I went to HS with them in New London WI. I have seen Colin play many, many times. For those of you who were wondering . . . COLIN KAEPERNICK is the TOTAL PKG. He has the stats to back him up. Also CK is Very smart, talented and humble as well. Great parents with great values!! Any NFL team will be lucky to have him. He will get the job done!!!!

For those of you unfamiliar with Kaepernick, he is very very similar to Randall Cunningham. Some of his similarities are downright freaky, all the way down to his rocket arm, release, speed, skinny build, and having played his college ball in the state of Nevada.

Kaepernick is 6’5 225, has excellent straight line speed (4.5), a great arm with a bit of a loop in his throwing motion and he’s only the second player in NCAA history to pass for 3,00 0 and rush for 1000 two years in a row. He’s also just the 3rd guy to ever pass for 20 TDs and run for 20 TDs in the same season.

I don’t think he is a guy that is going to come in and start right away, but with good coaching and a little patience, CK could be a find for a team in about two years.

Vandy didnt win much. Denver didn’t win much. Jury’s still out on Chicago. Notice a trend?

Spending their second round pick on a QB has been a sure fire way to guarantee a bust is recent years.

He has a lot of positives, damn nice kid, hard worker, tough (couldn’t have run for all those yards if he wasn’t), strong arm and he was hitting receivers on the break, his only negatives seem to be his throwing motion and the fact he was born is Wisconsin.

Actually theo547, they do have a first rounder. Nice try though. Someone an upset Seahawks fan or something? I wish my favorite team made it as far as the Bears did.

<<< Packer fan ;)

Ryan Leaf, Jeff George, and JaMarcus Russell.

Its a great assett for a QB to have, but there are things more important that a strong arm.

Lots wrong with your post. First, Cutler can scramble. Second, the Bears do have a first round draft pick this year. With that pick they will probably be picking either a wide receiver or an o-lineman, because they aren’t ignorant meatheads like everyone who is questioning Cutler’s toughness. But, everything else you said was spot on.

I came away impressed w/ the kid. He has a good demeanor on field. Looks like he commands the huddle. If he can break down an NFL level D within a year or two, he could be special. Has all the tools. Pretty quick as well.

Not goot qualities if you intend on being an NFL QB. Brad Smith plays receiver and kick returner…and was never even considered to play QB at the NFL level. He can always be the next Matt Jones…hopefully without the coke.
