistently playoff good anymore.
TradingKid1998 He was carried by a top defense and great offense around him when he made the super bowl, then, when the talent around him started to fade, so did his record as a starting qb.
Matthew Hermes now this is facts man, good post!
Troll
TradingKid1998 We have learned that teams dont care about playoffs by hiring marvin lewis again
TradingKid1998..Exactly just like Brock Osweiler with his monster contract.
Kaep took over a winning football team. The 49ers were winning when Alex Smith went down and Kaep took over. G took over a team that hadn't won a game.
Great blind conparison by Nick!
Nick Wright IS RIGHT.
David O'Neal White Nick Wright is Right, Write that down.
Branzilla 17 Bwaaahaaa! Lol! That's a tongue twister.
nick you’re a legend
But colin played under chip kelly and still had the same identical stats 😂😂
6.8 versus 8.8. That is the difference between the two, and it's in the stats that Nick didn't show. You CANNOT win games throwing for 6.8 yards per attempt. It won't happen. On the other hand, leading the NFL with 8.8 yards per attempt is a good way to go 5-0.
That's a ridiculous argument. That 49er team was already great when Smith went down. They had one of top offensive lines and a loaded defense. They were as good a team as there was in the NFL. I think Smith was near the top of the league in QBR when he got injured. You cannot compare the two. Garrapolo's talent is immense. He didn't even play that well on Sunday and he still looked good. Just imagine if he had Garcon and another decent receiver. He's amazing. You can argue that he's not playing with any pressure, but it's hard to ignore some of the prodigious throws he makes. It's hard to believe the Patriots would throw away such an obvious talent for a second round pick.
John Black the Kaepernick stats are from 2016, not 2012.
Nick Paradies Yeah I know. I realized that when I saw the clip again on another channel. Ehhh, it's still a bad argument because many of those yards came about because they were down by a few touchdowns and he had to throw. Plus he still had decent receivers. Not they don't now, but a couple of rookies. Three actually. The Niners haven't been running the ball either. He's impressive man. I knew he was good, but I didn't expect this. I like Kaepernick, but he can't throw like this guy.
John Black The argument isn't that Kaepernick is better than Jimmy G or even as good. The argument is he is a competent quarterback who was negated a chance to work in the NFL because of his powerful stand on police brutality. You can't tell me Kaepernick isn't better than at least 10-15 of the clowns who started some games in the NFL this year. And if you want to give me the argument Kaepernick didn't win much of those 6 games, you'll realize his team was tanking because it was trash.
Jorge E. Dussán Kaepernick is not good enough to be a starter in the league. You think any team would want to sign him as a backup with all that baggage?
He was horrible on third downs, never developed into a pocket passer, and is 4-20 in his last 24 starts in the league. And if you are going to blame coaching, your argument is invalid because he lost 4 of his his last 5 starts with Harbaugh too while posting grotesquely inefficient numbers.
Kap is a backup at best. The baggage he brings makes team unwilling to take a chance on a 30 year old with a firm ceiling and a very low floor.
You literally just confirmed what he stated with what you said. GJ shooting your own foot.
Love your point nick!!!!!!!
A man whose career average completion percentage of 52% 212 tds 210 ints and averaged an astounding 166 yards a game starting in a 168 games was an MVP, 4x SB champion 2x SB MVP and a 1st ballot HOF
His Name Was Terry Bradshaw
From the same guy that said: "Get yourself a fall guy"...
Didn't Kaepernick throw like 4 picks against against the Bears last year??
no he threw 4 all year
Raul Villanueva ah you're right he threw for 4 yards in that game
Bryan Uhl - 4 yards in 3 quarters of play. Not sure which is worse
Only 5 attempts tho. Still bad
Jack League it was a snow blizzard game where he just came off 3 surgeries. He threw 4 passes and they sat him down til the following week. Tell the whole story
A QB is like a used car, do you buy it based on a nice paint job or the whole package? Those stats are a nice paint job, inspiring your team, the fans, and getting the W's that's the whole package. Someone forgot to explain that to Kaep.
