Thoughts?

Seems about in line for a franchise QB, he hasn't proved himself fully yet but I think in the long run it should be worth it. Just a question of keeping some of the talent around him with that deal done.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

As a 49er fan, I have mixed emotions.

On one hand, I think the future is wide open with Kaep. He has immense talent, and will only get better. On the other hand, that is a lot of money for one player...

 

[Gnomey]

True, I agree with you. However the more the details of the deal come out the better for the team its seems (and Kaep if he meets the targets).

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeah from what I have seen it is a very team friendly contract that is structured so that that very little of it actually counts against the cap space. It is mostly incentive based.

 

[javlin]

Saints pulled it out for there opener in preseason game Griffin's QB rating 107,Ingram 8/83 10.4 new guy Cooks 5/55 in receiving.I had to listen on the radio when I could at work but the flag for intentional grounding with 11s caught me by surprise.It cost the Rams the game methinks.

 

[Gnomey]

God help us if the 9ers backups have to start. That being said they did OK. Must be said I'm following Okoye closely given the British connection. The improvement from last year is clear to see, would be great to see him make the team but I think practice squad this year hopefully if he clears waivers and then who knows the potential is clear to see, especially compared to what I saw from Clowney in the Texans game.

Jonny 'Football' wasn't bad last night. Still don't think he'll start the season but I reckon that will be better for him in the long term.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeah one thing we learned in week 1, is that Gabbert sucks. If Kaep goes down we are screwed.

 

[Njaco]

I think my Eagles should take the Division If Foles is anything near or better than he was last year, we should go deep in the Playoffs.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I think Foles will take a step back actually. Not that he is not going to be a good QB, but a little regression is expected.

 

[Njaco]

2 pre season games and he didn't impress. You may be right

 

[Messy1]

I haven't been paying attention to the preseason games so far this year, last few years the 49ers have not done too hot in preaseason, so I usually end up only watching during he actual season.

 

[Messy1]

And I did not reallly need proof about my post right above this one about the 49ers not doing good in the preseason, but thanks to them for the 34-0 loss to the Broncos yesterday to prove my point.

 

[GrauGeist]

Looks like RGIII isn't doing well for the Skins, but Cousins has proven himself many times over so if RGIII falls by the wayside, there is a solid backup

This already looks like it's going to be an interesting season

 

[Messy1]

RG3 looked impressive his rookie year, but last year coming back from the knee issue, was not the same guy.

 

[Torch]

My Bronco's are looking real good but it's the last game that counts....

 

[GrauGeist]

RG3 looked impressive his rookie year, but last year coming back from the knee issue, was not the same guy.

It looks to me, like his success has gone to his head, sadly enough...
