he got a partial scholarship offer to Notre Dame after the Irish were intrigued by his 92 mph fastball and two no-hitters during his senior year.

…and with PEDs, maybe he gets that fastball up to 93-96…

/I keed, I keed

I said Hasheem Thabeet would be the next Mutombo…

Oh, what might have been. I thought so too.

So the point here is that we should’ve heard more about Kaep and he should’ve received more scholarship offers in the 2005 because in 2013 he will be playing in the super bowl? ok got it

FACTCHECK!!!!

Colins 10th start will be the Super Bowl. You stated he has already started 10 games and the Super Bowl will be his 11th start. Sorry Hans, wrong guess!

Jck49er was right about needing secondary help. If the smiths don’t get to flacco like they didn’t get to ryan unibrow throws for 300 and at least 2td

The Niners secondary is not that bad – it’s easy to look that bad when you’re getting absolutely no pressure, at all.

That idiot Pete Prisco kept referring to the Niners defense being overrated because they have the 30th lowest sack rate in the NFL, but part of that is by design: I would guess the Niners blitz less than any other NFL team. As a result, they give up fewer big plays.

I still choose to believe that Joey Harrington was the victim of the teams he played for and had true Pro Bowl talent there to be molded

A buddy of mine never lets me forget I said all that either. In other news, I liked Mirer over Bledsoe and Leaf over Manning too.

I guess because you only watch Notre Dame games. This guy was a huge deal for both of his last 2 seasons. A huge deal. Everybody knew his name (but you)

This guy and his coach were all the buzz among the football junkie set.

Considering the hard-on this site’s got for Boise State you’d think he’d remember the guy who helped derail that one team’s run to the championship game, unless history has rewritten it to where the FG kicker was solely responsible

Why else would goal posts have microphones attached to them?

While in college, Kaepernick didn’t draw much attention from the NFL “pundits,”
(JMac today)
All the pundits love Kaepernick, and if he’s as good as advertised, the 49ers could win the division.
(JMac after the draft in 2011)

“Pretty elite for a third-rounder who was an unknown coming out of college.”

(JMac 2012)

I’m getting a lot of run out of that one post from 2011.

Also, apologies to Broccoli Beef for calling him a niner fan…I know he lives in the Bay Area, but forgot he likes his peen grey.

Piazza:

the Miami-Dade Community College student was drafted by the Dodgers in the 62nd round of the 1988 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft as the 1,390th player picked overall in the draft

43rd round = salivating? Sounds more like a “we have to take someone” sort of pick.

if you’re pressing a storyline that the 37th pick in the draft is somehow a forgotten guy when a team traded up to get him, you have to give that story some ancillary facts.

Colin Kaepernick, virtual unknown that nobody believed in, could have been anything he wanted, but he wanted to be a quarterback. But no NFL team believed he could. The whole first night of the draft he sat with an open bible at the tattoo parlor, pointing out inscriptions to numb the pain in his mind…
