Does Kaepernick choke?

The San Francisco 49ers were projected to have a hotter start than they had last season. With the additions of Stevie Johnson, Antoine Bethea, Jimmie Ward, Carlos Hyde, Johnathon Martin, and the return of Brandon Lloyd to San Fran. Most of these names can be seen on the offensive side. This means the defense did not get that much help in the offseason this year. The niners lost defenders like Carlos Rogers, Tarell Brown, and Donte Witner the three quality starters for this team last year. On the offensive side they lost Jonathon Goodwin, Anthony Dixson, and Mario Manningham.

With these departures, the pressure was set on Kaepernick and the high powered offense of San Francisco. Kaepernick has proven that he can win during the regular season but, can he win the big games. Jim Harbaugh must believe in him because Kaepernick has got an extension of a six year 126 million dollar deal (for almost twenty million dollars per year).

The big thing for Kaepernick is that he was only drafted in 2011. He is a young player who still has a ton of potential.

People say that he can not win the big games. Kap has made it to a Super Bowl and two NFC championships. He still has not got a ring yet but, many quarterbacks have only won one Super Bowl. Quarterback like Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner and Joe Namath have only won one Super Bowl.

This year Colin has already thrown four interceptions when having a lead. Many fans say that “Kaepernick chokes” and “ Kap blows or sucks.” For Kap, it has been the play calling. Why would the 49ers pass the ball when you have Frank Gore, Marcus Lattimore, Carlos Hyde, and Kaepernick himself for a scramble or read option. It is the play call that is making the 49ers lose these games. They need to do something the Chargers ran with Marty Schottenheimer called, “Marty Ball.” You run, run, and run the ball. By doing this you take loads of pressure off Kaepernick and it will give him more confidence. Kaepernick will learn to trust his halfbacks and he will know he does not have to force throws like Tony Romo

Adrian Peterson Domestic Violence

Many people know Adrian Peterson (a running back for the Minnesota Vikings #28) as the best running back in the NFL today. AP has the most respect as a halfback when he came off of an ACL tear two years ago, winning MVP and nearly breaking the single year rushing record. The former MVP has committed a domestic violence case to his own four year old son. The Vikings had deactivated Peterson for their game against the New England Patriots after he turned himself in to authorities on accounts of a "beating or "whooping" of his four year old son. 
Peterson had left bruises on his child's legs and genitals, according to police reports.
Many fans have been asking where do the Vikings go now after losing their star player. Should they trade him or should they wait until he is reinstated. They will more than likely look at Cordarerlle Patterson, the second year pro out of Tennessee. Patterson has proven that he is a versatile on special teams, receiving and even running the football. Many players in the league want him to play such as, Reggie Bush of the Detroit Lions and teammate Captain Munnerlyn. Many people like the Minnesota governor, owner Zygi Wilf, and Viking legend Fran Tarkenton believe he should be suspended indefinitely.  
As a fan of football, I believe AP deserves to play football. The NFL might be reinstating Ray Rice and he beat his wife in an elevator! There have been many drug cases with players like Josh Gordan, Aldon Smith and Wes Welker and they will get to play. In Peterson's defense, back then he got beat a lot as a kid. He got whipped, beaten, and abused regularly by his father. All fans of AP can do is sit back, pray and wait for Peterson, ("All Day")  return to the game we all love.
