Are you kidding me? Didn't you know he revolutionized the entire league by dominating as a rookie and breaking every record? Especially the record for Most Poised Rookie Ever???
I felt like Kapernick was telegraphing most of his throws as well, I mean he had 1 series where he had 2 tipped and 1 almost intercepted.

We'll see how he does in the regular season, but I haven't seen much progress on his ability to go through his reads and progressions. It's hard with preseason being such a small sample size, however.

Have there been any QBs who was bad at their reads this far into their career and was able to completely turn it around?

Also stumbled across this.
Basically, unless you had some terrible extenuating circumstances like being stuck on a 1-15 team when you were drafted, there was no hope for you if you didnt improve in your first 2 years.

It seems like what you're seeing with Kaepernick is his ceiling unless they find some magical quarterback whisperer to completely retrain him.

I wish that guy had explained how he was ranking those QB's. He's got all kinds of links, but fuck if I'm going to sort through them trying to figure out how he calculated ANY/A.
Edit: I think I may have understood what he did now? Is it that 0 is 0 for the individual QB and not an average of all of them? And then +1 would be 1 extra ANY/A in the 2nd year? Or 3rd year? I dunno, he didn't explain it well enough for me still.

If math nerds could predict the future they would be making millions in Vegas and not writing articles on shitty wordpress blogs.
The O-Line was dogshit today. Hopefully it was because of the absence of Alex Boone and they can just pay him and get things straightened out. No one can go through reads if the defense is in their face 1 second after the snap. Kaep's last drive was much better after Kwame Geathers went out with an injury which probably weakened SD's pass rush.
Kaep has always had a lot of tipped balls because he throws so hard that the ball doesn't arc much. With regard to the reads, we saw him do it several times in last week's games. It's way too soon to panic. After all they started 1-2 last year and only scored 10 points total in game 2 and 3 combined but then only lost 2 more games the rest of the season.

"ANY/A*- adjusted net yards per passing attempt: (pass yards + 20*(pass TD) - 45*(interceptions thrown) - sack yards)/(passing attempts + sacks). "
Sounds like he took those numbers and then compared them with the league average during the qb's career in order to take into account different stats for different eras

Yep, that's the R, relative. I thought he explained it pretty well. I suspect people having trouble just looked at graphs and skimmed the text. Something I usually do.
