You may be alone in that Athos. I don't want anybody who made the idea of starting Blaine Gabbert seem like a smart idea post 2011.
At least Kaepernick can run. Yeah he is Foles bad when throwing, but he can run the read option wildcat stuff for us.

Running the wildcat exclusively is bad idea. The Dolphins made it popular, but then everyone started trying it so defenses learned how to defend it and then it ran out of gimmicky power.

Daniel is coming up and I doubt the Chiefs put too much effort into reupping him, why not give the Mizzou boy a try? And that's not just bias speaking.

I agree, but right now a gimmicky offense is better than ours. Long term it would be horrid.

I'd give Chase a shot, but I would have a first round or second round pick competing with him.

Fair enough, I just hate gimmicky offenses because for me it's just when the team has admitted defeat and is pretty much saying, "We're not a good football team, but we are a good distraction."

Me too, let him, Mannion and whoever we pick up to duke it out in training camp, winner takes the position.

Totally agree with everything you've said.

Perspective: Since week 7..The entire NFL is better at converting 4th and 15 or more.. (20%), than the Rams are on 3rd and anything (17%)
Trey Wingo

If we tried going for it on 4th and 15, it would probably be a draw play, or a WR screen at the LOS. This teams is just clueless as how to play offense.

... when by Friday you've rationalized and regained some hope, but Sunday afternoon you are once again angry, let down, depressed and demoralized.

You know the sad thing was I wasn't sad, angry, or depressed after this one. I had no emotion.

When you know that we'd be better with Tebow at QB!

And plus 1000 on Chase Daniel!

When the best QB play you've had all year came when you were in the Wildcat.

Or when the best QB play was during a fake punt!

When the Bengals go up 10 nothing early and you correctly predict that's enough to win the game. :palm:

When it prompts threads about how bad your offense is.

When a thread like this goes on for 3 pages and it does not upset you, in fact makes you laugh. A lot of creative people in this group or maybe there is just a lot to work with lol

When you start thinking if the D players could feasibly play both offence and defence just so you don't have to watch the offence

When the offense takes the field you flip over to C-SPAN to see if anything exciting happens.

When the fox announcers call your offense pathetic, and ill with no sense of urgency. :'(
