Ato Boldon on Colin Kaepernick: "He's a freak in the same way that Usain Bolt is a freak."

The Atlanta Falcons will beat the San Fransisco 49ers on sunday.

He definitely is. Amazing athlete. And I'm no sprinting expert, but I too noticed that he had good mechanics when I was watching the SF vs GB game the other night. Particularly when he ran that touchdown in from about 20 yards out. He's not just talented. He knows how to run.

4.53 40y at the combine with a 37 wonderlic and a 32"+ vertical.

I think Johnny Manziel is more amazing, with equal speed and agility and better passing skills.

Actually, yeah. Manziel is off the charts.

And is Colin's vert really only 32". I mean, I know 32" is a decebt jump, but I would think his would be higher.

37 on the wonderlic is exceptional.

I think you are probably right, and sadly for me I am a 49er fan.

ATL has the home field advantage.

The national sport media has all be uniformly calling for a 49er blow out.

Totally crazy.

1. Kaepernick is going into his 9th game. Yeah, he had a break out game / second half against GB. Other than that he has trended down stats wise since his first start. AND, he is too hyper, hasn't adjusted his passes to the NFL...tons of mistakes in his passes. Lacks consistent touch passes, line drives instead of arcs/air under his long passes.

2. Most of his running came off scrambles, last week, that could be okay in ATL, but only a dumb coach would let him not be covered in this game on read option plays.

3. Justin Smith, still injured, has to get more pressure on ATL's excellent passer.

3b. Caveat...the 49ers have played well against elite QB's of late.

4. 49ers don't have enough receivers. 2 are out for the year.

PS, 49ers bad center, 4 bad snaps per game, Harbaugh bad clock management...and basically an unclassy d-bag kind of guy. (I'd rather his older brother were the 49ers coach.)

Anyway, the rest is why they play the games.

What was scary about that, is with coaching, he could actually be better.

Uhm, no.

And if Chip Good-Bye Kelly planned smarter game against Stanford, you'd know why.

Marcus Mariota was a near perfect passer for all but two games, Stanford, and the Fiesta Bowl.

And he is a redshirt Freshman.

Who does Mariota look like physically?

Kaepernicks little brother.

And he is a play alike too.

He gets his passing consistency together for every game...he's going to win a Heisman.

He runs like a good 400 runner. Great balance and square. Always over his power.

And no comparison to Johnny Football. Who is a tiny guy and should be much faster than him.

But really isn't.

What are you, 15 years old or something?

If you're a male posting on this site, there is a very high probability that you have the maturity of a 15 year old (not unlike Michael Scott in "The Office").

who ever said Manziel is spot on. He actually reminds me of another Texan that never shows strain and just cruises through the finish line: a fit Jeremy Wariner as a freshman at Baylor. Smooooooooth

ATL very well could have won; glad I was wrong.

Seeing that first half tho...they looked up stoppable.

In all of the 49ers losses this year they failed to make the half time adjustments...

There season was WWL WWL WWL WWT WWL etc.

Kudos that both the DC and OC made timely adjustments.

Greg Roman, the OC had been very uneven this year, and now WOW he made the proper adjustments in the first half / 3rd series.

Now we get the media hype misery of "The HarBowl."

Geeze.

And for the 49ers another tough opponent.

I just hope Jack doesn't have a favorite son he's breaking down film for the next few weeks.

John (the elder) is the smarter, classier brother, so...Ravens probably win it.

Jim is move emotional, lapses in thinking, calls, judgment...meaning bad clock management etc.

There were two teams, of course they might have won.

But they didn't and you prognostications are worth nothing.

Change your name. You can't post here anymore with credibility.

Is Colin white or black?