There are intangibles to players. Can they inspire their teammates? Can they lead the offense? Jimmy G came into a new system whereas Kaep was in his for years. How many of those games did The Niners win? etc. etc.
People talking about QB Wins b/w JG and Kap are stupid. When people bring that up, they also need to take into account that records are a team statistic meaning defense and special teams play a part too. When Kap played the defense of SF was ranked 32nd in the league in yards and points allowed (dead last). When JG played the defense was ranked 8th in least yards allowed and 6th in least points allowed. Last time i checked QBs dont play defense.
Do I think Kap is better than JG? Of course not but to sit here and say Kap is scrub or not good enough to play in league is bogus, and this is exactly the point Nick is making.
eyeofthetiger00 exactly. Wins and losses aren't only on the QB. Jimmy G has a better coaching staff. when Colin has a good coach, he made it to a super bowl and 3 consecutive playoff appearances and 2 NFC championship games. When Keap had a good Coach (Other than seattle) His team was the most dominant team in the NFC. Even Aaron Rodgers lost to him in the playoffs.
Jr Hunter I was just going to reply the same thing but u said it even better than I could have.
Ken Cranston yeah, it's a big jump from harbaugh or shanahan (really good coaches) and then going to CHIP KELLY
Don't think so I know I watched for about 38 years but that doesn't matter watching isn't playing I also played the game not pro's but I know when I see a great player
Kaeps last year was when the defense was 32nd. He played longer than 1 year for SF
What was kaps record his last 2 years as a starter? On this same team (better team) that jimmy g just won 4 in a row with?
Jared Flanery the team was definitely worse last year and the defense was way worse
Jared Flanery kap just had the better roster around him and garoppolo was taking over the 1-10 full of rookies team
Tony Ambrose how were they “definitely” worse. This team was 1-10 before garoppolo started a game. Unless you’re the browns there isn’t a worse than that.
Tony Ambrose not really, especially since most of the team was on IR this season
Kyle Shannon is the difference and the defense was way better this year
one guy was 5-0 and the other was 0-5, that seems like an important stat
Chicago PD has replaced police vehicle sirens with the national anthem to get suspects to stop running and take a knee.
How many games did kap win in the last 6 games. Stats can be misleading
dyl flah- They didn't lose because of him though
Those stats aren't misleading. If you're suggesting Colin lacked the ability to win games then I'll remind you that he went to 1 Superbowl and 2 NFC title games. I'll also remind you that the coaching staff changes play a big role in a teams success
dyl flah He played good he can’t play both sides of the ball 🤷🏻♂️ 49ers were also ar a worse spot talent wise when Kaep played than they are now.
Also, i watch the 49ers A LOT. I watched every game of Kaepernicks last 2 years. To say that O LINE was mediocre would be an understatement. They were PATHETIC. I mean Seattle pathetic. Kaep had to pretty much scramble the whole game. Jimmy G does not have this problem thankfully.
Bortles had great stats in 2015, but mostly in garbage time. Stats can mislead all the time.
Nick is just trying to prove that Kaep belongs in the N.F.L .
Jeff m he does. he’s better than any qb the browns have. the texans started Tom Savage this year after Watson went down smh we can keep going on and on. what about Josh Mcown for the jets😂
They thought 125 million was high.. 😂😂😂
The Kaep-Jimmy G comparison neglects that under Kaepernick in those 6 games, the 49ers were 1-5, while under Jimmy G they were 5-1. The other players didn't play for Kaepernick, they play for Garoppolo.
Stop it lmfao
Not ready to call him a great qb
tomascro, Jimmy G is winning games with lesser talent than Kaepernick had. And he had to learn the offense in two weeks. Already is better than Kaepernick.
Josh Norris bruh he has beaten one good team the jags and has a better sporting cast than kap and a way better coach I know he hasn’t been there for long but it evens out. Jimmy isn’t great yet and him being better that kap isn’t saying much since kap isn’t in the NfL
Lmao did he say already better??? Dam did yall forget Kap went to the superbowl. I love Jimmy but he has to make it to the postseason 1st.
josh woodburn, when Kaepernick went that roster was loaded. Not even a niners fan and it's hard to argue against just how much better Jimmy makes that team.
