If Wilson goes down to injury and Kaep becomes our starter then Carroll will have to change the play-calling to fit Kaep's limits skill set bc Kaep won't be able to run 60% of our passing plays

It depends on the price, however. We paid a couple of million for T. Jackson, but it's a different circumstance vis a vis the Cap this year.

RiverDog wrote:Those are two huge assumptions. Rumor has it that he's lost his desire to play football. I'd much rather have someone like Boykin that's hungry.
c_hawkbob wrote:I disagree. The fact that Pete, probably the most likely coach in the league to let a young guy play, chose to have play Wilson hurt rather than give Boykin a chance is the only real evidence we have of what Boykin is or is not capable of.

Don't forget what time in the season that Russell got hurt in...first game of the year followed by another injury in the 3rd game. Boykin was a rookie suiting up for his first regular season game ever. Heaven forbid, but Pete might act differently if that same scenario were to play out this season.

Not only that but if you remember, his errant throw sent us to the Superbowl.
Do NOT want.
Boykin screwed up off the field, and deserves a last chance to play in the NFL. He has all the tools, we all saw glimpses of it, plus his price tag fits the Cap, not so for the Kap.
I'm in favor of signing Kaep personally.

Our 3 year old nephew, Ethan just graduated from high school and is headed to college (ok, he's 3 in my mind & 18 in real life). Enjoy the handsome lad and raise him right. He's got a great name and and a super awesome Grandfather!
