Kaepernik signs for 6/110 mill.

61 mill guranteed.

Yeah, sure he's not a great player.

Guess Harbaugh doesn't know sh&$, guess two strait conference championships, 1 Super Bowl appearance in his first two years of starting is just a mirage..

Does he need to learn how to deliver and hang in the pocket if the first read isn't there instead of being incredibly dynamic when he improvises, sure, but winning, playmaking while he's learning the nuances is what it's all about..

Great Qb, whether he's your cup of tea, whether you understand his orthodoxy as it relates to the position, stop hatin, cause you now only look silly, don't dig yourselves deeper.

Should of been ours.

In fairness, he still has to prove that he is worth that contract. His career isn't over yet.

Ot: Kaepernick record deal

Per, ESPN's NFL Insider Adam Schefter, Colin Kaeprnick's 6-year deal is worth $110+ million, per sources. Heavy guarantees, too. Record guarantees.

Tannehill will cost much when he plays great this year

The 49ers will regret this sooooo much in a few years I think, when Kap's wheels are lessened. Without his speed and quickness, he's barely average.

from listening to a lot of pundits and folks saying his game would never work, to continue to say it while he's in the Super Bowl, he changed the game..

The interesting debate is how much to you ask him to be who he is, with him continuing to learn how to go to his 2nd and third reads, WITHOUT making him forget who he is.

If he can learn while being himself and gradually get better from the pocket, then he will earn every penny.

lol yikes.

49ers signed QB Colin Kaepernick to a six-year, $126 million contract extension through 2020.
It includes $61 million guaranteed. Bay Area Sports Guy had it first before NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed the money portion. Kaepernick gets $21 million annually in new money and sets the new quarterback record for guaranteed money, surpassing Peyton Manning by $3 million and Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler by $7 million. The former second-round pick was entering the final year of his rookie deal. The 49ers have been one of the most run-heavy teams in recent years. After the addition of Stevie Johnson, Michael Crabtree's return to 100 percent health, and Frank Gore's age, we expect coach Jim Harbaugh to open up the offense more in 2014. Kaepernick is currently Rotoworld's No. 13 quarterback heading into the season, but a top-six finish isn't out of the question. He's primed to explode

More than Manning, Rodgers, Brady, and Brees. Good luck with that.

Did they just do this to mess with the Seahawks? What will Wilson ask for, considering he is a superior QB?

That is a huge contract for still having an "If"

I wonder how much Wilson is going to go for.

Is this in the GM League here? :shifty:

That's insane IMO.

Wow, they way overpaid for him. I think he will prove to be average. Never been a big fan even though he runs like a fricking deer.

The guy has started a whopping 29 games. 38 passing touchdowns. Wowsers. Scott Mitchell threw more TDs in 95 than Kaep has in his regular season career. Daunte Culpepper 39 TDs in 04.

61 million guaranteed. Insane.

He's not even better than Cam Newton and Cam is barely a Top 10 quarterback..

i remember we were highly interested in him in the draft his deal is a joke he is not a good passer

Joe Flacco says thank you.....for now making him the second most overrated QB when it comes to compensation level.

Don't forget about me.
- Jay Cutler

I have been banging this drum seems forever now..........Kap is the quintessential NFL QB. Dolphins should have drafted him instead of Pouncey.

The people responsible for this enormous mistake should be ................................something Stephen Kinged.

Insane. but given how difficult it is to find a long term solution at QB, you can understand why teams are so overpaying for QBs like CKaep. it's better than the alternative (see the 15+ QBs between Marino and Tannehill).

Niners got robbed.

Teams allocate $20 million per year to the QB position when they find a worthy franchise quarterback, while simultaneously admitting that they have no shot of competing for a championship until they find a quarterback like that.

And then everyone *****es about the idea of using a high round pick on a quarterback within a certain time period after you've previously used a high pick on a quarterback. Or they ***** about New England using a 3rd round pick on Ryan Mallett and not getting anything from him, or now a 2nd round pick on Garoppolo.

Think about that. Really, really think about that, long and hard.

You should be throwing EVERY RESOURCE POSSIBLE at the quarterback position until you *know* you have a good one.

Are you suggesting the Pats dont know if Brady is good which is why they invested in the last few years a 2nd and a 3rd round pick to back him up?

Wow that's too much money for someone who isn't a top 5 QB and isn't a top-10 or even top-15 passer.

He's basically a more fortunate RG3. Better supporting cast, better coaching staff, and hasn't taken a Haloti Ngata shot to the knee. But he misses reads, doesn't anticipate much, doesn't complete a great percentage, and bails too early.

If I'm a Frisco fan I'm excited about the next year or two, and nervous about anything beyond that. They have by far the best roster in the NFL, imo. Win now, I suppose.