Josh Norris We'll see
Original source for this argument is Tanya Ray Fox for USA TODAY Sports Media Group: usat.ly/2DGFI78
Kap should be on a team most definitely no doubt
If this is madden ill take colin all day.
Prescott Tv not me ! I've played with Jimmy the last 3 weeks on Madden and he is way better than Colin
Tony Randall ya right now because he hasnt been in the league but in his prime colin was almost unstoppable.
Prescott Tv
He isn't in his prime.
MG23 hahahahahahaha! Right on brother!
Isaiah Singletary i do not hate kapernick. Hate is a strong word. I disliked what he did. I believe the word " Hate" much like "your racist" are used wayyyyy to much! For scenarios that don't merit them! For instance. Kapernick gets fired! No team scoops him up? A few people start yelling racist owners! He has freedom of speech after all. No . Not when your on the clock for an employer. You sign a work contract stating you will uphold the good image of the NFL and its teams. if you don't? Well there is consequences! In short you're FIRED kapernick!
What Jimmy G did for this franchise in these last 4 games reversed everything Kap did to this franchise in his last year. That alone is worth 25M/yr.
Jimmy G, if you need someone to negotiate your contract just holler! Lol I'll do it for 2% of the contract value.
BiGjUNE I will be ok with 0.5%
Viktor Lipovka lol wouldn't we all
TheNorthwood20 ?
BiGjUNE i still say kap better
Dream Big Reaves it's a free country fam! You can say what you want. Lol Jimmy G's reads n release are far more superior. These are facts not opinion.. it's on film. Kap only better in victory formation.
Those stats don’t compare 3rd down conversions.
Kaepernick and Garoppolo are completely different quarterbacks. Nick Wright should watch tape of both games.
Haha the only people who say stuff like this never watched Kaepernick. I am a huge niner fan, watched every single game since I was born and I am at every home game. Terrible thrower and constantly missed people. Jimmy G's throws are rarely ever inaccurate. Nitpicking stats can always be misleading. Compare Jimmy G next FULL season with Kaepernick's WHOLE last season. It won't even be close. Kaepernick ended the season at 59% completion percentage and 189 yards per game with only 2,240 total yards. You think Kaepernick would've put up 44 on the #1 defense in the league with an o line missing 3 starters, one of which was a guard playing tackle for the 1st time. Come on. How does Nick Wright even have a job? But like I said ACTUALLY WATCH a full of season of both. You will see the massive differences in accuracy and going through reads. Kaepernick couldn't even move around the pocket.
Michael Gibson i see you don’t have the iq level to take in what he’s saying
Devante Smith They lost that game. That wasn't a comeback.
Btw, did you see the next week when he had 4 passing yards through 3 quarters? Yeah, probably not.
lo blo No, he does. Kaepernick is a terrible quarterback who is a fringe backup at best. Watch him play and you can see why.
Devante Smith haha they lost that game. For god sakes suh chased him down to end the game
I noticed he didn't put up 3rd down stats ,sacks or yards per completions. Not to mention win loss records
Nick Leal because win loss isn’t a stat you can put on a qb that’s the teams and getting sacked is less the qbs fault and more of the lines and receivers not getting open
zane brown nope, look at how many times Jimmy G is able to get the ball out as he's getting hit. Also his scramble ability is leagues better than Kaepernick's.
zane brown quarterbacks get judged on winning and losing, fair or not. It determines how we look at Romo and Rivers vs Brady and Montana. They also get graded on sacks if they hold the ball too long or do not find the open receiver/right read. Kaepernick was well known for being a one read then run quarterback that fumbled 9 times in 2016 which totally disorganized the offense.
