Along the way he beat Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan in playoff level games...and he did it with lesser WR talent than he will have here this coming season.
He may prove to be only a one or two year stop gap but I would be very surprised if that were the case. He is a guy who can take a team deep into the playoffs, and I expect him to do just that.

Cool post... but for the bolded, Kaepernick was handpicked and traded up for. He was always gonna be the QBOTF in SF. Just crazy abilities with arm and legs. Alex bought into the BS Harbaugh was selling... Jim went far out of his way to kiss Alex's arse... only to stab him in the back with his true plan.
