Kaepernick is a big bag of mystery
You can name QBs who took a bit of time to excell. Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger are 2.
You can name QBs who took a bit of time to be excrement. Mark Sanchez, Josh Freeman are 2.
I don't see Kapernick as either. I'd bet on a Donovan McNabb type.
He actually has 29 starts in the NFL now. 23 + 6 playoff.
And in college he was asked to throw as well. He had 200 more throws in his college career than Andrew Luck.
He wasn't Michael Vick who played 2 years and threw 16 times a game.
And as a QB who was 26, in the NFL for 3 years, same HC, same OC, mostly the same teammates, 26 starts...
His 27th 28th 29th games played stink, stank, stunk as far as QBing goes.
He needs to worry about getting to Alex Smith level of competence before worrying about being great and living up to the contract.
Because most of being great QB is a foundation of game manager + a handful of great plays a game where you flat out beat a defense with your mind and or arm/legs.
