Colin Kaepernick throws for 3 TD as 49ers pummel Redskins, 27-6. It's San Fran's first win in North America since Week 7.

This was the first time in RGIII career as a college or pro QB in which his team's offense didn't score a TD

Liking the look of the Skins. Pretty listless and hopeless. Like they have quit on Shanny. They'll need to trade Cousins before the draft imo

Trent Dilfer is a great analyst when it comes to the QB position, same with Steve Young.

steve young made a great point about the backs. i just dont understand it. i've seen plays the last few weeks where he is literally looking at the backs wide open and doesn't check it down.... i don't get it

When they told me I had cancer—a very rare form called appendiceal cancer—I was shocked. But I went straight into battle mode. Every morning I'd wake up and have an internal conversation with cancer. "All right, dude," I'd tell it, "go ahead and hit me. But I'm going to hit you back even harder."

That was in 2007, and I beat it. My cancer went into remission.

It came back in 2011, and I fought it and beat it again.

It recently came back a third time. To be honest, I'm scared. I've always been afraid of cancer, but this time feels different. My confidence is shaken. I'm a little more vulnerable, a little more aware of my mortality, a little more uncertain about my future. All of which just means I depend on my post-chemo workouts even more.

RG3 wasn't a runner at Baylor, some designed runs but nothing fancy, typical zone read stuff to keep D honest, but he was a gun QB which brings with it a host of problems when you enter the pros.

Mainly, poor footwork and how do you pair a downhill run game with a shotgun pass scheme. The later isn't as hard for some coaches, don't ask me the why's and how's because I'm not smart enough, seems to me that some teams/coaches can draw up a good run game out of gun. Even the Pats haven't been able to mesh a good run game out of the gun, they go under center and do a pretty good job of it when they do.

So Shanny goes out and finds his solution, the Pistol. It was exactly what Shanny wanted, maintain downhill zone block scheme in singleback alignment or even use a FB/TE in a pro style set, while keeping PA boot action in play. It had worked for Ault, why not use it? You could keep the backside honest with option plays, heck you could option front side too, zone blocking, and power as well.

All your runs are there, you can hide your QBs footwork issues for a bit, tons of ballhandling/playaction to misdirect defenses, and your QB keeps the gun perspective. All well and good, until your QB starts to get hit over and over and over and over. Used his legs to get you into the playoffs, now he looks 60% of what he was when running the football.

He's falling off throws, footwork is sloppy, sick of taking hits, can't read defenses because the PA stuff isn't as effective when they're not scared of the QB ripping off a 40 yarder....

Not sure why I wrote all that...Life and death of RG3....

Yeah that one play IIRC in the second quarter where he threw a ball that was a dropped pick, he looked right at his RB, it would`ve been a first down but he didn`t make the throw for whatever reason.

If you guys had a back like Jahvid Best or Reggie Bush, and Kap could make those checkdowns it would help your offense a ton.

Kap has a horrible habit of staring down one receiver and not going through his checkdowns.

Stafford goes through his reads accordingly and this year has learned to not take sacks and checkdown or get rid of the ball. Kap doesn`t grasp that yet because if his receivers aren`t open he panics and decides to scramble. He can be coached on that though. His awkward pitching throwing motion, IDK about that though.

I thought RG3 looked ok when he was sitting in the pocket. But once it broke down, forget about it. And it broke down a lot tonight.

Steve Young is legit too, both of them ex 49ers quarterbacks too lol. Really though i was pissed when i heard Dilfer say Kap was talking crap, then Dilfer showed the tape.... Niners need to hire this man as QB coach.

I can't tell if the Jets can't develop QBs or they just draft the wrong ones

Yeah, his OL didn't help him much.

I really like RG, but he's starting to feel sorry for himself, starting to make excuses. He's taken some vicious hits, but some of it is his own doing. I hated his reaction after the Whitner int. Get up dude, I know you got popped but get up, get your head out of the dirt. Been doing it often this season, maybe I'm being too judgmental though.

PS The Bills play a home game this week.....IN TORONTO. Some of the best home field in the league and we can't take advantage of it in November, bahahaha.
