NFL (49ers) Off Season : Kaepernick Trade Rumors

Absurdity.  If it’s true, it is absolute absurdity.  I guess, even if it’s not true, then it’s still absolute absurdity.

While my trust in Baalke/York is not as high as it once was, I can’t imagine that they’d be shopping our only QB — especially, a talented-albeit-young QB.  ESPECIALLY, with this rumor that we’re interested in Brian Hoyer instead.  REALLY? Brian Hoyer? No intended disrespect to him, but an older, less versatile, and less accomplished QB??  I know that there are a lot of people who are not fans of Kaepernick or who do not evaluate him appropriately, but are there any folks who think that Hoyer is a better option?  Because I sure don’t.

We have* to cut Gabbert and may-or-may-not keep Johnson, however, unless Johnson is the real-life Willie Beamen – that doesn’t bode well for us.

*We have to cut Gabbert (or get his price way down) because he was making more than a back up should make. I thought that was a bad signing when it happened.  Unless, it was solely to put pressure on Kaepernick’s people to keep his price low.  If, that was the case, then I guess it was worth it….unless you end up trading Kaepernick a season later, that is, haha.

The only way that a Kaepernick trade makes ANY sense, is if we are blowing this up.  Which would 100% contradict the message of “reloading, not rebuilding” that has been toted since Harbaugh got fired.  I was reading some article that suggested the hypothetical of Dan Snyder, or someone else (but probably Dan Snyder), making another RG3-esque trade that would be tough to turn down.  For example, if the plan is to blow things up, then trading Kaepernick for an ungodly amount of either 1st round picks or top-level talent, then tanking the season for a good Draft position on our own, would be the only way that the Kaepernick trade makes any sense.

However, by doing that, you further alienate a fan base that already is distrustful and upset with the Front Office.  Choose your path carefully, Baalke/York.  #GoNiners
