He's probably not capable of starting now, but is certainly deserving of a spot on an NFL roster, because I'm sure he can be one of the better #2's in the game.
Question is would he be willing to sign as a back up for short money? If I recall that was part of the issue previously, he wanted starter money.
As the article above pointed out (I realize it could be paywalled if you don't get The Athletic) this was only a known issue with his last contract - the Broncos made it part of any trade for him that he take a pay cut. He already had a contract so he didn't want to do that. Nobody has negotiated with him since, that we know of. So your question is valid ...if he signs as a backup, is he willing to do so in line with what the backup range of pay is....We don't know
The Broncos trade talks must be what I was recalling (Athletic is behind a pay wall), just recalled at one point there was a salary issue that prevented him going somewhere. Just read that back then they wanted him to take $7Mil a year, now what would he likely get for an offer? Doubt it'd be anything close to 7 Mil.

Agree that it probably would not. That wasn't a time where he was pretty clearly a back up - they had trash at qb then.
I would think that he knows now he would sign as a back up and see where it went.
He could price himself out, but until he does it feels like that is an empty excuse.
I think if teams had actually thought about signing him, he would have settled for a backup job eventually. I’m convinced there was collusion to keep him from “disrespecting” the flag.
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

Kap had 11 starts, with a 16-4 TD-INT ratio and almost 500 yards rushing at 6.8 ypa. Doesn't seem neutralized or bad by those numbers. Not to mention that was a terrible team around him. His best days weren't in front of him, but he still had plenty of football left in him in 2017. He's probably not capable of starting now, but is certainly deserving of a spot on an NFL roster, because I'm sure he can be one of the better #2's in the game.
Everyone forgets that when Harbaugh left, Kap was done.
Harbaugh got maximum effort and efficiency from him. Harbaugh was a hell of a coach and I believe when he saw in 14 that he wasn't going to be able to take the team any further than what they had done, overachieving, he took off to Michigan and the 49ers stunk even more.

I remember the Dolphins/Niners game from 2016. Kap played well, almost bringing them back from a large deficit, but he sure looked like he didn't want to be there. Just from a body language standpoint. Might have been because they were in the midst of a horrible season. Lord knows Randy Moss and others have said "fuck it" when things go south. But it was weird. Again, he played fine. But I always looked back at that game as "Eh, he might better off a civil rights activist than a football player." He seems more into the latter.

I remember Gino Smith coming in from backup for a game and same thing. He did NOT want to be there and it showed. Wasn't prepared.
Kap's deal was different though. The team sucked and he had a HUGE weight on his shoulders.

Yeah that's why I said it could be just a "fuck it" attitude during a tough season. But who knows, maybe that did factor into some GMs and scouts. Protest or no protest, if a team thought he could help, he would've been on a team in 2017. Patrick Mahomes could've knelt every game last year and it wouldn't have affected his employment a single bit.
To each their own. We would have never known and don't know if he wasn't signed in 2017 because he was so persistent on being a starter. I stand by my opinion and think he would have been a good asset to a team in need of a starting QB or a high-value backup.

Well if you are a coach you get to pick your staff so all of Harbaughs guys are gone. Only Rathman remained.
5 years for a football team can be a complete change. The following years not so much.
The main thing that changed was Harbaugh leaving in my eyes. Kap never passes the eye test for me. The whole team overachieved under Harbaugh.

Not a good comparison. Kap fell apart after he left, Harbaugh knew the team overachieved. The wheels just fell off.
It's like the Jets when they made it to two Championship games and lost. Overachieved.

Using one OL that stuck around isn't a very convincing argument.
1-The team overachieved. It's ok to say that and to admit that. Teams do it all the time. 2-Harbaugh left. He saw the ship going down and had zero desire to try and right it because of management he dealt with in the upstairs. 3-Kap isn't that good, see #1. 4-Trent Dilfer won a Superbowl. I repeat, Trent Dilfer.
My argument is that the whole team changed form one SB appearance to the next, it wasn't just Harbaugh leaving. So what Harbaugh did there (and Kaepernick as well) has nothing to with the current success. Mickey asked what personnel changes were made, and you said the main change was Harbaugh leaving...the entire team has changed. 52 of 53 players.