What's the point? The stats weren't there to prove Kap was better than Jimmy or the other way around. The whole point of the stats were to show that Kap stats being in the same ball park as Jimmy Q should get him a job in the NFL.
zane brown No, it absolutely is a stat you can pin on a quarterback. Jimmy Garopppolo brought a 1-10 team to 5 straight wins because of his skills and leadership. Kaepernick has never been able to make anybody around him better. His 4-20 record in his last 24 starts confirms that.
Nick Fole own the best 11 game stretch in NFL history. Nick Foles should be highest paid QB in NFL.
$137 😂😂😂"five years $125m high"?? LoL LMAO
(He's glad you're NOT his agent 😉)
Lol that's misleading
Jose Luis Rodriguez how? The numbers are lying?
i think its due to a few factor, How did both of them control the clock, how did jimmy win every single game? How were they on their feet, hows the footwork, how did the throws look. How were the plays and audibles, how well did he scramble? Jimmy G is the better quarterback
they would have to be under the same system to even look at those factors and provided the same players and coaching staff a lot changed not just the QB
Only..... your Kaepernick stats are wrong per NFL.com, they're actually lower. Particularly his yds and completion percentage:
www.nfl.com/player/colinkaepernick/2495186/gamelogs
But don't let facts get in your way Nick, LOL!
NFL.com stats for Kaepernick: 1097 yds passing + 208 yds rushing = 1305 total yards
110 attempts/169 completions = 65.08%
your comparing number for 6 games, not 5 there genius. So now we're putting rush and pass yds in the same category are we? Whatever fits your narrative I guess.
110/169 is 65%
That is what they are comparing... 6 games. And yes they said total yards which would include passing and rushing yards.
I have absolutely no clue why you'd compare numbers for 6 games when Garoppolo has only played 5. Not to mention Jimmy G is not even a running QB so rush yards in this debate is irrelevant; But like I said....don't let the facts get in your way my friend.
Nick Wright out here for once being right. #FAXX
3:00. They need violin music.
Kap lead the Niners to a Superbowl,When Jimmy G does this then he will be better then Kap,right now its to early to call.
the truth Kap didn't do much after Harbaugh left. Garrapolo doing fine without Belichick.
the truth * that defense led them to a Superbowl!
the truth they had a top 3 defense and a great coach leading the way. Kaepernick was a novelty exposed after a season of tape.
Being serious right here. I would love for my Patriots to go out and sign Kap to back up Brady this next season. Give Kap's skill and talent to Belichick and watch that man blossom. Would be a great move by Belichick.
It could be great but then again, there's nobody more opposed to outside influences in the locker room than Belichick.
The guy has a long history of getting rid of people he thought were a distraction and pretty much only cares about football.
That and the fact that new england's higher management is among the most conservative in the league makes me believe it won't happen.
Ryan Petley no!
It would never happen. It would be too ironic. Kap is literally perceived as 'unpatriotic'.
Isn't free speech a conservative ideal?
Free speech is only acceptable when its at time and place and method that is approved by conservatives
Kap being with the 49ers for years has nothing to do with anything. It was a different JC that year
It wasn't like Kap was in the same system for all of those years.
Nick Wright is almost as bad as Max Kellerman
But Kaepernick ran alot, jimmy can throw
so can Kap
anthony lovett He has a big arm, but zero touch
Kap cannot throw...
Kap played Alex Smith football in 2016. That was why he had pretty efficiency stats, but a measly 6.8 yards per pass and only 17.5 points per game in his last 6 starts. It's LOSING football to throw short of the first down every time because you lack the down field accuracy to convert the third down. Jimmy G was the exact opposite. He threw down the field and converted third downs. Furthermore, three of his interceptions bounced off the hands of his receivers. But the bottom line is, Kap played run run pass PUNT football, while Jimmy G consistently converted third and longs. That is why he is better, and that is why the 49ers averaged 28.5 points per game with him at QB.
That was kaepernick after many seasons this was garopollo in his first proper 6 games
Jimmy G only played 5 games in the NFL and has this huge contract. He looks great but look how quickly Kap is thrown under the jail and Jimmy is lifted so quickly. Kap went to the Super Bowl his 2nd year in the league.Wow!
Kapernick to new england
