Colin's last season with a gimmick coach who was completely figured out where his leading receivers were Jeremy Kerley and Quinton Patton and he was actually playing hurt:
| No. | Player | Age | Pos | G | GS | QBrec | Cmp | Att | Cmp% | Yds | TD | TD% | Int | Int% | Lng | Y/A | AY/A | Y/C | Y/G | Rate | QBR | Sk | Yds | NY/A | ANY/A | Sk% | 4QC | GWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Colin Kaepernick | 29 | QB | 12 | 11 | 1-10-0 | 196 | 331 | 59.2 | 2241 | 16 | 4.8 | 4 | 1.2 | 65 | 6.8 | 7.2 | 11.4 | 186.8 | 90.7 | 49.5 | 36 | 207 | 5.54 | 5.92 | 9.8 | 1 | 1 |
Mitch's current season with the reigning coach of the year while passing to Robinson, Miller and Gabriel:
| No. | Player | Age | Pos | G | GS | QBrec | Cmp | Att | Cmp% | Yds | TD | TD% | Int | Int% | Lng | Y/A | AY/A | Y/C | Y/G | Rate | QBR | Sk | Yds | NY/A | ANY/A | Sk% | 4QC | GWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | Mitchell Trubisky | 25 | QB | 11 | 11 | 6-5-0 | 230 | 361 | 63.7 | 2196 | 13 | 3.6 | 7 | 1.9 | 53 | 6.1 | 5.9 | 9.5 | 199.6 | 84.4 | 43.4 | 26 | 154 | 5.28 | 5.13 | 6.7 | 1 | 1 |
The numbers are similar, but Colin was better at both QB Rating and QBR. Let's not forget that SF team was horrible from coaches to surrounding talent. You may not like Colin for whatever reason you choose, but to say it's an apples to apples comparison is just not true.

Not compared to Mitch last full season which is what your looking at for Kap. This one isn't over yet. Make it their last 2 years and Mitch's numbers are much better. Do I think Colin would be worse? I have no idea and he may be a better overall QB but I don't think he's a great fit for this O so why bother? The #s are close enough either way to render the proposal moot. I've said before that I don't think he's a destination for Nagy so doing this would only disrupt whatever little chemistry is there.

I want to add one more item. The question is:
"Would you be upset if the Bears signed Colin Kaepernick?"
Based on my responses I'd like to see him play again, but I have some unique perspective. If this same poll came out about Mike Vick before the Eagles signed him I would have sad 'hell no'. Personally I thought his actions didn't warrant another opportunity. After seeing how humbled he was, how much effort he put towards making things right and ultimately how much he helped my team (his 2010 season might have been the most exciting of an Eagle QB).
I've been dead against giving redemption and learned there are many reasons I was wrong.

I'd like to see him play again as well if he really does want to. I just don't think this is the best landing place for him. I also don't think he needs redeeming or contrition but I do think he needs to balance his priorities toward that goal. I suspect he has already done that but his priorities are different. Nothing wrong with that either but he can't expect others to carry that load with him.

This is difficult for me. I'd be hard pressed to count on one hand people that I admire and respect more than Kaepernick. He uses his platform to promote equality and bring national and global awareness to systemic racism, oppression, and police brutality.
He's a role model and I'd love nothing more than to see him take a knee in the city that Jason Van Dyke slaughtered an unarmed teenage African American by shooting him 14 times in "self defense."
Even better if he managed to lead out beloved Bears to the promised land. Bonus points for how butt hurt ommy and all the other boomers would be.
With all of that being said, I'm not so sure he's the answer at the quarterback position, nor am I convinced that Mako Mitch can't be a franchise quarterback with a different play caller and the glaring shortcomings across the offense as an entire unit corrected.

doubt if ommy represents the so-called "boomers".

FIFY

Well for me it's more about Mitch competing and being pushed for the job.

You can compare receivers, but those are just names. Bears receivers are leading the league in drops this year.
I don't like CK to the Bears because he isn't a good QB.
You failed to mention the running game as well. Hyde averaged 4.6 yards a carry for the 9ers that year....
Montgomery is getting 3.5 yards a carry....
So while Trubisky may have better names at WR they are leading the league in drops and Trubisky is saddled with an abysmal running game, where CK had the benefit of a really good running game.

Kaepernick = Lock room cancer
Kiss any hope of a SB with him on the team. OTOH, if he were on the team the players would be well versed in Malcom X and Stalin

?.....put the jack & coke down. We're no where near the SB. Hell excluding last year how often have we won our division?
We already have a "cancer"..........it's called no commitment to winning.

I was very surprised the Bears signed Ray McDonald a couple of years ago. After that blew up in their faces I don't see them signing anyone even close to controversial.

Only a racist would bring up the color of someone’s skin when it’s totally irrelevant to this discussion.. what does being black have anything to do with qb skill?.. oh that’s right nothing .. also why would a “racist” spend their time watching a sport where the majority of the players are black?

You literally threatened to shoot Robbie Gould in the face after missing a field goal.

Yeah good point most people had no idea about Black duds getting shot by police before kap came around.. I mean its not like if a white cop shot a black guy it wanst 24/7 news coverage or anything lol
And saying Laquan McDonald was a unarmed teen is a joke. The police got called because he was trying to break into peoples cars and actually threatened someone with a knife. And when the cops showed up he just ignored them while running around with the knife still in his hand.. Thats a good way to get your dumb ass shot.
Seriously how fucking stupid do you have to be? Your surrounded by cops with there guns pointed at you and you just threatened someone with your knife you still have. whats the end goal here by not just giving up? This dumb ass thought they would just let him go? Or did he think he could take them all out with his knife? What an idiot..
So looking at this as a glass half full.. at least McDonald was removed from the gene pool, last thing society needed is a moron like that reproducing.
And that piece of shit racist cop Van Dyke is behind bars.. win win

If Mitch Trubisky struggles against Lions, should Bears consider Colin Kaepernick?
Kaepernick is 32 and has been out of the NFL for almost three years, true. But in that recent fiasco of a wacky tryout arranged by the NFL and protested by Kaepernick’s camp, he showed he still can throw deep with accuracy. Trubisky can’t.www.google.com
He hasn't been good for awhile now.
So, no.
