Problem with Kaep's low int % is he may not be able/allowed to run wild in future games. And when that happens he becomes just another pocket passer that defenses may eat alive. I know the Jet's D would destroy Kaep if he was immobile for one reason or another. Plus he's very immature and throws everybody under the bus every chance he gets.
I don't understand your scenario where Kap is terrific in 2015 and the rest of the Niners team is terrible. Even if that were to happen, as hard as it is to find a quality QB, why in the world would the Niners trade Kap? They'd keep him and rebuild around him. With their QB in place, the turnaround would happen very quickly. Without him, it could be a decade before they were a playoff team again.
All the more reason to hold on to him. Do you enjoy selling low and buying high? That's how suckers trade.
You are right, slim chance if any. There is no realistic scenario that would precipitate a trade with a high pick for him in 2016. Kap either stays or is declared expendable or a bust in which case someone might pick him up on the fly without much trade compensation at all.
Not for Mo and a first.... not the way Kaepernick has tail spinned. and not next year. I'd give a future pick for him this year. to maximize how far this team with alot of 30+ year olds can go.
If Kap is a true franchise Qb then the 49ers won't trade him. Even for Wilk. Sure he's a lot better than Geno. But not worth a package like that. They can have Geno and a 3rd round pick.
This is most likely correct. Mo is looking for a huge deal and yet he has never had a huge season to go alongside those expectations. He had 10.5 sacks 2 years ago but he's never been in double digits in any of the 3 other seasons he started for the Jets. Any team acquiring Mo in a trade is going to have to reconcile his lack of superstar production with his demands for a superstar deal. That doesn't mean he isn't a very good player but teams go bust paying very good players like superstars all the time, usually in free agency. On the Kaepernick side: he does have fairly large guarantees due him moving forward. The overall cap numbers are low though for a franchise QB and will stay low for the length of the deal from the Jets perspective. They'd have a cap number of either $10.4M or $12.4M this year depending on when Kaepernick's roster bonus came due. Then $14.3M in 2016, $16.5M in 2017, $17M in 2018 (only $5.2M of which is fully guaranteed if the Jets decided to part ways with Kaepernick at that point), then the non-guaranteed years of 2019 at $19.2M and 2020 at $21.4M. That's a bargain deal if Kaepernick turns out to be the real thing. The question is: does Kaepernick have the goods to start for the Jets for the next 5 years or so?
I'd be very interested in this deal, $$-wise. From contract standpoint: Jets give: proven good / from position already stacked (no need) / player wants too much $$ Jets receive: OK, maybe good / to position of extreme need / signed for OK $$ My problem would be additional picks. I would not give 1st, maybe 2nd, 3rd for sure.
