We were able to abuse teams with that as they struggled to figure out a way to counter it. History would tell us that overtime they will start to progress against it a bit. And while Kaep has proved he is more than capable of being a Pocket Passer, he has not shown the ability to beat the all out blitz...nor extreme pressure. He has also shown that he struggles to read defenses and who will be open in the redzone. But then again he has only faced 3 good defenses IMO, and he lost to all 3 (St. Louis, Seattle, Ravens)
Now we are more than capable of getting there again, but obviously it is way to early to talk about it IMO |
I strongly disagree. With Kaep, there is very little to "figure out". Same with the read-option. The read option is a miniscule part of the pistol offense and in my opinion, it is more like a play action than anything. The defense is confused insofar as: Is he going to pull it and throw, or is he going to hand it off and is Gore/Hunter/James/Dixon going to smash us in the chops?"
The Pistol is genius, giving the QB the freedom of the shotgun while still allowing the running back forward momentum at a handoff. Designed runs aren't something that will be a staple for Kaep--or at least they shouldn't be. The Green Bay game was an anomale---they let him run so SF kept doing it.
The better course is to run the pistol, have a couple-three read option plays per game, but let Kaep tuck and run if there is no open bodies down field.
With the offense getting away from dipping and dunking 5 yards down the field, there is NOBODY from the line of scrimmage to 15 yards down the field, because all our receivers are going 10+ so he has room to run (like in the Super Bowl. 60+ yards on 7 carries---most were not designed run plays but him scrambling.)
I think the whole notion of our offense being based off a read option is absurd---and I like that other teams think that because they are wrong.
As far as struggling to read defenses, he does a decent job thus far of audibling based on what he reads pre-snap, but the rest will come with a full-course off season and more reps methinks. |

I'm sure if odds makers put out a line today we would be the favorites. That said, a whole lot can go wrong along the way. I think we have the best chance, but the probability is likely well below 50%.
