DA M.I.A IS WHERE I STAY
Is anyone REALLY surprised? If I'm Cam Wake, Im probably thanking this team at least gave me money instead of competitiveness....
That's the key IMHO. Nobody likes to hear it, and obviously Gase's ego is too big to admit it, but we weren't doing anything once Ryan went down. In fact, looking at this defense lately I think it's safe to say we weren't doing anything with Ryan. The best bet was to keep the offense the same so the young players who will be here will continue to grow in it. It would be foolish to bring in Kap, change the offense to fit one guy and still not win anything. In the end what do you really gain, as finheaven would say if you win a few more you just ruin draft status.
Gase’s ego will be his undoing.
Honestly, the only good thing about all of this is that at least Devante Parker is getting time to develop in the offense. He's also getting enough practice fighting for contested footballs.
What would this offense look like with Kaepernick?
DVP Contested catch rate is 75% on 12 targets which is 4th in the NFL. DVP is also one of the few WRs with no drops.
He's improved on it this year, IMO. He has the talent, but I think a lot of it was just having the aggressive mentality to go along with it.
The way he carries himself and attacks the football looks different this year. Good stuff.
Unfortunately he's limited by QB play this season.
